FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is included with a SOTAR rental?
Boat rentals include pfds (life jackets), paddles, and a dry bag with critical safety supplies. Other river gear are available as add-ons or separate rentals.
How long can I rent a SOTAR?
Boats can be rented for single-day, multi-day, or extended trips depending on availability. Rental pricing is based on the number of days reserved, not river time.
Do I need to reserve in advance? Do you require a deposit?
Yes. Reservations are strongly recommended, especially during peak season. Walk-in availability is not guaranteed. Call ahead if you need to schedule in less than 3 days.
Do you deliver rafts or provide shuttles?
Customers are responsible for transportation to and from the put-in and take-out locations. We do not provide river shuttles unless explicitly stated.
Do I need a trailer haul a inflatable boat?
Not necessarily. All of our rafts can be deflated and rolled to fit in your vehicle. However, trailers are recommended for large boats with fishing frames or if you want to just get in the water without the hassle of pumping the boat up.
What happens if the raft is damaged?
Normal wear is expected. Customers are responsible for damage beyond normal wear, including punctures, lost equipment, or misuse.
Can I cancel or change my reservation?
Cancellations and changes must be made within the stated cancellation window. Late cancellations or no-shows may be non-refundable.
