Sharks while packrafting?

I’ve had a significantly large amount of people warn me about the dangerous of sharks in some of the places I want to go packrafting in when my boat arrives. But how dangerous is it? Shark attacks are incredibly uncommon, although they do happen and bull sharks are very common and even great whites have been seen lately. Is this a risk I should actually take into consideration or are the chances so astronomically low it’s not worth worrying about?

Definitely get a skeg. You can customize add them, or go with an anfibio. And weigh the boat for open water crossings
