Spacious touring kayak for families, couples and demanding paddlers
The Grabner Riverstar is an exceptionally spacious inflatable kayak offering ample room for two adults and their gear. Thanks to its comfortable design, it is equally well suited for extended multi-day tours and relaxed day trips. Whether on rivers, lakes or coastal adventures, the Riverstar is ideal for paddlers who expect maximum stability, comfort and quick setup from an inflatable touring kayak.
Stable and comfortable thanks to a well-thought-out design
With a length of five metres and a width of 90 centimetres, the Riverstar provides outstanding space on board. It can comfortably accommodate one or two paddlers, and even two children can sit side by side. The flat, stable hull design ensures a secure and confidence-inspiring paddling experience, making the kayak easy to handle even for less experienced paddlers. The open cockpit allows flexible adjustment of seat position and weight distribution.
High seating comfort and reliable control
Continuously adjustable foot braces offer secure support and promote an ergonomic paddling posture. The fully inflatable side decks provide reliable protection from spray and also contribute to the kayak’s overall stability. The comfortable inflatable seats can be individually adjusted, allowing for hours of relaxed paddling – a clear advantage on longer distances.
Generous storage space and practical features
Beneath the deck, generous storage space is available for gear and supplies. Ergonomic carry handles at the bow and stern make transport on land easier and ensure convenient handling. Standard rear fittings also allow for the installation of an optional rudder system or a small electric motor, further improving manoeuvrability and comfort when paddling a longer kayak.
Tip: When equipped with a suitable rudder system, the Riverstar becomes especially enjoyable to paddle. The rudder effortlessly compensates for wind, current and waves, resulting in relaxed, precise tracking.

The Grabner Riverstar comes standard with two comfortable inflatable seats and two sturdy foot braces, providing an ergonomic and well-supported seating position right from the start. The package also includes a repair kit for minor damage, a valve wrench, and an overpressure adapter, ensuring you are fully equipped to perform basic maintenance and operate the kayak safely.
In addition to essential gear such as a paddle, air pump, and personal flotation device, we recommend fitting the Grabner Riverstar with extra D-rings. These allow items like a kayak trolley to be securely attached, making transport to and from the water much easier. Other equipment can also be safely stowed and kept within easy reach.
The Riverstar truly performs at its best when paired with a rudder system. It significantly improves straight-line tracking, makes maneuvering the long hull easier, and ensures the kayak remains comfortable and controllable even in windy or changing conditions.
The Grabner Riverstar can be quickly prepared for use with a suitable air pump. The kayak features four separate air chambers, each inflated to 0.3 bar. Thanks to the even pressure distribution, the Riverstar rapidly achieves its stable shape, making it ready for your next outing with minimal effort.
The Grabner Riverstar is a generously sized kayak for one or two paddlers, offering exceptional space thanks to its wide interior. Even taller or heavier paddlers will find a comfortable seating position. With its ample storage capacity, the kayak is ideal for multi-day trips carrying plenty of gear. Its generous width even allows two children to sit side by side, making it a perfect choice for family outings.
The Grabner Riverstar is designed for whitewater up to Class II, making it well suited for gently flowing rivers and mild rapids. Its sturdy construction ensures the kayak remains reliable and controllable even in easy whitewater sections.
The Grabner Riverstar is made from high-quality 1100 dtex EPDM rubber, an extremely durable material renowned for its excellent abrasion resistance and UV stability. Its vulcanized construction ensures the hull remains elastic and reliably airtight even after many years of intensive use—withstanding rocky shorelines, frequent beachings, and heavy loads with ease.
The kayak’s wide and sturdy design distributes stress evenly, providing impressive shape stability even when fully loaded. With Grabner’s excellent availability of spare parts, the Riverstar can be maintained and repaired over the long term, making it one of the most durable premium inflatable kayaks on the market.
Despite its 5-meter length, the Grabner Riverstar folds down surprisingly compactly thanks to its flexible EPDM material. The kayak can be tightly packed into its transport bag, taking up far less space than its size might suggest. Weighing 28 kg, it remains comfortably manageable for two people, making it ideal for trips with multiple launch points.
The material dries quickly, allowing the Riverstar to be packed away immediately after a tour. Once folded, it fits easily into the boot of many larger vehicles or a camper van—perfect for paddlers seeking a high-quality, comfortable touring kayak that is still easy to transport.
