Sealed Floor Pocket (SFP)
Sealed floor pockets are ideal for silty rivers and gear-hauling setups. With welded seams, waterproof zippers, and three valves (including a burp valve), SFPs shed weight and drain instantly—perfect for portaging and expedition-style rafting.
Regular Floor Pocket Advantages:
- Self Bailing
- Aids in tracking & stability
- While on the river, water will enter the drain holes & add ballast to the boat
- The extra ballast creates a low center of gravity which helps the raft “stick” to the water, helping to prevent flips & keep rafts “on line”
Recommended for:
- Comes standard with all rafts
- Great choice for paddle rafts of all sizes
- Rafting big and technical whitewater
Sealed Floor Pocket Advantages:
- Self Bailing
- Does not take on any water to ballast, making the raft slightly faster & more responsive in whitewater
- At the take out, owners don’t have to wait for the water to drain out of the floor pocket
- No need to rinse out the floor pocket after trips down silty rivers
Recommended for:
- Good choice for rowing large, gear hauling rafts
- Rivers that require portages
- Good option when mostly running silty rivers
