Over the years we have vetted most of the industry engineering techniques for inflatables. What we have pioneered and championed is a material that will slip over rocks, hold up to decades of abuse, and quite possibly never require a patch. Our rafts are made from Lexatron, our 40 oz. 100% urethane material with a 3000 denier base fabric that is arguably the toughest in the industry.
How many Inflatable Kayaks have you owned in your lifetime? I know when I was a young I went through one each and every season. It wasn’t uncommon to have more patches than original material; NOT anymore! SOTAR’s meticulous engineering and design focusing on durability and performance combine to create a whitewater inflatable kayak like no other.
There's a reason why you see more SOTAR catarafts on the river than any other manufacture; our relentless pursuit for perfection. Building boats since 1980 has allowed our research and design to develop whitewater rafting cats for each and every use. Whether you're looking for a fishing vessel or an R1 to launch off waterfalls we have what you're looking for.
All SOTAR Inflatables are custom designed and manufactured one at a time. No other Inflatables are made with such personal care and attention. You are a name, not a number; each employee knows your name and stands behind their workmanship.

Sotar rafts are superior in design, durability, air retention,and tracking. I own 2 sotars currently, one 15 foot raft and one 12.6 foot cataraft. One very satisfied customer.

My father shared the river and the joy of rafting with me. I have been sharing it with my son (now 15 years old). We will be rafting in our Sotar until we can no longer make the pull!
