A Vintage Blog Post

Welcome to the new website

Over the past 35 years my business has gone by many names. In the late 70’s it was Safaris Aquaticos, Floating and Fishing Patagonia. This was the first ever river floating company in Argentina. Back in the USA my company was called FatBoy Fishing. Wyoming, Montana and Yellowstone National Park were the venue locations and we had a small group of dedicated angling clients that shared our passion for the sport of fly fishing. Together we explored the legendary waters of the greater Yellowstone area.

After spending more than twenty years guiding the famous trout streams of South America, the Intermountain West and several years working for the top fly-out lodges of Alaska, I decided to come home to Jackson Hole. After all, this is not a bad place to live and work. My home waters, the Snake River, where I cut my guide teeth in the early 70’s, were calling me back.

Now fast forward to 2014. We now have twenty years of treating our guests to the unique adventure of Wooden Boat River Tours. This combined our passion for our hand built wooden drift boats as well as the amazing adventure of exploring the Snake River in these classic boats. Add to that our winter adventures on snowshoes and more recently horse drawn sleigh.

All of these adventures revolve around another unique aspect, our Riverside Tipi Camp. Our camp is what puts our adventures head and shoulders above the rest. Located in the quiet corner of the valley, it harkens back to earlier times. It is a place to relax in a peaceful setting, a place to enjoy the beauty of nature without the rush of the modern world. The camp, the boats, the sleighs and snowshoes are all vintage pieces. They are all the result of fine craftsmanship and our adventures are crafted of the same.
Welcome to AJ DeRosa’s Jackson Hole Vintage Adventures. We are sure that you will enjoy them as much as we enjoy bringing you into our world.

    Morning float with tons of wildlife!

    "We had a very scenic float down the river in the early morning. Saw tons of wildlife, birds, even a mother moose and her calf! The fast waters were no problem either. Hot tea and blankets were provided as well, so our cold morning was still comfortable."

    Beautiful trip!!

    "My family and I (10 of us - all adults) did the float and dinner tour and had an outstanding and memorable trip! We saw lots of wildlife, the crew was great, and the dinner at their 'camp' was the highlight of our vacation to the Jackson Hole area. If you are looking for a great trip I highly recommend!!"

    Was that a dream?

    "Friends and I shared a magical experience on a horse-drawn sleigh to tipi camp along the Snake River in mid-December. The warm food, the rustic ambience, and the soft falling snow made for a quintessential winter afternoon. At the conclusion of our experience, the little boy with us turned to his mom and said, "Mommy, was that a dream?" Need I say more. A must-do."

    “Vintage Jackson Hole river experience!”

    We spent 2 hours on the river and 2 hours in the riverside camp enjoying a hand-crafted outdoor experience. Thanks to A.J. and Kevin for sharing their stories, history and wildlife along the snake river.
