✅ Yes! But please verify with us first. If you have your own raft, kayak, or river gear, we’re happy to work with you—just make sure it meets safety and regulations. Can I Bring My Own Lifejacket? Short answer: No… but maybe. 🚫 Water ski or recreational life jackets WILL NOT work. These are: ❌ Not designed for whitewater ❌ Lack proper buoyancy for swift currents ❌ Break easily under stress ❌ Come off too easily during rescues ✅ If you have a whitewater PFD, bring it along, and our guides will inspect it to ensure it meets safety standards before allowing its use. Bringing Your Own Kayak or Raft? If you have kayaking or rowing experience, reach out to us! 🚨 Important Note: Unlicensed guides CANNOT carry paying passengers on a commercial trip without a licensed guide on the boat. These are federal waters, and are actively patrolled to enforce regulations. Safety and compliance are our top priorities—let’s make sure your adventure is both fun and legal! 🚣‍♂️🔥

No, we do not rent rafts to youth groups. Due to BLM policies and the policies of many church, scout, and youth organizations, all youth groups must raft under our permits, licenses, and insurance. In the past, we rented boats to these groups, but due to numerous issues—including close calls—we no longer offer raft rentals for youth groups. However, we can help you! We specialize in large group rafting experiences and have worked with many churches, Scout troops, and youth organizations to provide: Professional guides for a safe and fun experience Delicious meals so you can focus on the adventure Large group accommodations with flexible options In many cases, we’ve provided group experiences that are just as affordable—if not better—than renting, with less stress and more fun for group leaders.
