This 11’ raft strikes the perfect balance between nimble solo trips and dynamic tandem runs, ready for whatever the river throws at you.

The Lance is durable, portable, and light enough to hike into remote put-ins or shoulder around shallow, bony rapids. Its continuous curve design delivers intuitive control—whether you're boofing over big holes, cruising through boulder-choked canyons, or snapping into tight eddies on the fly.

Some rapids are just better shared. So grab your favorite adventure partner, take that paddle stroke, and send it!

FAQs

Also check out our GENERAL FAQs page to learn more.

What are "in-stock" rafts, catarafts and inflatable kayaks?

Most of our boats are manufactured after the order is placed. In-stock boats have already been manufactured, and are ready to purchase in our retail store, or online.

Can I still make customizations to an in-stock boat?

Yes! In most cases you still have the option for additions such as: top chafe, bottom chafe, a bottom wrap, extra hardware (d-rings), or custom logos.

Are these damaged / repaired boats?

Our standard in-stock boats are not damaged. If we have any boats that have been repaired they would be available to purchase through the factory seconds page. On the factory seconds page there may be repaired boats, slightly used boats, or other boats that we do not deem "factory firsts" as they come through the production line.

What does your warranty cover?

We provide a limited warranty on our rafts, catarafts, tubes, and inflatable kayaks, covering up to 10 years for recreational use and 6 years for commercial use.
