Pros

  • Listed for 6 people, so it can carry a full crew.
  • Seven air chambers split the buoyancy into separate sections.
  • Drop-stitch floor.
  • 2000D PVC fabric at 1.2 mm thick, the same fabric specs as the Bris 9.8 ft.
  • 18.8 in tube diameter on a 72.4 in wide hull.

Cons

  • At 142 in long and 72.4 in wide, it is a big raft to haul, store and inflate.
  • Seven chambers means more inflating and more valves to check before each trip.
  • The listing gives a weight of 925 lb without saying if that is the raft's weight or a load limit, so check before relying on it.
  • No owner feedback is available here, so durability and real-world handling are unconfirmed.
  • Sold only through Amazon in our listings, and no warranty is listed, unlike the Bris 9.8 ft.

Who should skip it

Solo paddlers or pairs who want something small to carry and inflate should skip it. The 9.8 ft Bris is the smaller option in this group. Anyone who needs owner feedback before buying will also find none here.

Verdict

On paper this is a sizable six-person raft with a drop-stitch floor, seven chambers and the same heavy PVC fabric as the smaller Bris. It makes sense for groups who need the room. We haven't tested it, and with no owner feedback to go on, confirm the weight figure and warranty with the seller first.
