"Thank you for a very well organized trip.  The high quality gear, intelligent systems and food are all top notch.  We had a great put-in, due in large part to our PRO Advisor, Beth's expert guidance and patience.  She is efficient, positive, knowledgeable, has a great attitude and solid information - we couldn't imagine it going better."

What is the Painless Private?

What is the Painless Private?

The Painless Private is the complete integration of all our services.

Your trip will be outfitted with PRO's fine equipment.  You only pay for the gear you choose.  Select your boats from our well maintained fleet of PRO Rigs.  You're responsible for bringing your personal gear and any gear you decline to rent.

Our Menu Plan lets you select meals from our delicious and diverse fare.  Choose a river-tested Sample Menu to save time.  Recipes and complete how-to's allow even the most novice cook to prepare meals. Your food cost is based on your specific menu selections, so you can control how much or how little you spend on food. 

We provide round-trip shuttles for your group and gear.  Our vans and five-ton trucks with lift gates make for a smooth, comfortable launch and take-out.  For safety's sake, after driving these highways for decades, we do not use roof racks or pull trailers.  Our drivers are safe, courteous and capable.

PRO Advisor

One of PRO's crew sets you up for success: helping organize your gear and rig your boats, demonstrating the use of PRO equipment, staying overnight with a shuttle vehicle and assists with the NPS Ranger check-out.

"I want to thank you for the key role PRO played in our GC trip in July.  I've heard for years that there really is only one quality choice for getting outfitted, and now I'm a believer too.  My expectations were pretty high, but  your folks, equipment, food and service were fantastic."
