Boat Capabilities
Grabner Riverstar XXL
Riverstar XXL Features & Innovations
Inflatable kayaks as large as the Riverstar XXL are hard to find and difficult to get right. Grabner has achieved greatness with this oversized kayak!
Riverstar XXL Features & Innovations
The Longer, The Better.
The Riverstar XXL’s long design allows for ample leg room for any size paddler without impeding on its storage capacity. The upward sloping bow glides over waves for a comfortable paddling experience in all conditions.
The unique V-shaped hull design stabilizes the Riverstar XXL and provides it with excellent tracking.
Fully Inflated Deck
The inflated deck wraps fully around the boat, including each gunwale cap. This provides increased torsional stability over the Riverstar XXL and even more seating options.
You can reverse one of the seats and have a face-to-face picnic on the water!
Lifting Handles for Added Convenience
Bow and stern handles are long enough to allow for comfortable carrying of your boat. Drag it from one end or have a friend help for longer portages.
Touring Level Comfort
The high quality inflatable seats allows for infinite adjustment to position and firmness. A high backrest and a flat seat bottom keeps your back feeling good and your center of gravity low.
Infinitely adjustable footrests provide a firm place to push your feet on, making the boat feel like an extension of your body. The optional rudder pedals mount onto these footrests for easy steerage!
Room for Everything
Plenty of storage space under the decks for luggage and gear. If you need more room, there are many net and bag options that can be mounted on top of the decks.
Additional Equipment
The included stern bracket allows you to mount an optional rudder or Torqeedo Ultra-Light outboard.
If you are paddling with two people, we strongly recommend a rudder to avoid any issues with winds, currents or paddlers that aren’t perfectly coordinated.

OUTBOARD MOTORS
Let Technology Do the Paddling for You!
Kayaks are amazingly well designed boats. They are stable due to their low center of gravity and are very hydrodynamic allowing them to be propelled easily, even by small muscle groups such as shoulders and arms. It is time to take advantage of the kayak’s design and leave behind manual paddling! Electric motors are reliable, efficient and environmentally friendly. An electric motor will free your hands so you can dedicate them to a fishing rod for easier landing of the big catch, a pair of binoculars for easier bird watching, or any other activity that would require two hands. Give in to the dark side and embrace the way of electric propulsion!
Built in GPS
Did you know that Torqeedo motors have built in GPS and a screen that displays real time range, runtime and speed? It also allows you to easily troubleshoot with error code readouts. Don’t guess with other brand’s display free designs. Torqeedo makes it easy to own and use an electric outboard!
Torqeedo 403 AC
$2299This electric motor is light in weight and provides ample propulsion to get you to your destination (or back) with ease! The Grabner motor mount (add to your cart from the above accessory list) provides a perfect and custom fit of this little motor so you can mount and be on the water in mere minutes.
Benefits:
- Faster than paddling
- Easier than paddling
- Extends paddling
- Paddling into the wind becomes trivial
- Rechargeable via wall outlet or solar
- Environmentally friendly
Kit Includes:
1 Motor, 1 915Wh Lithium Battery, 1 Control Unit, 1 90w AC Charger, 1 USB Adapter for charging other devices from battery, 1 Magnetic Kill Switch
