Life rafts

(10 products)

Whether on the high seas or near the coast – every minute counts in an emergency. A life raft provides crucial protection for the crew in an emergency and should not be missing on any long sea voyage. Even though there is no legal requirement to carry one, experts strongly recommend appropriate equipment. At awn, you will find tested life rafts for different cruising areas and boat sizes.

  • Function of the life raft

    Life rafts are inflatable rescue devices that are quickly deployed in an emergency and provide protection for everyone on board. They feature an automatic inflation system, interior and exterior lighting, a weatherproof roof, ventilation, and a thermally insulated floor. Delivered in a bag or container, they include emergency equipment such as water, paddles, signaling devices, an anchor, and a first-aid kit.

  • Life rafts for coastal and offshore use

    Life rafts vary in their features and requirements depending on the area of ​​operation. The ISO 9650 standard distinguishes between coastal and offshore life rafts for boats up to 24 meters in length. While coastal models are designed for shorter rescue times, offshore models offer comprehensive protection even during longer waiting times. The emergency version of the offshore life raft is even suitable for use over 24 hours.

  • Regular maintenance is mandatory

    Even though there is no legal maintenance requirement for recreational boats, regular inspection of the life raft according to the manufacturer's instructions is recommended. This is the only way to ensure functionality in an emergency. For commercial vessels, annual maintenance by certified companies according to IMO standards is required – a good guideline for recreational boaters as well.
