The Rendezvous

Lighter, affordable, better - Pick all three! Alpacka Raft’s most comfortable two-person model, the Rendezvous replaces the Oryx with an innovative design that uses an integrated central thwart in place of seats. This means lighter overall weight, less bulk, and fewer parts to keep track of which makes packing in a breeze.

On the water, the Rendezvous seats two paddlers like a traditional canoe and is ideal for long days on flatwater lakes and rivers. The rear paddler sits on the stern and the front paddler sits on the thwart. The thwart also stiffens up the hull and makes it possible for either paddler to stand for short periods for casting and scouting. This makes it the best fishing model the Alpacka Raft lineup.

The Aquabound Shred-Apart 240cm paddle is a fantastic fit with the Rendezvous. Use it in canoe configuration when you have two paddlers and want to make time. Use it in kayak paddle configuration so the rear paddler can operate the boat and the front passenger can fish, watch wildlife, or prepare a mid-river lunch.

Sizing & Specifications

*Weight includes all components except inflation bag, repair kit, and internal dry bags for Cargo Fly.
**Packed size is a reference measurement based on folding each lengthwise edge of the boat to the center and rolling from the bow. There are many other methods of rolling and folding the boats that will result in a different packed size that may be more or less efficient for packing depending on the situation.
***Max Capacity is the maximum total weight (paddlers and cargo) that the boat can reasonably carry in flatwater under ideal conditions. Actual capacity for any given trip will vary widely based on the paddler’s skill and water conditions. Please review our weight carrying capacity guide for further details.
