160 DD Raft

The AIRE 160DD is the largest raft in the DD (Double Diminished) Series, built for big groups, big expeditions, and big whitewater. Even as a 16’ boat, it remains maneuverable and responsive, making it a high-performance choice for extended trips. With serious carrying capacity, it easily fits a large frame, coolers, 40” dry boxes, and all the gear you need. Whether you're running the Colorado River or paddling with 8 friends, the 160DD is up for the adventure.

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 4x4, 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.
