D Series 130 Raft

Striking a balance between stability and maneuverability, the AIRE D Series 130 Raft is a nimble thirteen-footer ideal for a paddle team and suitable for occasional rigging with a frame when the flows are right. Its diminished tube design keeps the boat agile and puts us up close and personal with the water for a bit more action and control when running rapids. The 130D sits relatively wide and has some bow and stern rocker to help keep it quick and responsive on the water, so we can easily maneuver through tight spots.

As is the case with all AIRE boats, the 130D is made in Idaho using AIRE's tried and true construction process, which puts an emphasis on durability for long-lasting performance. The 130D is composed of five air chambers, which are made of a welded urethane material and protected by a rugged 1670D PVC outer shell. The air chambers and AIRE's Regular Floor Pocket (RFP) construction help keep this boat rigid, buoyant, and well-ballasted, which improves tracking and also helps it stick to the water to help prevent flipping in bigger rapids.
