NRS Approach 100 Fishing Raft Package

Oars and anchor are not included with the base package.

Oars and anchor are available when purchased with the Rowers Package Add-On.

Overcrowding on popular waterways is an increasing problem. Be part of the solution with the Approach 100, a micro-raft designed to give adventure anglers more access to skinny waters and remote fisheries. With an emphasis on stealth and access, the ultralight Approach redefines the limits of where a boat can take you.

What this boat offers:

Purpose-built for stealth, the Approach micro-rafts combine smaller tubes with a thick drop-stitch floor insert to enhance buoyancy, letting it draft in really skinny water.
Ultra-lightweight design for easy transport. All Approach Rafts can fit in a standard truck bed or atop a Jeep or SUV.
Whitewater-engineered for ultimate durability with welded seam tube construction and rugged PVC materials plus bottom and top wear patches.
4" drop-stitch floor with a slip-resistant foam pad provides superior traction and grip when wet, reduces weight by eliminating casting platforms and protects the floor from grit and basic wear and tear.
Adjustable Slot Rail engineering creates a modular frame that easily adjusts to keep anglers comfortable and the boat balanced for superior rowing performance.
Ten D-rings provide tie-down points for a frame or gear.
Three main air chambers plus the drop-stitch floor insert keep you afloat in the event of a puncture.
Approach Dry Box seat platform provides convenient external trays and internal waterproof storage compartments keeping gear dry, organized, and eliminating tripping hazards.
A Rower Seat can attach to the Approach Dry Box for added rowing comfort. (Seat not included.)
Internal anchor system easily controlled from the rower's seat keeps anchor line away from anglers and gear. Includes 3/8" anchor line.
Rower’s Package (sold separately) also includes a 2:1 assist pulley, making retrieving anchors an effortless task, plus an 14 lb. Tornado anchor.
Features high-quality Leafield™ C7 Inflation valves and six self-fabric handles.
5-year retail warranty, 3-year commercial.

Boats & Rafts FAQ

Q: What types of boats and rafts do you offer?
A: Drift Outfitters stocks a selection of fishing-ready rafts and float boats designed with anglers in mind. You’ll find models for single, tandem, and three person use, with features such as reinforced floors, rod holders, and stable frames to fish comfortably on rivers and lakes.

Q: How do I choose the right raft size and style for fly fishing?
A: Consider how many anglers you’ll carry and the water type you’ll fish (rivers vs lakes). Single-person rafts offer easy back-county access, while tandem or multi-person models provide space and stability for casting and gear. Look for features like high load capacity and good balance.

Q: Are rafts easy to transport and set up?
A: Yes — inflatable rafts pack down compactly and are relatively easy to transport in a vehicle. Most models inflate quickly with a pump and include attachment points to secure gear and accessories before heading out on the water. Rafts with frames such as NRS models are light and many can be car topped, put in a truck bed, or pulled on a lightweight trailer.

Q: Which brands of boats and rafts do you carry?
A: Drift Outfitters features raft models from trusted outdoor brands such as NRS (Slipstream, Oxbow, Approach series) and Watermaster (Kodiak, Grizzly, Bruin). These brands are well-known in the fly fishing community for durability and performance.

Q: What accessories come with or are recommended for rafts?
A: Many raft packages include or recommend extras like pumps, repair kits, oars, anchor systems, and safety gear. Upgrading with gear like rod holders or motor mounts can enhance your fishing experience on the water.

Q: How should I care for my raft?
A: Rinse with fresh water after each trip. Dry completely before storing to prevent mildew or damage. Patch any small leaks promptly and store it loosely in a cool, dry place.

When Canada Post lost my package, the guys at Drift Outfitters honored the sale and sent me a new order the next day. It's nice to deal with a company that has great customer service.

Roberto Cornice

Drift is my go to spot for all my fly fishing needs. Super friendly and helpful staff that always steer you in the right direction. Super fast shipping and great prices too.

Nick Lucas

Best fly shop around! Great group of people and they have the best selection of gear! All the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and they do tons of awesome stuff for the community. This shop is a great resource for all anglers in southern Ontario. 10/10 will shop again

Liam McGee

Always get good service from the guys at the shop especially Chris…he is a pro….inventory is the best I have seen I. Any speciality fly shop which is rare in a single fly shop…support Canadian business /highly recommend

Abbas Fadhil Adam

Dope fly shop, crazy selection of flies including big topwater bass flies of all sorts, and big pike flies which are pretty hard to find in person. Chill staff, loads of inventory. I make a point to stop here every time I'm in Toronto!

Ryan Dawsone

This is the best fly fishing store I have frequented in my 30 year fly fishing experience. The owner Rob, store manager Chris and the rest of the team are very knowledgeable about products and local fly fishing locations. They will guide you towards best products for your needs, and will not try to upsell if a lower priced option is better for you...

Simon Chapman

If you are in the GTA Drift is the only fly shop you need. They have an insane amount of quality tying products, packs, waders, boots, rods and reels. They also have the best staff w/ a staggering knowledge base.
