Power & Precision for Steep, Technical and Big Whitewater

The AIRE 156E is a rising star in the rafting world, designed for steep, technical rivers. Its elliptical shape allows for quick maneuvers, making it ideal for R6-R9 paddle teams. Outfitted with a frame, it also serves as a fun, capable gear raft for multi-day expeditions. With straight side tubes for tracking, a pointed bow for shedding water, and a guide-friendly stern, the 156E is made for tackling big drops and deep holes.

What Makes the AIRE 156E Special?

Narrow Feel for Responsive Handling

  • Designed to feel narrower than similar-sized boats, giving it a nimble, controlled ride.

Pointed, High-Rising Bow for Punching Through Features

  • The steeply angled bow sheds water better than round rafts, making it easier to navigate drops and holes.

Straight Side Tubes for Better Tracking

  • Unlike traditional rafts, the 156E’s straight side tubes keep it on course, even in pushy water.

Guide-Friendly Stern for Superior Positioning

  • The squared-off, low-rise stern provides an optimal guiding platform, ensuring better control and positioning.

1 review for 156E

  1. Pedro Rocabuena

    The 156E is a fantastic boat. Sporty and nimble, yet plenty of carrying capacity for a fully outfitted multiday boat. I’ve rowed it down the Middle Fork at under 2′ on the gauge fully loaded and this baby spins on a dime and ferries like a dream for those rock dodging moves necessary at that flow. It’s like a Super Puma on steroids!
