“Our family purchased two Rio Craft rafts, oars, and a variety of accessories over the past 18 months. We have already logged a ton of river miles on our boats. We are extremely impressed with the quality, durability and performance. Powder coating is excellent and so are the color options. In addition, Joe is TOP NOTCH to deal with. Fantastic communication, fair pricing and super FAST shipping. I will continually recommend only Rio Craft. We truly appreciate this Colorado company and amazing customer service. Thank you again!”

Responds and tracks amazingly for its size
“Despite its smaller size, the 10.5’ Colorado allows for multi day trips if you pack light. For whitewater days, installing additional thwarts on the raft allows up to three more people join in the fun. This boat responds and tracks amazingly for its size. The high bow allows you to resurface after diving, ensuring a smooth ride from class 2 to class 5.”

Best boats in the business
“The Rio Craft Colorado is one smooth floating boat. She handles great in whitewater and turns on a dime. The drop-stitch floor makes this boat a stable fishing platform. Excellent service and the best boats in the business.”

Never have a balance issue
“These boats maneuver and track well! It's hard to beat the the maneuverability of the 10.5ft raft. The flooring was excellent, too! You will never have a balance issue. I fish/guide many days on various streams, and these Rio Craft boats are exactly what you need to have a successful day on the water.“

Couldn't be more stoked
“Our old raft provided us with years of great memories, but it was a lumbering pig. My Rio Craft Colorado is so much easier it was to row. It feels responsive and nimble, looks sexy, and the drop stitch floor allows me to easily fish and float. I couldn't be more stoked about this boat!”

Love my new 14ft Rio Craft Colorado
“Ran Westwater Canyon and was very pleased with it! Held up great, feels super durable and all around a great whitewater boat, tracks well, and it is clear lots of thought was put into the design. Highly recommend this craft and the competitive warranty gives you long term peace of mind!
