Testimonials - What the Professionals are Saying

Our Inflatable Boats & Kayaks are receiving great reviews from Outfitters all over the world.

"Been in the business since '71 and known Holly for 18 years. She has always been about serving the customer and in our dealing with VG the company is consistent with her ethics and values. I've run the VG's on the Grand Canyon and here in Colorado. They have incredible performance with superior tracking. The quality of construction is outstanding. But its the price that makes these rafts an unbeatable value!"

Greg Kelchner, Owner Timberline Tours, Vail, CO

	"In purchasing 25 rafts and IK's last season we at OARS made a smart business decision. They are a genuine value! In our South & Middle Fork operation our guides love the performance and said the VG's definately gave our customers a lot wetter ride."
	Lannie Yeager, Regional Manager OARS, Coloma, CA

"After running the VG's the past 2 seasons we are converting our fleet to VG's. In my opinion they are the best raft design on the market...superior tracking & air retention, great colors, flawless seams, stiffness and a wet ride but...the biggest bonus is the great price."
Gary Shoenecker, Owner High Desert River Outfitters, Maupin, OR

	"Bio-Bio's purchase decision for our fleet of VG IK's was based upon the low price, however what really impressed us is the durability and that we can safely run the beginning paddlers down Class III+ & CLass IV water on the Futalefu in Patagonia."
	Marc Goddard, Owner Bio-Bio Expeditions, Patagonia, Chile

"We have used seven 14-16 foot rafts on the Smith, Missouri, Snake and Blackfoot Rivers(even during low flows at drag levels) and have found them to hold up and handle well while costing considerably less than similar high quality rafts. The VENTURE line initially caught our attention with its good looks and sheer thickness of its material, however, the deal clincher was the price!"
Craig Madsen, Owner & Guide Montana River Outfitters, Great Falls, MT
