SOTAR SL Liquid Raft

The diminishing tube design tapers the diameter of the tubes toward the bow and stern. This reduces the raft's overall surface area in the water, which significantly improves tracking and allows for much sharper, more responsive turns in technical whitewater.

A drop-stitch floor inflates to a much higher pressure than a traditional I-beam floor, creating a rigid, board-like surface. This rigidity provides better stability for standing and allows the raft to punch through waves and holes with less flex, resulting in a more efficient ride.

With a 14-foot length and a maximum load capacity of 1,516 lbs, this raft is well-suited for multi-day expeditions. It comfortably accommodates up to 8 people, though for overnight trips, you will likely want to reduce the passenger count to make room for camping gear and supplies.

Yes, the raft is fully compatible with standard oar frames. The 10 D-rings provided offer ample attachment points to secure your frame firmly for a versatile rowing setup.

The seven independent air chambers are a critical safety feature. If one chamber were to be punctured or fail during a run, the remaining six chambers retain enough buoyancy to keep the raft afloat and maneuverable, providing a significant safety margin in demanding river environments.
