The Grabner Tramper is an ideal entry-level kayak for paddlers looking for a stable and forgiving inflatable kayak for calm waters. Its wide hull and generous interior width create a very secure feeling on the water – perfect for beginners, families or leisure paddlers who value comfort and easy handling. The gently raised, flat bow allows the kayak to glide smoothly over small waves, contributing to calm and relaxed paddling performance.
Comfortable seats and flexible adjustment options
The comfortable kayak seats can be installed in no time and offer space for two medium-sized paddlers or for solo use with plenty of additional storage room. Seat position and backrest angle can be adjusted flexibly, making it easy to find an ergonomic seating position. The reinforced backrest supports the upper body while paddling, while the raised padding helps ensure a dry and comfortable seating experience, even on longer tours.
Good posture and confident handling
The continuously adjustable foot braces provide secure support and promote proper body posture, which is especially beneficial for beginners. This simple yet effective setup allows the Tramper to be paddled in a controlled and efficient manner. A stable rear fitting also makes it easy to mount an optional rudder system or even a small electric motor. Practical grab handles at the bow and stern simplify carrying the kayak on land.
Even more comfort with a rudder system
When equipped with a rudder system, the Grabner Tramper reveals its full potential. Currents, wind and waves can be compensated much more easily, and the kayak can be kept precisely on course with minimal effort. Especially on longer distances or in changing conditions, the rudder provides noticeably greater comfort and an overall more enjoyable paddling experience.

The Grabner Tramper is supplied as standard with two seats and two foot braces, allowing you to use the kayak comfortably right from the start. The package also includes a repair kit for minor damage, a valve wrench, and an overpressure adapter. This means you are well equipped for safe operation as well as basic maintenance of the kayak.
In addition to essential equipment such as a paddle, air pump, and personal flotation device, we also recommend adding extra D-rings to the Grabner Tramper. These allow you to keep items like a throw bag or other important gear securely attached and within easy reach on the kayak. This is especially useful when quick access is needed on the water.
The Tramper truly shows its strengths when combined with a rudder system. It noticeably improves straight-line tracking, makes maneuvering easier, and allows the wide, exceptionally stable kayak to be paddled in a more relaxed and controlled manner, particularly on longer stretches.
With a suitable air pump, the Grabner Tramper is ready to go in just a few minutes. The kayak features three separate air chambers – one floor chamber and two side chambers – each inflated to 0.3 bar. This straightforward setup allows for a quick launch, so you can get on the water without unnecessary effort or delay.
The Grabner Tramper is suitable for both solo paddling and tandem use, offering plenty of freedom of movement thanks to its wide, stable design. Even taller paddlers will find ample space and a comfortable seating position. When paddled solo, the generous interior also provides plenty of room for luggage, making it well suited for day trips or relaxed weekend tours with gear.
The Grabner Tramper is suitable for whitewater up to Class II and is well prepared for lightly moving water. Its stable construction ensures the kayak remains reliable and easy to control in gentle whitewater sections, providing a confident and predictable ride.
The Grabner Tramper is made from durable 1100 dtex EPDM rubber, one of the most robust materials used in inflatable boats. This vulcanized rubber fabric offers exceptional abrasion resistance, is UV-stable, and remains flexible even in cold temperatures. As a result, the Tramper easily handles regular ground contact, rocks, and frequent beaching.
Its wide hull shape distributes loads evenly across the structure, further enhancing overall stability. Combined with high material thickness and premium seam construction, the Tramper remains reliably airtight and shape-stable even after many seasons of use—an important advantage for paddlers who place a high value on long-term durability.
Despite its wide and stable design, the Grabner Tramper packs down surprisingly compact. At 16.5 kg, it is relatively lightweight for its size and can easily be carried by one person. The flexible EPDM rubber allows the kayak to be folded tightly, so it takes up little space in the transport bag and fits comfortably in the boot of a car.
Thanks to the quick-drying material, the kayak can be packed away straight after a tour. This makes the Tramper an excellent choice for camping, weekend trips, and travel—especially for paddlers looking for a very stable, spacious, yet still transport-friendly inflatable kayak.
