Collection: Alpacka

Alpacka Raft started in the fall of 2000 as a collaboration between Sheri Tingey, the design genius behind all of our products, and her son Thor, who had just completed a 600-mile packrafting traverse of Alaska’s Brooks Range and had some ideas for how to make a better-performing packraft.

Every Alpacka Raft packraft is manufactured by hand in Mancos, Colorado, factory by skilled craftsmen and women that are dedicated to their craft. The current models are the product of years of experiments, re-design, and great feedback from the boating community.

Alpacka continues to build tiny, little boats for those who demand something unreasonable from them. Their designs and innovation have refined and defined the sport, and with the help of adventurers all over the world, pushed packrafting further than ever thought possible.
