The reversible self-bailing boat
The self-bailing Packraft is ideal for Class 3+ river use. We install 16 drainage holes in the bottom canvas, located at the front and rear of the boat.
Any water that may enter the Packraft in white water is then quickly evacuated through these drain holes. This feature includes 16 waterproof screw-on plugs* (+ 4 replacement plugs) allowing you to return your Packraft to its dry configuration whenever you want.
The boat is equipped with a full mattress perfectly suited to rapid water evacuation and to isolate the paddler from water that may be at the bottom of the boat.

Tested and validated in expeditions
It has proven its reliability in the field, even under extreme conditions. Durable, stable, and high-performing, it supports the most demanding adventurers where the stakes are high and there’s no room for error.
Mode 1: Open packraft
In open mode with the drainage holes sealed, the GAIA by JAWS transforms into an ultra-versatile packraft—perfect for calm water adventures or long-distance expeditions. Comfortable and spacious, with no self-bailing system, it keeps the interior dry while providing plenty of room to move. An ideal setup for paddling light, far, and for extended periods.
Mode 2: self-draining packraft
The GAIA in its self-bailing version is designed for technical routes and challenging conditions. Its draining floor and ultra-fast water evacuation system automatically clear out any water that enters, ensuring a lighter, more responsive ride. It's the ideal choice for whitewater enthusiasts who want to stay in control—even in the most intense sections.
Mode 3: full deck packraft
The GAIA is equipped with a full deck designed for the most demanding conditions. Fully zippered and fitted with a waterproof spraydeck, it provides optimal protection against splashes, wind, and harsh weather. Perfect for intense expeditions and river runs, this deck transforms your packraft into a true cocoon of safety and performance.
The real 3-in-1
GAIA 4.0 is the world’s first 3-in-1 packraft to offer this level of versatility. A true revolution in the inflatable kayak world, it adapts to any situation with its modular deck and convertible self-bailing floor. Fully equipped, it lets you navigate anywhere—lakes, rivers, or whitewater—with complete freedom.
Ultra-compact volume
What sets the packraft apart is its exceptional compactness, making it the ideal watercraft for outdoor expeditions. Once folded, it fits easily into a backpack, leaving room for the rest of your gear. Unlike rigid kayaks or canoes, it requires no trailer or roof rack and can be carried on foot, by bike, or even on public transport. This ultra-compact format allows you to combine hiking, mountaineering, cycling, or exploring with paddling—unlocking entirely new possibilities for adventure.
100% recyclable and repairable TPU fabric
At JAWS, every detail matters—including environmental impact. Our packrafts are made with 100% recyclable and fully repairable TPU fabric. Strong, durable, and eco-designed, it extends the life of your craft while reducing its footprint. A responsible choice with no compromise on performance.
