Since the days of the military surplus 10-man rubber rafts and bridge buillding pontoons of the 1940s, adopted and adapted for use on western rivers by early rafting enthusiasts, inflatable raft technology has come a long way. Our whitewater rafts of today have been developed and built in the USA specifically for our industry using the latest materials.

Our 18-foot oar-powered rafts are rowed by your guides and are used on all Utah river rafting trips, as well as on the Grand Canyon oar trips. They carry 4 to 6 passengers, your guide, and all gear and food.

Our motorized rafts range in size from 17-foot "mini-snout" boats to 35- foot pontoon rafts. These inflatable boats with rigid aluminum frames are used on the Grand Canyon and Cataract Canyon motorized trips. They can carry 6 to 12 guests and all of our gear and food. For most trips we make use of quiet and less-polluting four stroke outboard technology.

Moki Mac has added several wooden dories to our flotilla of whitewater craft. The use of wooden boats on western rivers can be traced back 135 years to early regional exploreres such as J.W. Powell, W.B. Stanton, N. Galloway and the Kolb brothers. Recreationally, this beautiful style of boat has been used since the 1940s, specifically on the Green, Colorado and San Juan rivers. Our dories are 17 feet long, 6 feet wide and can carry up to three passengers.

The one- or two-man inflatable kayaks that we bring along on some of our trips add an increased level of participation for the adventurous!
