The Boat People Inflatable Kayak & Raft Specialists

"Couldn't get any help from any of the sales people. One came up to me and said he will be with me in a moment and then 15 minutes later I left with zero help. I was ready to buy on the spot...."

"Lee is the best, I've been a customer of his for many many years, and have bought quite a few IK's off him, along with an early RMT bucket boat, all of which have served me well. The thing I like about The Boat People the best, is that whenever I would call in an order, it's always been like talking with an old friend. Although it's been a while since I've had to make such a call, in a few minutes I'll be placing a quick on-line order as there's a couple of simple odds and ends I now need. Highly recommended for all one's inflatable boat's needs. The picture which I have included is of me and my partner when we were out doing wildlife rescue, in this case a swan that was hooked in the face, and tangled in fishing line. *Both of these IK's are mine. Also - Lee only sells proven items, so you do not ever have to worry about buying something that's going to not work out for ya, and if you are not sure about something, all you need to do is give him a call, and he will make sure all your questions are answered and point you in the right direction."

"I didn't know what to buy, I just wanted to start whitewater rafting since I moved to the Bay Area/close to the Sierras. For what I wanted to do Arbach suggested a 13' AIRE Super Puma. Arbach helped me glue on some extra D rings. Advice on the custom made slant board rowing frame. Correct oar lengths... It's nice to find someone who loves their work! (But I think my passengers like my raft more than I do!!!!!)"
