Whether you’re hiking into a wilderness river or hopping the guardrails into roadside streams, the Approach 138 is as easy to transport as it is to float skinny waters.

  • Ultra-lightweight design for easy transport. The Approach 138—the largest of the Approach Rafts—can fit securely in most standard truck beds.
  • Purpose-built for stealth, the Approach raft series combines 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.
  • Whitewater-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.
  • Integrated rod holders protect and store up to four fully-rigged 9'6" fly rods, letting anglers adapt as conditions change.
  • Approach Dry Box seat platform(s) provide convenient external trays and internal waterproof storage compartments, keeping gear dry, organized, and eliminating tripping hazards.
  • Padded Rower Seat and Angler Folding seats can attach to the Approach Dry Boxes.
  • Molded Thigh Hooks in the bow and stern provide additional support for front and back anglers and feature cup holders and a storage tray.
  • Internal anchor system easily controlled from the rower's seat keeps anchor line away from anglers and gear. Includes 3/8" anchor line.
  • Features high-quality Leafield™ C7 Inflation valves and six self-fabric handles.
  • Three main air chambers plus the drop-stitch floor insert keeps you afloat in the event of a puncture.
  • Approach Rafts hold a 5-year retail warranty, 3-year commercial.
