Raft
A whitewater raft is an inflatable boat made of fabric, plastic, or rubber. It’s generally navigated by 2 - 6 or more persons. Rafts are either oar-rigged, with one person manning the oars and the others along for the ride, or paddle-rigged, with the entire crew working as a team to propel the boat. These options make it possible for those of varying skills and physical abilities to enjoy a rafting adventure. All aboard must know how to swim.

A raft has plenty of room for larger groups and cargo, making it the ideal multi-day adventure option.

More buoyant and stable but less maneuverable than a kayak (especially for the oar-rigged model), the raft requires teamwork for successful navigation. If not self-bailing, one person is needed just to bail water from this boat!

Cataraft
The cataraft is a boat with two inflatable pontoons (floats) connected by a frame. It has the capacity to seat 1 - 2 persons. With the buoyancy of a raft and the maneuverability of a kayak, it needs no bailing. Cargo space is limited.
