SOTAR Strike Inflatable Fishing Raft
Description
The SOTAR Strike series represents the pinnacle of American-made inflatable fishing rafts, purpose-built for anglers who demand precision, durability, and access to waters that other boats simply cannot reach. Handcrafted in the USA by skilled craftsmen and river guides on Oregon's Rogue River, each Strike raft is made-to-order using 40oz REZCOAT Urethane material - one of the toughest fabrics in the industry. Whether you're threading tight boulder gardens, drifting shallow backcountry streams, or setting up camp for a multi-day float, the Strike series delivers a stable, responsive platform that keeps you focused on fishing.
Available in four sizes - 11'6", 12'6", 13'6", and 14'6" - the Strike lineup covers everything from nimble one-person day trips to spacious family floats and guided fishing expeditions. With a 5-chamber air system (including the floor), a self-bailing I-beam floor, and 10 D-rings plus 6 handles standard on every model, these rafts are rigged and ready for serious river use right out of the box. Extensive customization options let you build the exact raft your water and style demand.
Key Features
- 40oz REZCOAT Urethane Construction: Premium-grade urethane fabric resists abrasion, UV, and punctures - built to outlast years of hard river use.
- Self-Bailing I-Beam Floor: 6" thick drop floor with 6 I-beams (8 on the 14'6") allows water to drain automatically and provides a stable standing platform for fly fishing.
- 5 Independent Air Chambers: Includes side tubes, bow, stern, and floor - redundant inflation system keeps you safe if one chamber is compromised.
- High Load Capacity: Ranges from 1,215 lbs on the 11'6" up to 1,700 lbs on the 14'6", giving you room for gear, coolers, and fishing companions.
- 10 D-Rings + 6 Handles Standard: Includes 6 handle D-rings and 4 oval D-rings on every model - plenty of anchor points for frame rigging and gear tie-down.
- 3 Colors Per Boat Standard: Every Strike ships with a 3-color scheme; choose from 11 base colors including Teal, Orange, Green, Dark Blue, Red, Grey, and more.
- Responsive Oar Performance: Narrow beam and shallow draft allow precise boat placement - stop, pivot, and lateral ferry with minimal effort in technical current.
- Bow and Stern Rake Design: Angled bow and stern geometry sheds water quickly and improves tracking through fast-moving and variable river conditions.
- Handmade in the USA: Built by skilled craftsmen and river guides in a small family business on the Rogue River in Oregon - not factory mass-produced.
- 10-Year Limited Warranty: Backed by SOTAR's 10-year limited warranty for recreational use (6 years commercial) - one of the strongest in the industry.
Size Options & Which to Choose
- 11'6": The most compact and nimble model in the Strike lineup. At 72 lbs with a 32" interior width and 1,215 lb capacity, it's ideal for solo anglers or pairs who want maximum maneuverability on tight, low-flow rivers, boulder gardens, and small streams. Perfect for quick day trips and focused fishing missions where precise boat placement matters most.
- 12'6": A step up in length and capacity (1,320 lbs, 80 lbs), offering more platform for two anglers and a full day's gear while maintaining the agile handling the Strike series is known for. Best for anglers who want a lightweight, go-anywhere raft that handles technical water with confidence.
- 13'6": The most popular model in the lineup. At 95 lbs with a 35" interior width and 1,530 lb capacity, it's the sweet spot for 2-3 anglers seeking the ideal balance of stability, responsiveness, and versatility. Excels on small-to-mid-sized rivers and handles loaded gear trips without sacrificing performance.
- 14'6": The largest and most versatile Strike raft. At 105 lbs with a 38" interior width and 1,700 lb capacity, it's the go-to for guides, families, and anglers who need maximum space for multi-day floats, dry boxes, and extra crew. Transitions seamlessly between serious fishing setups and family float trips.

Why You'll Love It
SOTAR has been building professional-grade inflatable rafts on the Rogue River for decades, and the Strike series is the result of that deep expertise applied directly to the demands of serious river fishing. These rafts are trusted by fishing guides, outfitters, and die-hard fly anglers who push into remote, low-flow rivers that other watercraft can't handle. The 40oz REZCOAT Urethane construction isn't just tough - it's the kind of material that holds up season after season of hard use, gravel bar drags, and log jam squeezes without complaint. Every raft is handcrafted to order, meaning you get a boat built to your specs by people who actually fish the same rivers you do. Backed by a 10-year limited warranty and made entirely in the USA, the SOTAR Strike is a long-term investment in your time on the water - one that will perform reliably for years to come.

FAQ
How long does it take to receive my SOTAR Strike raft after ordering?
All SOTAR Strike rafts are made-to-order and built in queue at their facility on the Rogue River in Oregon. The current lead time is approximately 8 weeks from when your order is placed. If you need a raft sooner, contact SOTAR directly to check in-stock availability.
What customization options are available?
The Strike can be customized extensively beyond the standard configuration. Options include top chafe strips, bottom chafe, bottom wrap protection, extra D-rings, additional thwarts, custom logos and graphics, foot cups, and custom valve placement. You can also modify the design dimensions - length, interior width, tube diameter, and rake - which will affect pricing. Use the notes field at checkout or contact SOTAR directly to discuss your build.
Can I stand on the floor of the Strike raft?
Yes. The I-beam drop floor is stable and rigid enough to stand on comfortably, which is especially useful for fly fishing. The floor I-beams run the full length of the raft and provide a solid, non-slip surface when inflated to proper pressure.
What is included in the SOTAR warranty?
SOTAR provides a 10-year limited warranty on Strike rafts for recreational use and a 6-year limited warranty for commercial use. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Contact SOTAR directly for full warranty terms and claim procedures.
What size Strike raft is best for fly fishing?
The 13'6" is the most popular model for fly fishing and is considered the sweet spot in the Strike lineup - offering a great balance of stability, casting room, and maneuverability. If you primarily fish tight, technical rivers alone or with one partner, the 11'6" or 12'6" may suit you better. For guided trips or multi-day gear-heavy floats, the 14'6" is the top choice.
Does this raft require a frame or oar system?
The Strike raft is sold as the inflatable hull only - a rowing frame and oar system are not included but are commonly paired with this raft. SOTAR and many compatible aftermarket suppliers offer fishing frames designed to fit the Strike series. Contact us or SOTAR for frame recommendations based on your intended use.
