Rafts

Rafts

Whitewater rafting is in our DNA. We run trips on the Winnipesaukee River and sell the boats we trust, including self-bailing rafts from Rocky Mountain Rafts and NRS, Star paddle catarafts, drop-stitch rafts, rescue boats and river tubes.

How to choose:

  • Length: 9.5–12 ft for technical rivers and small crews; 13–14 ft for bigger water, gear hauling and larger groups.
  • Self-bailing floors drain water automatically, which is standard for whitewater.
  • Catarafts are fast and maneuverable and great for fishing and multi-day trips.
  • Material: heavier fabric lasts longer on rocky New England rivers.

Our guides can help you choose size, floor style and frame setup for private trips, guiding or rescue work. We also sell oars, frames and repair supplies. Buy in store in Franklin, NH or online.
