What do you need for your river trip? A rigged raft? A regulation firepan, spare lifejackets? A few extra waterproof bags? Just one, single-blade paddle? No problem!The PRO Rig is the ticket if you need a completely outfitted boat. It's ready to load and row, complete with frames, cooler, a table, oars and spares, repair kit and more. Choose your rig from our wide selection of raft types. We'll reduce your boat rental rate if you get a shuttle and/or foodpack from PRO, or opt for the Painless Private.
The
equipment we offer is of the highest quality. Our boats are set up to maximize
your safety, comfort, and convenience. PRO fabricated frames and dry boxes are
used in the Grand Canyon by the majority of commercial outfitters as well as the
National Park Service. Because loading and unloading this frame system is so
easy, it saves you time and allows less experienced members of your party to
jump right in and give a hand.
Our rental rates are for five days minimum. Let us know if there is an item not listed here that you need; we may have one, or know where you can get one.
PRO Rig
Each PRO rig includes the following: boat, main frame with floorboard, front drop bag, rear frame with drop bag, folding camp table, cooler, cooler cover, hatch or table cover, four oars, your choice of rowing setup: (oarlocks, rites or thole pins), 34 cam buckle straps, bowline, low-volume pump, bailing buckets & repair kit. PRO's frames are aluminum with diamond plate decking. Download a pdf copy of the PRO Raft Rigging Primer here.
Additional items that may be rented with a boat are: side boxes, water jug, throwable cushion, throwbag, first aid kit and sand stake. Please bring or request to rent the appropriate additional gear.
