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.
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.
