★★★★★ 5/5
“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!”

Can handle anything the river throws at it
“RioCraft makes a stable, easy rowing boat that tracks well, turns on a dime, and can put the fisherman anywhere they want to be on the river. Despite its narrow profile, the Madison is spacious, sturdy, and comfortable. It may look fishy, and it is. The Madison by RioCraft meets the fisherman's needs and can handle anything the river throws at it.“

Quick to respond
“The Madison is quick to respond, and effortless to hold in steady current. While tracking well, it easily maintains position allowing the rower time to forecast the next piece of water.”
