Sea Eagle PF7 PackFish™ – Portable Backpack Fishing Boat
The Sea Eagle PackFish7™ is the ultimate ultra-portable fishing boat — lightweight, compact, and designed for anglers who want to reach remote fishing spots where larger boats can’t go. Better than a float tube, this fully enclosed, high-and-dry packraft fishing boat keeps you completely out of the water while offering excellent stability, portability, and durability.
Weighing just 22 lbs (32 lbs fully rigged), the PackFish7™ sets up in under 5 minutes and packs into a compact backpack, making it the perfect grab-and-go backpack fishing boat for lakes, rivers, bays, and remote backcountry fishing trips.
Fish two ways:
-
Sit and fish for hours in the comfortable Deluxe Inflatable Fishing Seat with back support
-
Stand and cast using the removable wooden floorboard for stable sight fishing and fly fishing
If you're considering a float tube, don’t buy one until you see the PackFish7™.
About the Sea Eagle Frameless Fishing Series
Sea Eagle’s Frameless Fishing Boats are lightweight, portable, and packable, with no frame and no trailer required. These boats fit in small spaces and can be carried to remote waters where fish are plentiful and boat launches don’t exist.
Perfect for:
-
Lakes
-
Rivers
-
Bays
-
Creeks
-
Remote backcountry waters
With large air chambers, these boats support heavy loads while drafting as little as 4 inches of water, giving you access to shallow areas that traditional boats can’t reach.
The PackFish7™ includes two built-in rod holders, while other frameless models like the 285fpb and STS10 feature universal Scotty™ mounts so you can fully customize your fishing setup.
