YOUR TAKE-ANYWHERE KAYAK
Tramper S
TRAMPER - YOUR TAKE-ANYWHERE KAYAK
Tracks straight. Tip-resistant. Surprisingly fast.
Everyone wants to know what makes the TRAMPER S so special — and the answer is simple. Thanks to my innovative wavepiercing air floor, I deliver exceptional directional stability, impressive speed, and outstanding tipping resistance — all in a compact size. I am your take-anywhere kayak for spontaneous, hassle-free paddling on lakes and gentle rivers. I am not made from ordinary PVC, but from durable, highly airtight rubber. I am lightweight, incredibly easy to set up, and ready to go in just 4 minutes. I fit into any motorhome and can be carried effortlessly on public transportation. Use my multifunction line to secure your gear or attach my modern spray deck. Step in, paddle and enjoy — I’ll take care of the rest.
The boat
Handling & Setup
You can roll me up into a compact package — just 50 × 40 × 20 cm — so I fit easily into any trunk, camper, or bus. As your take-anywhere kayak, I'm ready whenever you feel like hitting the water.
Just unroll me, position the seat and foot brace, inflate — no complicated frame required. I’m ready to launch in only four minutes - it doesn’t get much faster than that. With the overpressure adapter, you inflate me to the perfect operating pressure. My air chambers are firm and stable, giving you a comfortable ride with no sagging whatsoever.
And thanks to my low weight, you can carry me to the water with one hand.
THE SECRET OF MY IMPRESSIVE SPEED
My sleek wavepiercing bow doesn’t just look good: when you position the seat forward, the bow tip dips slightly into the water, extending my waterline to my full length of 340 cm. This reduces drag and lets you achieve roughly 15% higher average speeds compared to conventional compact inflatables, whose upturned bows create a larger bow wave and noticeably more resistance. With steady paddling, I accelerate effortlessly to 6 - 8 km/h — perfect for lakes and gentle river sections.
Speaking of the seat:
My tall backrest includes an integrated, rigid support plate. It provides solid stability and relieves pressure on your back so you can paddle comfortably. Thanks to the slightly raised, padded seat, you stay dry at all times. And my foot brace gives your feet secure support, keeping you from sliding forward.
Storage space & Gear
Want to take everything you need with you? My all-round multifunctional line gives you support and keeps your gear secure. Use it to fasten dry bags, waterproof bags, or barrels. I carry about 37 liters of storage in the stern and roughly 20 liters in the bow - plenty of space for everything you need on a day trip. And when you’re in the water, you can hold on to me — I’m there when you need me.
However, the multifunctional line is not intended for carrying the boat—I have separate carrying handles at the bow and stern for that purpose
Spray Cover
Want to stay dry? My spray cover keeps you protected. Splash water from the double paddle won't hit your thighs, and rain won’t soak your boat. There’s a handy mesh pocket in front of the cockpit for a water bottle or small items – always within reach.
Built-in crossbars keep the deck tight so water runs off easily. The water-resistant material dries quickly, letting you pack it away right after paddling.
I handle rivers with light splashes with ease. Challenging whitewater is left to my siblings HYPE and ESCAPE 1, both with fully enclosed, completely waterproof decks.
Steering device
Want full control in every situation? I'm ready for a steering device—my stern comes with standard fittings that you can easily plug it into. With it, I can reliably stay on course even in crosswinds or currents.
When launching and landing in shallow water, simply flip up my rudder blade. And if we ever touch the bottom in a river, it lifts automatically – without getting stuck.
Electric motor
Want to glide effortlessly? You can mount a small electric motor on my stern – the motor bracket simply plugs in where the steering device would go.
You steer as usual with the foot pedals, and control speed comfortably with a wrist-mounted remote. In the standard setting, you quietly cruise at around 4 km/h for about four hours.
If you also paddle, both speed and range increase – perfect for longer trips, or for days when you just want to enjoy the view without much effort. Simply glide along and experience the freedom on the water.
Durability & Longevity
I’m not made from ordinary PVC – my hull is crafted from premium rubber, made in Germany. In Austria, I’m transformed by traditional handcraft into a finished boat. This creates value in both countries while supporting local jobs and regional economies.
My I-beam construction with floor bulges has been proven over decades. I don't need drop stitch—there is no delamination with me. I can be inflated quickly, reaching the proven hard Grabner air pressure with minimal effort.
I gently cushion even hard impacts with the ground – and if damage does occur, I can be repaired easily and reliably without having to dispose of the entire boat.
Every seam is permanently bonded through hot vulcanization - no comparison to PVC bonds, which can come apart with heat or aging.
My outer skin made of EPDM rubber is UV-stable and particularly abrasion-resistant, and my natural rubber inner coating reliably keeps the air in. I remain dimensionally stable where other boats sag.
I’m free from PVC, carcinogenic plasticizers, and PFAS substances like Teflon – safe for you and better for the environment.
Thanks to my high-quality, durable construction, I maintain my value and even after years retain a strong resale price.
I’m built to last for decades, not just a few seasons.
