Packraft Maine

A new way to explore Maine’s waters and woods.

Packrafts are lightweight inflatable boats that roll up to a small packable size. Packrafts can easily be packed in a backpack or on a bicycle, allowing us to offer lower impact paddling trips.

New to packrafts?

We have a full fleet of packrafts and all the necessary paddling equipment needed to try out packrafting for the first time.

Already have your own?

Great we can create more advanced trips to match your skill and experience.

We have two styles of trips:

Custom

Come alone or with a group of your friends.

We will work together to pick dates and a trip plan that works for you.

or

Workshops

Join a group of likeminded people on a preplanned skills workshop.

Adventuring together in the outdoors takes trust.

Rather than work with 3rd party booking apps,

we prefer to start the planning with a conversation.

Message, call, or fill out the form on our contact page to get started.
