SOTAR Argo

The mesh floor is designed specifically for high-volume water drainage, which keeps the raft lighter and more responsive in technical whitewater. While it offers superior traction and rapid water evacuation, it does not provide the same rigid, flat standing platform as an I-beam floor.

Yes, despite its compact 12-foot length, the Argo is engineered with a spacious interior that accommodates gear for multi-day adventures. However, because of its size, you will need to pack efficiently to balance the load properly for overnight excursions.

Absolutely. The Argo is fully compatible with simple row frames, making it a versatile choice if you prefer rowing over paddling. Its 21-inch tube diameter provides a stable base for standard frame setups.

The Argo thrives in steep, technical creeks and high-volume rivers where maneuverability is critical. Its responsive handling and lightweight build make it an ideal choice for paddlers navigating complex, tight lines rather than just floating wide, calm rivers.

This material is an industry standard for high-performance whitewater rafts, offering excellent abrasion resistance and tear strength. It is built to withstand the rigors of rocky riverbeds and technical navigation while remaining light enough for easy transport.

While the Argo can accommodate up to 4 persons, it is most comfortable and performant with a crew of 2 to 3. If you are planning to carry significant overnight gear, a 2-person crew is recommended to maintain optimal handling and load balance.
