At Saluda Outdoor River Company, we're excited to introduce our Mini Catamaran River Tubes—a premium floating experience that combines comfort, stability, and a little extra adventure on the scenic Saluda River.

Unlike a traditional round river tube, these heavy-duty inflatable catamarans are designed to give you a smoother, more comfortable ride while adding a fun new way to explore the river.

Whether you're a first-time floater or a returning guest, the Mini Catamaran is quickly becoming one of our favorite ways to experience the Saluda.

What Is a Mini Catamaran?

The Mini Catamaran features two inflatable pontoons connected by a comfortable seat and backrest, creating a stable platform that keeps you comfortably positioned as you float downstream.

The elevated design offers several advantages over a standard tube:

• Extra stability on the water
• Comfortable seating with built-in back support
• Easier to get in and out of
• A unique floating experience unlike anything else on the river

Instead of simply floating, you'll feel like you're piloting your own personal river craft.

Built for the River

These aren't the average inflatables.

Our Mini Catamarans are made from durable, commercial-grade materials designed specifically for river adventures. They're built to handle the natural conditions of the Saluda River while providing a comfortable and enjoyable ride throughout your trip.

Their wide, dual-pontoon design also helps create a stable ride that guests of all experience levels can enjoy.

Every Rental Includes a FREE Paddle

Every Mini Catamaran rental includes a complimentary paddle.

The paddle gives you the freedom to steer around bends, explore slower-moving sections of the river, stay close to your group, or simply have a little more control over your adventure. It's a simple addition that makes the experience even more interactive and fun.

A Premium Upgrade Worth Experiencing

The Mini Catamaran is typically offered as a $15 premium upgrade for guests looking to take their river adventure to the next level.

Many visitors choose the upgrade simply because of the added comfort, stability, and maneuverability that comes with the included paddle.

It's one of the best ways to elevate your day on the river.

Complimentary Upgrades During Select River Conditions

At Saluda Outdoor River Company, we're committed to giving every guest the best experience possible.

During certain river conditions, including lower water levels, our staff may upgrade guests to a Mini Catamaran at no additional charge.

Rather than using the same equipment every day, we carefully match the best floating option to current river conditions so you can enjoy the most comfortable and enjoyable trip possible.

If you happen to receive one of these complimentary upgrades, you'll get to experience all the benefits of our premium Mini Catamaran—including the free paddle—at no extra cost.

It's just one more way we go above and beyond to make every river adventure memorable.

Great for Families, Couples, and Groups

Mini Catamarans are perfect for:

• Families looking for a more comfortable float
• Couples wanting a unique outdoor adventure
• Groups of friends floating together
• Guests who enjoy having more control while on the river
• Anyone wanting to upgrade their tubing experience

Once you've floated in a Mini Catamaran, you'll understand why so many guests ask for them by name.
