Inflatable Kayak Trips by Outfitters

Using an outfitter is a great option for an inflatable kayak trip. Outfitters provide the gear, local information and various levels of add-on services. Depending on the river or body of water, you can go on a guide-assisted trip or rent the equipment and go on your own.

Outfitters are particularly great for the following situations...
1. You are new to the sport. It's a great way to try it out in a safe and professional environment.
2. You want to try a new boat.
3. You want to try bigger water than you are comfortable doing alone. Outfitters are usually the experts on the water on which they operate.

The French Broad River - The French Broad River is a free flowing river. At higher water levels, outfitters use mostly rafts. At lower water levels, they use both rafts and inflatable kayaks.
