The world's first 3-in-1 packraft, the GAIA 4.0 is an innovative, highly versatile inflatable packraft.
With its modular deck and pluggable self-draining bottom, you'll be ready to sail whatever the spot. You can adapt them to suit your desires and the environment. Like all JAWS Packrafts, it's also super-compact, ultra-light and ultra-strong.
With just one boat, you can do it all!

gaia 4.0, the reversible self-bailer
The self-draining Packraft is ideal for class 3+ river use. At the factory, we make 16 drainage holes in the bottom fabric, distributed over the front and rear of the boat. Any water that may enter the Packraft in whitewater is quickly drained away through these drain holes. This function incorporates 16 watertight screw-in plugs* (+ 4 replacement plugs), enabling you to return your Packraft to its inboard out-of-water configuration whenever you want. The boat is equipped with an integral mattress perfectly suited to rapid water evacuation, and also isolates the paddler from any water on the bottom of the boat.
