The Tango is a full-sized, two-person kayak style packraft for speed and comfort on lakes, coastal areas, and rivers up to class II. Its our fastest tandem model and features a low profile hull with a full length inflatable floor. The rear paddler sits on a lace in seat and has an inflatable backrest for support. The front paddler has an inflatable seat and backrest. Both paddlers have ample leg room for kayak style paddling.
Due to the lower volume tubes and to maximize speed, the Tango is not available in a self bailing configuration. So its great for flat water rivers and protected lakes and coastal areas, but not recommended for significant whitewater. Its ideal for two adults or paddling with an older child who can do their own paddling and wants to stretch out their legs. The extra speed also makes it an ideal adventure racing packraft. We prefer the Ranger and Forager for families with dogs and small children.
Sizing and Specifications
*Weight includes all components except inflation bag, repair kit, and internal dry bags for Cargo Fly.
**Packed size is a reference measurement based on folding each lengthwise edge of the boat to the center and rolling from the bow. There are many other methods of rolling and folding the boats that will result in a different packed size that may be more or less efficient for packing depending on the situation.
***Max Capacity is the maximum total weight (paddlers and cargo) that the boat can reasonably carry in flatwater under ideal conditions. Actual capacity for any given trip will vary widely based on the paddler’s skill and water conditions. Please review our weight carrying capacity guide for further details.
Zipper maintenance required for this raft!
While the internal storage/cargo fly is a game changer, lack of maintenance can cause major problems. Rather than eliminate this option from all our products, we elected to create a very strict secondary rental agreement for rafts with internal storage/cargo fly. There is a minimum $50 cleaning fee if the agreement is not followed. Please review and e-sign the agreement prior to checking out. Only one of these agreements needs to be signed per order regardless of the number of internal storage rafts rented under a single order (unlike the basic rental agreement/waiver that is required for each person using rental equipment rented from us). We will follow-up with you if we are missing any needed waivers.
Shipping
Shipping is auto calculated at check out for the 1st raft, however, shipping for a 2nd identical raft must be added on in the product add-ons section (if you are getting several different types of rafts shipping should auto-calculate at checkout accurately without add-ons). Round trip shipping for 2-person rafts is $50/1 raft and $65/2 rafts for rafts shipped in Montana. Rafts shipped outside of Montana start at $60/1 raft and go up from there depending on the shipping time and number of rafts. If shipping is incorrect at checkout, your card will be refunded/charged accordingly. Please book with us directly (phone or email) if you need more than 2 2-person rafts. Please see shipping rate chart in FAQ for more info.
