SOTAR Nugget

The Nugget 11 is purpose-built for technical whitewater, steep creeks, and narrow, dynamic river environments. Its compact 11-foot frame and responsive handling make it ideal for navigating tight chutes and complex rapids where maneuverability is more important than raw cargo capacity.

While it is technically possible, the Nugget 11 is designed primarily as a day-use or 'play' boat. With a 575-pound load capacity and a compact footprint, it is better suited for quick sessions or light-gear missions rather than heavy, multi-day expedition camping.

The 35oz REZCOAT urethane is exceptionally durable and abrasion-resistant, which is essential for the rocky, shallow creeks this boat is designed to navigate. It offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, ensuring the raft remains rugged without becoming unnecessarily heavy.

Yes, at 55 pounds, the Nugget 11 is significantly lighter than standard commercial rafts, making it much easier for one person to carry to remote put-ins or navigate around portages. It is a great choice if your river access involves a hike or difficult terrain.

The Nugget 11 is rated for 1-2 persons. While it can accommodate two paddlers, it is most agile and responsive when paddled solo or with a light second passenger, especially in technical water.
