RIVERSTAR – outstanding comfort

and impressive stability

The RIVERSTAR offers plenty of space, generous legroom and excellent seating comfort for two tall adults plus luggage. Thanks to its exceptional stability and the new Wavepiercer design, the kayak moves smoothly and efficiently through the water with very little effort.

Perfect for relaxed day trips as well as longer touring adventures with camping gear on rivers, lakes and coastal waters. Durable, quick to set up and ideal for anyone who wants to switch from a folding kayak to a high-quality inflatable kayak.

The boat

New Wavepiercer design

Noticeably easier paddling

The newly developed Wavepiercer bow and the streamlined Wavepiercer inflatable floor extend the RIVERSTAR’s waterline.  Instead of pushing a bow wave in front of the kayak, the RIVERSTAR glides smoothly and efficiently through the water. 

Benefits: 

  • Effortless paddling 
  • Direct response to every paddle stroke 
  • Efficient forward travel, even on long distances 

Practical Multifunctional Line & Boat Trolley Fittings

The new multifunction line runs along the boat and provides multiple attachment points. 

Benefits: 

  • Easily hook on the spray cover
  • Secure dry bags at any position on the boat
  • Hold onto the boat in the water and on the shore 

Four triangular fittings standard on the stern: 

  • Stable mounting point for a boat trolley at the stern 
  • Secure attachment of larger gear 
  • Made from saltwater-resistant stainless steel 

Important: 

  • The multifunctional line is not suitable for carrying the boat
  • Dedicated carry handles are provided at bow and stern 

New Spray Cover

Firm fit, dry inside

The new spray cover features well-designed details for more comfort and better organization inside the kayak. 

  • Mesh pocket in front of each seat for small items 
  • Integrated crossbars for a firm fit
  • Water runs off the sides, keeping the cockpit dry 
  • Can be hooked onto the multifunctional line
  • Water-repellent, quick-drying fabric 
  • Timeless red-and-black design

Benefits on the water:

  • Splash water and rain run off the sides 
  • Gear stays securely stored inside the kayak 
  • More comfort when temperatures are lower

Plenty of room for two tall adults

The RIVERSTAR is designed so that even tall paddlers can sit and paddle comfortably. 

  • Seats and footrests are freely adjustable to leg length
  • Plenty of space for two tall adults with long legs
  • Spacious 50 cm interior width and comfortable inflatable seats

No cramped feeling, no muscle cramps - just sit back, relax, and paddle!

Flat design

long waterline, reduced wind resistance

The RIVERSTAR is intentionally flat, with a long waterline and reduced wind resistance.

Benefits: 

  • Less surface area exposed to crosswinds
  • The kayak glides more easily through the water 
  • Easy re-entry directly from the water 
  • Low center of gravity for high stability

Maximum stability on the water

safe paddling even in waves

The RIVERSTAR provides the highest stability against capsizing on the water in the GRABNER range. 

  • 90 cm boat width (+15 cm wider than the HOLIDAY) 
  • Large side tubes for high stability 
  • Safe entry and exit, even in the water 
  • Stable handling in waves and rough water 

Thanks to its wide and flat design, the RIVERSTAR remains stable and controllable at all times.

Solo or with a partner

always the ideal seating position

The RIVERSTAR can be used as a one-person or two-person kayak.

  • With two paddlers: front and rear seating position 
  • Solo: seat in the center for optimal balance and a level position in the water 
  • Seats freely adjustable to different leg lengths 
  • Footrests freely adjustable 

Thanks to the centered seating position, the kayak remains level in the water even when paddling solo. This ensures optimal use of the entire waterline.

Excellent seating comfort

The much-loved inflatable seat provides excellent comfort. 

  • Individually adjustable from soft to firm
  • Adapts optimally to the shape of your body
  • Optional insertable backrest for relaxed leaning back
  • Comfortable seating even on long tours

Footrests for stable support:

  • Can be positioned freely before inflation
  • Stable support for the feet while paddling
  • Prevents sliding forward

Inflatable side deck

More stability and better contact with the boat

The inflatable side deck is a unique feature of the RIVERSTAR. It makes the kayak noticeably more stable and improves your contact with the boat. 

This gives you significant advantages: 

More stability throughout the boat
The kayak flexes less on the water 

Better body contact with the boat
Your thighs rest firmly against the sides, giving you more control while paddling

Secure feeling while paddling
The kayak remains easy to control, especially in rapids or waves

Protection from splash water 
Less water enters from the sides 

Easy re-entry from the water
The shape helps you get back into the kayak more easily 

Gear stored safely and quickly accessible

The RIVERSTAR offers well-designed storage solutions for touring. 

Practical bow/stern bag 

  • Waterproof zipper for easy access to all items 
  • Quick to attach and remove – ideal for carrying gear from the kayak to the campsite 

Bow/stern nets: Small items within reach 

  • Nets for small items you want to access while paddling 

Internal dry bag 

  • Shaped to fit the bow/stern
  • Makes optimal use of the available space inside the kayak 

Attachment points at the stern 

  • Four stainless steel triangular fittings at the stern 
  • Suitable for a boat trolley or bulky equipment

This keeps your gear well organized, securely stored and always easy to reach.

Ergonomic carrying handles

comfortable to carry

The ergonomic carrying handles at the bow and stern make it easy to carry the RIVERSTAR. 

  • Wide handles fit comfortably in the hand 
  • Rotate 360° for a natural hand position  
  • Positioned at the very front and rear so the kayak doesn’t bump against your body while carrying

Rear handle with flexible rubber attachment: 

  • Flexes when lifting and protects against contact with the raised rudder blade 

Steering device

stay on course and steer with precision

The optional steering device makes it easier to stay on course in crosswinds, currents, and when paddling strength varies. 

Easy steering:

  • Left pedal → Turn left 
  • Right pedal → Turn right 
  • The rudder blade automatically folds up on contact with the ground 

Easy setup: 

  • Steering lines are inserted into the deck during the first assembly and remain permanently installed 
  • The rudder is inserted at the stern 
  • Steering lines are attached with two carabiners 
  • Starting with the second assembly, setup takes about 1 minute 

Electric motor (optional)

gentle support like an e-bike

More range. Less effort. 

  • Gentle support similar to an e-bike 
  • Ideal for long distances and light headwinds 
  • Speed control via wrist-mounted remote 
  • Direction control via foot pedals 
  • The motor automatically folds up on contact with the ground 

Range and speed 

  • One battery: approx. 4 hours operating time (spare battery available) 
  • Motor only: approx. 4 km/h, approx. 16 km range 
  • Motor + paddling: approx. 6 km/h, approx. 24 km range

Benefits:

  • Highly abrasion-resistant and resistant to ground contact 
  • High UV resistance and very long service life 
  • Hot-vulcanized in one piece for especially strong seams 
  • Excellent dimensional stability thanks to Grabner’s proven hard operating pressure

An inflatable boat that brings joy for decades and across generations.

ELBA 2024 KANUWANDERN zu Zweit mit 3 Hunden als Finale dieser Tour

Lieber Wolfgang,

hier mal gerade ein Statement von mir zur Verwendung unter "Referenzen" bei Euch.

"Seit genau 30 Jahren verwenden wir in unserer Familie Grabner-Luftboote im Wildwasser- und Wanderbereich. Seit 2012 begleiten uns auf unseren Kanu- und Segeltrekkingtouren auch 3 Hunde (Australian Shepherds). Wir haben die Modelle OUTSIDE, ADVENTURE, RIVERSTAR, EXPLORER II und HAPPY CAT HURRICANE im Einsatz. Stets führen wir bei unseren Abenteuertouren, wo es oft über Stock und stein geht, den Grabner-Reparatur-Set im Tourengepäck mit. Oft hatten wir das Gefühl, wenn die Boote besonders heftig über Grund rutschten, jetzt müssen wir doch ein Loch in der Bootshaut eingefangen haben. Es war nie der Fall - bis auf eine Ausnahme. Bei einer besonders extremen Segeltrekking-Tour zwischen den Schären der finnischen Åland-Inseln mussten wir im Sturm in Deckung gehen und hatten nicht genug Platz am Ufer einer Schäreninsel, um den HAPPY CAT HURRICANE weit genug aus dem Ostsee-Wasser zu ziehen. Die Schläuche wippten die ganze Zeit durch Wellengang. Am Morgen entdeckten wir eine Schadstelle an einem Katschlauch. Die erste Haut und das Gewebe waren durch gescheuert. Das innenliegende Kautschuk hatte standgehalten. Mit Hilfe des Grabner-Reparatur-Sets konnten wir die Schadstelle sauber mit einem Flicken überkleben. Der Flicken hält bis heute.

Aktuell sind wir von einer Elba-Paddel- und Segeltour mit Grabner-Luftbooten nach Hause zurück gekehrt. Wir hatten Spaß mit unseren robusten und zuverlässigen Kajaks. Für den Sommer 2024 planen wir wieder Touren in Schweden. Dazu sind die Grabner-Boote bereits wieder gesäubert in unserem kleinen Reisewohnwagen verstaut. Anbei ein Link zu unserer letzten Paddeltour auf Elba im April 2024"
