The Boat
The main vessel is a 22-foot Boulton Sea Skiff with a full top, side curtains, back drop curtain, and a heater for the cold Donner mornings. It's so warm buttoned up, you'll be completely comfortable even in winter.
For Feather River King Salmon, trips run out of a Design Concepts jet boat that seats four comfortably.
