Expedition-Ready & Paddle-Friendly – The Most Versatile DD Series Raft

The 160DD is a maneuverable, high-performance expedition raft, designed for big groups and extended trips. As the largest diminished tube raft in AIRE’s lineup, it delivers serious gear capacity, a 15” bow and stern kick, and a short waterline for superior control. Whether you’re rowing fully loaded on a multi-day adventure or paddling with 8 friends, the 160DD is built for big water and big adventures.

What Makes the AIRE 146DD Special?

✅Expedition Performance – Load It Up & Keep It Moving

  • Designed for multi-day trips, the 160DD performs even when fully loaded.

✅Unmatched Kick for Wave Climbing

  • With a 15” bow and stern rise, it crawls over waves like a 4×4, making it the highest-kicking raft in AIRE’s lineup.

✅Diminished Bow & Stern Tubes for a Smooth Ride

  • 15.5” tapered tubes at the bow and stern slice through waves and provide extra interior space.

✅Short Waterline for Better Maneuverability

  • At 114”, the waterline is compact for a 16’ raft, enhancing handling and control in big water.

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.
