BE PREPARED FOR THE RIVER
WHAT SHOULD I BRING?
Bringing the right gear on a river trip is essential for staying safe, comfortable, and prepared for anything the water or weather may throw your way.
CASUAL SUMMER DAY TRIPS
The best things to pack before you pick up your rental... unless you wanna buy them last minute at our at our gear store!
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?
You may request to cancel your reservation for a full refund up to 72 hours before the date and time of the event. This will be issued as a Gift Certificate. Cancellation requests made after 72 hours of the reservation may not receive a refund. When you make this reservation, you agree to these terms.
I’ve been rowing a SOTAR since 1997 as a professional guide and outfitter. Best boat on the market, hands down.
They’ve taken care of me and my boats always. Simple choice.
We absolutely LOVE our new raft and are so excited to get on the water. We couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of craftsmanship and care that went into making our vision come to life!
Thank you so much to everyone who made it possible.
