SOTAR's ST and SL rafts inflatables are made from personally developed Rezcoat, which is a 40 oz.,100% urethane material with a 1500 denier base fabric that is defensively the toughest raft material in the industry.
Tested around the world, the ST series boat is stable, durable, and designed with traditional lines well known for distributing weight evenly. STs have a consistent tube diameter throughout the circumference of the boat. For years this has offered significant lift when exiting large hydraulics, a pretty dry ride, and when combined with our I-beam floor the ST has a very predictable level of tracking. The design works so well that we can’t stop building them. Sizes range from 10ft to 18ft to custom.
All ST Classic Rafts come standard with six carry handles, 10 outside 2” D-rings, two removable thwarts, self-bailing floors with a protective flap, a repair kit, and a heavy-duty boat bag.
The SL Raft has a small footprint on the water for effortless turning, making it fast and agile. It has an extended straight section and modified diminishing tubes in the bow and stern, creating increased internal space. You can use this space to accommodate additional gear and paddlers.
To make this series light its material is 35 oz per square yard.,100% urethane material with a 1500 denier base fabric. Affordable and lightweight, the Rogue Series combines the speed and tracking of a cataraft with the versatility of a raft. The Rogue material is specially formulated to slide over rocks, to make low-water rivers and creeking a breeze.
Our local Rogue River in southern Oregon inspired this raft series. We choose our favorite rapids on the Wild and Scenic Rogue River to give names to each raft size.
11' Nugget - 12' Argo - 13' Tyee - 14' Rainie
Affordable and lightweight, the Rogue Series combines the speed and tracking of a cataraft with the versatility of a raft. The Rogue material is specially formulated to slide over rocks, to make low-water rivers and creeking a breeze. It has a raised mesh floor which reduces the weight and allows for quick bailing. The integral thwart handle straps help hold the mesh floor tight while providing grab handles for those intense whitewater moments.
The diminishing tube diameter in the bow provides more internal space and gives a higher rake for riding over waves and bridging over holes. The stern maintains a larger tube diameter for extra buoyancy preventing the bow from being kicked up too high after big drops. This feature allows for more support in a stern guiding position. A liquid Lex top chafe is added on the straight sections of each raft, allowing grip for paddling or tube protection for a frame.
This unique raft makes the ultimate paddle boat for excursions to the hard-to-reach rivers and creeks you’ve set your heart on.

Designed by Blackfoot River Outfitters founder John Herzer and custom-built in the USA by SOTAR, the Blackfoot Strike is the ultimate fishing boat. J
The Blackfoot Strike represents 34 years of fly-fishing guide experience. It drafts as shallow as a drift boat, and its design makes it nimble enough for tight boulder-choked streams yet stable enough for significant whitewater.
The diminishing bow and stern maximize usable storage space. It has less than seven feet of tube on the water and a 19″ maximum tube diameter. The most notable advantage is evident in the asymmetrical design, which maintains the desirable aerodynamics and 360-degree visibility of a low profile. We increased the stern diameter to provide more flotation for a rear angler or gear.
ALL Blackfoot Strikes come standard with FOUR air chambers in the main outside tube and includes a10-year warranty. Other standard features include a welded I-beam floor, 10 outside d-rings and 6 carry handles, a patch kit, and a boat bag. Top chafe, thwarts, extra D-rings, and other options are available on request.
At 11 feet, the Micro Strike is easy and small enough for one person to lift and place on top of a small vehicle or in between the rear wheel wells of a utility truck. It can be used for fishing with a rower and additional angler in front with tractor seats. A lightweight modular frame includes oar towers for a rower. There’s room for a small cooler, fishing gear, and micro camping gear. Suggested Oars are 7' to 7.5' Sawyer Stealth Oars with Shoal or Asymmetrical Blades.
The Micro Strikes come standard with a welded I-beam floor, 6 outside d-rings, and 2 carry handles on the bow and stern, a patch kit, and a boat bag. Top chafe, frame, thwarts, extra D-rings, and other color options are available on request.
