The Rendezvous came out in early 2024 and has quickly become the adventure racing raft of choice as well as the best fishing packraft. Check out our short video review of it here.
#704
Color: Cedar Green
Defects:
2 tube patches, aqua seal on connecting zipper fabric, a few pinhole aqua seal patches on floor.
Special features:
T-zip in tube storage includes 2 XL internal dry bags.
Bottom Line:
The zipper situation on this raft is something that should be monitored but it isn't a problem that could cause total failure. If the aqua seal peels up, it will cause a slow leak, so if it peels up you can just replace it....or send it back to Alpacka and get the zipper replaced for $150 +shipping. Otherwise it's in solid shape. Great fishing raft!

**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.
