SOTAR Tyee
Best durable raft for serious river adventurers.
This is the rare raft that actually handles like a sports car while still hauling enough gear for a week in the canyon. It sacrifices the massive cargo capacity of a dedicated expedition barge, but you gain the agility needed to thread technical lines that would leave larger boats stranded.
