Orvis Approach 120 Fishing Raft Package
Built for stealth and precision, the Orvis Approach 120 delivers access where bigger rigs can’t. Designed for two anglers and a rower, this ultra-durable micro raft features a modular frame, flexible storage, and a sleek, efficient raft.

- Winner of the 2026 Fly Fishing Show Consumers Choice Awards—Best Boat/Personal Watercraft.
- Purpose-built for stealth, the Approach rafts combine smaller tubes with a thick drop-stitch floor insert to enhance buoyancy, letting it draft in really skinny water.
- 6" 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.
- Ultra-lightweight design for easy transport. All Approach Rafts can fit in a standard truck bed or atop a jeep or SUV.
- Engineered for ultimate durability with welded seam tube construction and rugged PVC materials, plus bottom and top wear patches.
- 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.
- The Approach Dry Box seat platform provides convenient external trays and an internal waterproof storage compartment, keeping gear dry and organized and reducing trip hazards.
- Molded Thigh Hooks in the bow and stern provide additional support for anglers and feature cup holders and storage trays.
- Internal anchor system with NRS Aluminum Cam Cleat is easily controlled from the rower’s seat and keeps anchor line away from anglers and gear. Includes 3/8" anchor line.
- Integrated stern-mounted NRS Approach Cargo Rack provides additional storage and tie-down solutions.
- Guide Package (sold separately) includes a 2:1 assist pulley, making retrieving anchors an effortless task, plus a 24 lbs. Tornado anchor.
