About Alpacka Raft
Alpacka Raft designs and builds packrafts, the lightweight inflatable boats used for backcountry travel by paddlers, hunters, anglers and families. The range covers flatwater, lightwater and whitewater use, as well as tandem, family, hunting and fishing configurations, alongside a custom lab for personalised builds. Boats are complemented by paddles, PFDs, paddling suits, outfitting accessories and repair materials, supporting the boats throughout their working life. Packrafts are handbuilt in Colorado.
The brand sells directly to customers through its own website, presenting itself around the activity of packrafting rather than a broader outdoor lifestyle. Alongside the product catalogue, Alpacka Raft maintains an education centre covering boat selection, sizing, safety, care and repair, and offers retrofit and repair services to extend the life of existing boats. Its site also addresses manufacturing origin and sustainability efforts, and includes conservation-related content, positioning the brand around long-term use and maintenance of its products as much as initial sale.
