RIVER READY
EFFORTLESS ROWING. Narrow continuous curve design rows light, making it one of the easiest rafts you’ll ever oar.
PRECISION TRACKING. Unique floor design holds a line better than any other river raft on the market.
STEALTH WIDTH. Narrow footprint allows for tight approaches and smooth navigation in low, bony water.
FISHING ADVANTAGE. Long flat mid-section keeps anglers separated and balanced for all-day casting comfort.
ALL-SEASON VERSATILITY. Built tough to handle big water yet nimble enough for skinny late-season runs.
ROCKERED FLOOR. Exclusive rocker shaped drop-stitch floor punches through waves, stays lively under oar, and keeps you in command when the river gets pushy.
THWART MOUNTS. Three reinforced attachment locations for adding thwarts.
SNAG-FREE RIGGING. Clean lines, recessed fittings, and strategic placement of handles and valves reduce snagging and make loading smooth.
TWO SIZES. 13'6" for small technical rivers and 14'6" for larger fishing or multi-day setups.
BUILT TOUGH
HEAVY DUTY PVC. Double thick 3000 denier 50 oz per yard PVC on tubes, bottom chafe, and both sides of the floor. A step above the rest.
ROUNDED CORNERS. Every corner is shaped to reduce wear.
WELDED SEAMS. Precision welded for long-term performance and strength.
DROP-STITCH FLOOR. Ultra-rigid construction delivers a rock-solid, level platform for confident footing and precise response under load.
HORSESHOE CHAFE STRIPS. Full side and rear layered PVC reinforcement.
SMART RIGGING. Strategically located grab handles, chafe strips, and valves to reduce snagging, make loading easier, and minimize wear.
RUGGED HARDWARE. Mega-reinforced, sun-protected grab handles and valves built to last season after season.
GUIDE DESIGNED. Built for hard use and harder play.
★★★★★ 5/5
The first time I sat in a Rio Craft, I knew it was the raft for me. From the rubber to the frame and accessories, every detail is thoughtfully designed and built to perform. As a Texas fly fishing guide, I get constant compliments from clients and fellow guides on the quality and performance of my Rio Craft. It’s tough, looks great on the water, and is hands down the best raft for Texas rivers. I won’t guide out of anything else.

“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!”

The Teton = Work Horse
I purchased two 13.5’ Teton rafts this summer to accommodate my growing guide service in Western Mass. Not only are these rafts aesthetically pleasing, but they are extremely functional in all river conditions. The Teton efficiently handles all water types with ease! It’s a rugged and durable raft which is just as important when spending over 200 days a year on the river winching up river banks in less than ideal locations. Which leads to another benefit of The Teton, multiple reinforced D-Rings. Being able to winch from different points on the raft helps accommodate the different angles of take outs which reduces unnecessary wear from friction when winching out! If you’re looking for an inflatable raft to turn into a fishing vessel that you can count on, The Teton is it! The drop stitch floor adds another level of comfort and function for anglers. The fact that these rafts come with thwarts makes for some pretty fun days off with family and friends! Thanks for making a great product Rio Craft!

The Teton is a fishing machine
I’ve been running super pumas for years and they have lots of great similarities to the Teton. It’s been my favorite raft to row so far, mainly because of how maneuverable and light they are. I guide on a shallow freestone river and the rocker of the boat allows you to run burly white water while keeping it floating high in those skinny technical fishing situations. It's hard to find another fishing raft out there that parallels the quality, price, and thoughtful design of the Teton.
