PRODUCT INFORMATION

Compact Expedition Power

The 12’6” SOTAR Legend Cataraft is a compact force of nature, designed for demanding runs and shorter river expeditions. Weighing just 59 lbs., it combines the nimbleness of a playboat with the stability and carrying capacity needed for overnight trips. This cataraft is ideal for rowers tackling steep, technical whitewater who don’t want to compromise on maneuverability.

Responsive Design for Technical Terrain

With the agility to weave through boulder gardens and the durability to handle big drops, the 12’6” Legend thrives in aggressive water. Its balanced construction makes it suitable for both day play and light overnighters. Whether you're bombing through Class IV rapids or scouting remote canyons, this cataraft responds instantly and holds its line under pressure.

Built for the Whitewater Minimalist

If you're an angler, adventurer, or lightweight expedition paddler, the 12’6” Legend gives you everything you need—and nothing you don’t. Its efficient design is built to last, using SOTAR’s signature materials and craftsmanship. For rowers who want serious cataraft performance in a compact footprint, the 12’6” Legend is a perfect match.
