Rafts, Duckies, Fishing Rafts & Drift Boat Rentals

8200 has a complete line of top quality inflatables including rafts, catarafts, fishing rafts w/frame, duckies and inner tubes for your self-guided float down the Rio Grande.  We have rafts ranging from 12’ to 14’ 6” long that can handle up to 10 people.  Duckies (inflatable kayaks) are available in both single seat and tandem for your white water adventures. Most of the family white water floats are done using paddles, however for those that prefer the use of oars we do have day frames with oars.  The rafting crew at 8200 are all very experienced oarsmen and will instruct you on the proper use of your vessel and equipment provided. Joel Condren, the owner of 8200 has more than 12,000 miles floating the Rio, and spends more time on the river than any one around.  The floats generally last 4 hrs, and encompass anywhere from 8-14 miles of river.  The sections floated include rapids from very mild class I, to a slightly more aggressive float w/class II rapids. Transportation to and from the river is provided for all white water trips.  PFD's are included in trip price. There are two trips daily departing at 9:00 am and 11:00 am.

All fishing rafts include the use of a trailer allowing you to tow the raft to any section you would like to fish.  The fishing rafts include a standard fishing frame and oars.

8200 also offers Hyde and Clackacraft Drift Boats for rent.  Only by special approval from ownership, this offered on a case-by-case scenario and the customer must prove that he/she has rowing experience in a dory.
