“The Laws of Nature do not produce litigation in and of themselves. . . Nor can litigation bring back the dead. . .” – Peter Defty , VG Inflatables

The Laws of Nature are real and not a contrivance of man to prey upon his fellow man after the fact. Because these Laws are real rather than virtual VG cannot stress enough the importance of hands-on education and training with qualified personnel & programs. Practice the skills you learn! Prior to going out, know your limits [and those of your passengers!] and know the waters you are on. This page and your local VG dealer can help you access the rafting safety related resources to gain these skills.

No-one can predict nor plan for every situation but with proper knowledge, planning, training and practice you can enjoy the thrills & enjoyment your VG raft and Nature offer and be safer [statistically] than being in your automobile on fast moving crowded freeway.

As our name implies, Vanguard is at the forefront of Boating Safety. The engineering and design of every VG product is created to meet or exceed U.S. and European Standards and because VG River boats are built to meet the demanding conditions of Commercial use they offer a greater margin of safety over retail consumer products.
