Our Equipment

Rafts

Whenever anybody thinks of white water, the first thing they think of is a raft. The Raft has been a white water mainstay every since the beginning. The Rafts here at White Water Adventurers are all self bailing rafts, unlike rafts you may get at other outfitters. What this means is you and your friends can spend more time enjoying the beautiful Yough River Gorge and less time pouring water out of your boat.

Our rafts are 4 and 6 person. If you would like to reserve a raft, please call us at 1-800-WWA-RAFT.

P.P.B.s

Cruise the river in style in a P.P.B. ! They go by many names, including shredder and personal paddle boat, however what you call it, it delivers the same thing each and every time, an incredible ride down the river for you and a friend. P.P.B.'s are extremely maneuverable. They are designed with two large pontoons on the outside with two smaller ones connecting the outside pontoons. The middle of the P.P.B. is raised off the water and is self bailing.

P.P.B.'s are for two people only. If you would like to rent a P.P.B. for the Middle Youghiogheny, please call us right away at 1-800-WWA-RAFT.

Inflatable Kayaks

So, you're looking for a challenge on the Middle Yough? Well, we have the perfect idea for you. Rent an Inflatable kayak from White Water Adventurers. Inflatable kayaks provide kayak-like performance, but are much more stable then a real kayak. This means that you can get to know the river up close and personal without being a great kayaker. All of our inflatable kayaks are very maneuverable and fast. They are all self bailing.

Inflatable kayaks are great when you and a group of friends are coming rafting down the Yough. A huge advantage is that you and only you are in control of your boat. You can get as wet as you like. We also rent two-person inflatable kayaks. This are designed with one person sitting behind the other.
