- Winner of the 2026 Fly Fishing Show Consumers Choice Awards—Best Boat/Personal Watercraft and 2026 Men's Journal Outdoor Awards—Best Fishing Raft.
- Purpose-built for stealth, the Approach rafts combine smaller tubes with a thick drop-stitch floor insert to enhance buoyancy, letting it draft in really skinny water.
- 6" drop-stitch floor with a slip-resistant foam pad provides superior traction and grip when wet, reduces weight by eliminating casting platforms and protects the floor from grit and basic wear and tear.
- Ultra-lightweight design for easy transport. All Approach Rafts can fit in a standard truck bed or atop a jeep or SUV.
- Engineered for ultimate durability with welded seam tube construction and rugged PVC materials, plus bottom and top wear patches.
- Adjustable Slot Rail engineering creates a modular frame that easily adjusts to keep anglers comfortable and the boat balanced for superior rowing performance.
- Ten D-rings provide tie-down points for a frame or gear.
- Three main air chambers plus the drop-stitch floor insert keep you afloat in the event of a puncture.
- The Approach Dry Box seat platform provides convenient external trays and an internal waterproof storage compartment, keeping gear dry and organized and reducing trip hazards.
- Molded Thigh Hooks in the bow and stern provide additional support for anglers and feature cup holders and storage trays.
- Internal anchor system with NRS Aluminum Cam Cleat is easily controlled from the rower’s seat and keeps anchor line away from anglers and gear. Includes 3/8" anchor line.
- Integrated stern-mounted NRS Approach Cargo Rack provides additional storage and tie-down solutions.
- Guide Package (sold separately) includes a 2:1 assist pulley, making retrieving anchors an effortless task, plus a 24 lbs. Tornado anchor.
- Features high-quality Leafield C7 inflation valves and six self-fabric handles.
- 5-year retail warranty, 3-year commercial.
Outdoor New England (ONE) is committed to processing all orders within 1 business day of submission. While we strive to maintain stock of all items in all sizes and colors, some selections may be temporarily unavailable due to demand or supply limitations. If this happens, our customer service team will reach out to provide alternate color choices or to discuss availability of your selected item.

Shipping Times and Signatures
We prioritize getting your gear to you promptly and understand that timing is critical for outdoor adventures. While we work closely with shipping carriers, certain factors are outside our control. Delivery times are not guaranteed. Signatures are required for Kayak Shipments.
Kayak Shipping
Outdoor New England ships kayaks to our partner Freight Terminals to save time, reduce costs, and minimize the risk of damage. We will find a partner terminal closest to your location for pick up. If you prefer home delivery, give us a call and we can arrange it for an additional fee.
In some cases, especially for remote locations, ONE may request additional fees to cover the true shipping cost. We’ll notify you in advance and work to find the most efficient, affordable solution. Occasionally, in this instance, we may also suggest delivery to a nearby freight terminal for pick-up.
You may pick up kayaks directly at our Franklin, New Hampshire Location. Please contact Customer Service to arrange pickup. If you need to change your shipping method after placing your order, email us at info@outdoornewengland.com, and we’ll do our best to assist.
Important Note for Kayak Orders:
Upon kayak pickup/delivery, inspect the boat thoroughly before signing the received receipt. This is critical, as signing confirms the condition, and we cannot file damage claims afterward. If you notice any damage, do not sign and contact us immediately.
Shipping to Alaska & Hawaii
Shipping to Alaska and Hawaii incurs additional fees.
International Shipping
Outdoor New England is not currently shipping internationally due to high rates of loss and damage. We apologize for any inconvenience and hope to resume international shipping when conditions improve.
Local Pickup
Free local pickup is available at our Franklin, NH location. If you choose local pickup, our customer service team will contact you with details on location and availability.
Returns & Exchanges
