Row Your Own Complete

Do you have rafting experience?

Not able to pull a permit for the Main Salmon?  Do you have some equipment, but not enough to outfit a whole trip? Do you want the skills and experience of a licensed Lead Boatman to guide your group? Let’s discuss your rafting history and your ideas. Charter a complete trip with 16 guests or more. We will work with you to develop a customized commercial trip with the feel of a private trip.

Season

Late July – August

SOAR Northwest has been offering the ‘ROW YOUR OWN COMPLETE’ for the past 7 seasons and honing this new and exciting platform for commercial boating.  The emphasis is on the ‘experience’, with safety and fun a priority. This means that those who take part in this trip will have the best of both worlds: The professional approach of a commercial trip with the affordability, community spirit and experiential adventure of a private river trip.

This Trip is for Anyone Who

  • Has previous rowing experience but feels rusty on the oars and would like some assistance with boat set-up, reading rapids and multi-day river logistics.
  • Families who want to row their own raft share a river trip with their children but would like the extra safety of a professional guide.
  • Applied for the Main Salmon lottery and did not receive a permit but still wants a river trip this summer!
  • Has some river camp gear but lacks the entire set up for a multi day river experience.
  • Doesn’t want to worry about packing the kitchen, hauling trash, or poop!
  • Wants to have fun!

Trip Responsibilities:

  • Each family/party will provide their own boat, frame, oars / 2 spares, straps for rigging, dry box(es) cooler + ice. ~Bring your own PFD’s, tent(s), sleeping bag, sleeping pad, camp chairs & dry bags
  • Everyone participates in camp duties including the set up and breakdown of the; kitchen, camp, groover.
  • Each party/family will be responsible for providing cooking 1 dinner & 1 breakfast for the entire group. (Food for these meals will be maintained on personal boats)
  • Each family/party will provide their own beverages, lunches and snacks each day.
  • Each family/party is responsible for providing their own vehicle shuttle. (If possible, this can be a shared expense if parties are able to share a shuttle together.)
