whitewater raft

Inflatable river craft

A whitewater raft is an inflatable boat designed for navigating rapids and turbulent river sections.

These rafts are wide, stable, and buoyant, typically holding four to twelve passengers who paddle in coordination.

We rented a whitewater raft for the Colorado River trip.

The term also works as a verb: to whitewater raft is to ride such rapids recreationally or competitively.
