White Water Boats
Rafting outfitters have been turning to D.I.B. for over 30 years for rafts that can be used season after season with no problems. Our whitewater boats are designed to be affordable, durable and safe.
Demaree Inflatable River Boats are fabricated from uncured, neoprene-coated nylon fabrics. After assembly, we cure the boat as a unit under pressure at elevated temperatures to produce an integral product. All the fabric coatings, tapes, cements and moldings are chemically matched to yield cohesive bonding when the boat is cured.
Some standard features on all Demaree Inflatable Boats include:
- Machined aluminum valves
- fully taped seams (inside and out)
- Gum chafe strips on the bottom
- Stainless steel “D” rings for lifting or tying.

Personal Paddle Boat
P.P.B.’s are a terrific boat when a full size raft is just a little bit too much. Light, stable, highly maneuverable, and the perfect size for one or two people, the P.P.B. is a premiere white water boat.
The P.P.B. has four individual chambers. Two pontoons on the outside and two smaller cross tubes. The center is above water and set deep in the boat and all P.P.B.’s are self bailing. White water outfitters use P.P.B.’s for customer rentals and their guides use them for hauling gear, and even safety boating.
We can vulcanize your company’s name, logo, or fleet number on the side of the boat for permanent identification.
