WHY CHOOSE SOTAR?
THE SAME REASON EVERYONE DOES.
WE MAKE OUR PRODUCTS FROM THE HIGHEST QUALITY MATERIAL IN THE INDUSTRY

REZCOAT URETHANE
We build our boats out of Rezcoat fabric, a 100% urethane-coated material bonded to a heavy-duty (1,500–3,000 denier) base cloth. This industry-leading fabric allows for welded seams (no glue), and delivers exceptional durability, abrasion resistance, and UV protection.
As a consequence, our inflatables are the absolute strongest in the industry.
HIGH QUALITY AND INNOVATION
We named our company SOTAR, short for State-Of-The-Art Rafts, to serve as a constant reminder, inspiration and commitment to prosue excellence every product that we make. This name drives us to not only build the highest quality rafts available, but to relentlessly innovate our products, consistently raising industry standards and contributing significantly to the advancement of paddle sports.
Every SOTAR boat is a testament to this philosophy.
Our dedication ensures that whether you're a seasoned outfitter or an avid whitewater enthusiast, you're getting a performance-driven vessel designed to push the boundaries of what's possible on the river.
GUIDING THE INDUSTRY
WE WERE AMONG THE FIRST TO DO ALL OF IT.
NATURALLY WE MADE INNOVATIONS.

THERMO WELDING
SOTAR began thermo-welding seams after the formulated Urethane / Rezcoat boat fabric was perfected, allowing for welded seams which eliminated the need for glue in construction and radically improved the inflatables durability and longevity.

SELF BAILING FLOORS
SOTAR designed and built the first self-bailing floor - a performance innovation that has since become a industry standard. Self-bailing rafts automatically drain water through built-in floor vents, keeping the boat lighter, more responsive, and safer in whitewater conditions.

CURVED INFLATABLE TUBING
SOTAR created the first continuous curve cataraft tubes on the market. This construction innovation increased structural integrity, simplified rigging, improved load distribution and offered smoother hydrodynamics on the water.

SOLID WORKS DESIGN
SOTAR was the first to bring Computer-Aided Design (CAD) into the world of inflatable whitewater boats, allowing for precise modeling, stress testing, and performance optimization before a single piece of material was cut.

EXCLUSIVE RAFT MATERIAL
Our competitors use raft construction materials (rubber, urethane coatings, PVC, Hypalon, acrylic, etc) that simply cannot endure the stress tests that ours can.
In our pursuit to make only the best quality inflatables on the market, SOTAR developed and perfected a lightweight heavy duty Urethane / Rezcoat boat fabric material that is used exclusively on SOTAR products for over 40 years.
