RIVER READY

  • LOW-PROFILE PERFORMANCE. Diminishing tube design keeps you floating low for better control and less wind resistance.

  • GUIDE-FRIENDLY ACCESS. Low tube height makes boarding and unloading passengers or gear quick and easy, with excellent visibility for spotting fish.

  • CASTING STABILITY. Drop-stitch floor delivers a solid, level platform for confident casting.

  • ROCKERED FLOOR. Exclusive rocker shaped drop-stitch floor punches through waves, stays lively under oar, and keeps you in command when the river gets pushy.

  • FISHING-FOCUSED DESIGN. No thwart mounts to get in the way, plus horseshoe chafe strip for stern fishing seat.

  • SMART RIGGING. Strategically located grab handles, chafe strips, and valves to make loading easier, and minimize wear.

  • SNAG-FREE LAYOUT. Minimal D-rings, side-mounted valves, and clean lines keep casts clear.

  • TWO SIZES. 13'6" for day trips and overnights or 14'6" for bigger water and extended fishing trips.


 

BUILT TOUGH

  • HEAVY DUTY PVC. Double thick 3000 denier 50 oz per yard PVC on tubes, bottom chafe, and both sides of the floor. A step above the rest.

  • ROUNDED CORNERS. Every corner is shaped to reduce wear.

  • WELDED SEAMS. Precision welded for long-term performance and strength.

  • DROP-STITCH FLOOR. Ultra-rigid construction delivers a rock-solid, level platform for confident footing and precise response under load.

  • HORSESHOE CHAFE STRIPS. Full side and rear layered PVC reinforcement.

  • RUGGED HARDWARE. Mega-reinforced, sun-protected grab handles and valves built to last season after season.

  • FISHING READY. Designed with angling layouts, stern frame mounts, and snag-free features.

  • GUIDE DESIGNED. Built for hard use and harder play.

 
 
 

★★★★★ 5/5

“Our family purchased two Rio Craft rafts, oars, and a variety of accessories over the past 18 months. We have already logged a ton of river miles on our boats.  We are extremely impressed with the quality, durability and performance. Powder coating is excellent and so are the color options. In addition, Joe is TOP NOTCH to deal with. Fantastic communication, fair pricing and super FAST shipping.  I will continually recommend only Rio Craft. We truly appreciate this Colorado company and amazing customer service. Thank you again!”

Can handle anything the river throws at it

“RioCraft makes a stable, easy rowing boat that tracks well, turns on a dime, and can put the fisherman anywhere they want to be on the river. Despite its narrow profile, the Madison is spacious, sturdy, and comfortable. It may look fishy, and it is. The Madison by RioCraft meets the fisherman's needs and can handle anything the river throws at it.“

Ike Wallace / 13.5’ Madison / Clark Fork, Blackfoot, Bitterroot Rivers

 

★★★★★ 5/5

Quick to respond

“The Madison is quick to respond, and effortless to hold in steady current. While tracking well, it easily maintains position allowing the rower time to forecast the next piece of water.”
