SOAR Inflatable Canoes
 

SOAR inflatable canoes are amazing expedition-grade inflatable canoes designed to run Class I - IV whitewater and carry plenty of gear for multi-day wilderness river trips anywhere in the world. These versatile boats are used as fly-in fishing or hunting craft, dive platforms, yacht tenders and rescue boats. They make stable boats for families with children paddling smaller rivers and streams, and they're "dog friendly." They are portable and can be transported by car, airplane, boat, train or pack animal. You can easily store your SOAR inflatable in a closet, so you don't need a garage or large storage space. When you reach the water, inflate the floor and side tubes, attach the seats, and launch. Typical setup time is less than 15 minutes.

SOAR paddlers use traditional canoe paddles or double-bladed kayak paddles. In mild conditions, paddlers sit on the seats and paddle from a sitting position; in whitewater, SOAR paddlers kneel on the comfortable 4-inch thick floor to lower their center of gravity and brace their knees against the side tubes. The self-bailing feature allows SOAR canoes to run significant rapids, and their huge cargo capacities make them ideal for multi-day river trips. SOAR canoes are designed for serious expedition use, but they're equally at home on your local Class I or II river. Check out a SOAR 12 in action: SOAR surfing.

All SOAR canoes are built to rugged specifications. The tubes and top of the floor are made of 840-denier nylon coated with 30-oz. Hypalon; the bottom of the floor is 840-denier nylon coated with 36-oz. neoprene. This material is tough. A unique feature of all SOAR Inflatables are the sturdy grommet strips that run the length of the boat. These strips allow the seats to be placed anywhere along the hull and for gear to be quickly and securely attached in multiple configurations. There are two 12-inch diameter side tubes and a 4-inch inflatable floor.

SOAR canoes come in blue and have a 5-year warranty. We deliver all SOAR canoes with two seats, a double action hand pump, straps to keep your canoe tightly rolled, and a repair kit. All other accessories are optional (see SOAR Accessories).

We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee or we will refund the purchase price of the boat (less shipping). Any boat returned to SOAR for refund must be received in like-new condition.
