Looking for a comfortable and family-friendly way to experience the Buffalo River? Look no further than our guided drift boat trips.
Drift boats were originally designed in the Pacific Northwest in the early 1900s as a way to navigate the region's fast-moving rivers. They were created by fishermen who needed a vessel that was both stable and easy to maneuver, making them perfect for casting and navigating through rapids. Over time, drift boats have become a popular choice for recreational boating, especially for families with young children or older individuals who just want to relax on the water.
Instead of traditional fiberglass drift boats, we use new polyethylene drift boats created by Boulder Boat Works. Their drift boats are not only more durable, but they are also incredibly lightweight. Our boats can cruise through shallow waters without a scratch, which make them ideal for the Buffalo River, and allow us to run trips at many water levels.
But perhaps the most impressive aspect of Boulder Boat Works drift boats is their quietness. The hull design of their boats helps to minimize the noise of the boat moving through the water, making them an excellent choice for fishing trips. The quieter the boat, the less likely you are to scare away fish and wildlife. This makes them a favorite among anglers and nature lovers alike, who want to get as close to the wildlife of the Buffalo river as possible without disturbing them.
In addition to their lightweight and quietness, Boulder Boat Works drift boats are also incredibly maneuverable. The flat-bottom design, combined with a shallow draft, makes them easy to navigate through tight spaces. This makes them an ideal choice for exploring the Buffalo River and its many twists and turns.
At our guided trip service, we take pride in providing our customers with the best trip possible, and that means using the best vessel for the job. Unlike cramped kayaks, canoes, or rafts, our Boulder Boat Works drift boats have comfy seats and lots of leg room. In the summer, we have equipped the boats with beach umbrellas to provide some shade, and the coolers ready for your beverages are right below your seat. Our trips are perfect for families of all ages and experience levels, and we provide all the gear and cook all the meals, so you can have a relaxing time enjoying the Buffalo National River.
