156R

The AIRE 156R is an expedition-sized, all-purpose raft and the most popular of AIRE’s larger raft designs. It’s not too small for the Grand Canyon, yet not too large for paddle rafting big rivers, making it a favorite among outfitters. With its large 22” tubes for stability, a long waterline for superior tracking, and massive gear capacity, the 156R is built for adventure.

What makes the AIRE 156R special?

✅Large 22” Tubes for Stability in Big Water

  • Maintains a consistent 22” tube diameter, delivering classic raft handling with added flotation and control.

Long Waterline for Smooth Tracking

  • Designed to stay on course, making it efficient and predictable on extended runs.

High Carrying Capacity for Expeditions

  • The 156R can handle a 4-bay frame, a pile of gear, and multiple passengers—bring everything, including the kitchen sink!
  •  

SELF-BAILING RAFT - FLOOR SYSTEMS

Two different types of self-bailing floor pockets are available for all AIRE brand rafts.
The Regular Floor Pocket comes standard with all AIRE rafts while the Sealed Floor Pocket is optional ($620).

The Regular Floor Pocket (RFP)

HOW IT’S BUILT:
The (RFP) is constructed by sewing the PVC floor top and bottom to a zipper
along the perimeter edge of the floor pocket.
An air floor AIREcell is placed inside the pocket which keeps the floor rigid and
buoyant.
Drain holes are built into the bottom of the floor pocket.


DESIGN ADVANTAGES:
Aids in tracking and stability.
While on the river, water will enter the drain holes and add ballast to the boat.
This extra ballast creates a low center of gravity which helps the raft ‘stick’ to
the water and can sometimes help prevent a flip.


RECOMMENDED FOR:
This design comes standard with all our rafts.
Great choice for paddle rafts of all size

 

 

 

The Sealed Floor Pocket (SFP)


HOW IT’S BUILT:
The (SFP) is constructed by welding the PVC floor top and bottom together along
the perimeter to form a waterproof pocket.
1 watertight zipper is installed on the floor top to access the air floor AIREcell.
3 valves are installed. The inflation valve, the pressure relief valve and a burp valve
that relieves air pressure caught between the AIREcell and the floor pocket.


DESIGN ADVANTAGES:
The SFP does not take on any water to ballast, this will make the raft slightly faster
and more responsive in whitewater.
Owners don’t have to wait a couple minutes at the take out for water to drain out
of the raft floor pocket.
No need to rinse out the floor pocket after trips down silty rivers.


RECOMMENDED FOR:
Good choice for rowing large, gear hauling rafts.
Rivers that require portages.
The SFP is a good option when mostly running silty rivers.

*Floors do not come installed – call 801-455-5450 to add an install (additional fee) to your order.
