The RescYou™ Coastal Life Raft is an excellent choice for cruising and sport fishing in coastal or inland waters in locations where rescue is likely in a short period of time (hours rather than days).
This raft is compact, lightweight, and easy to transport and fit onboard.
Exceeding requirements for ISO 9650-2 approval, the RescYou Coastal life raft incorporates dual/redundant buoyancy chambers and an automatically inflating canopy (a single partial tube provides overhead support). This raft also features water ballast bags, an innovative boarding ramp for quick, easy access, and a full complement of SOLAS flares.
All viking life rafts are made from a specially formulated natural rubber which (unlike many synthetic materials) does not form creases when packed - which can create wear or failure points. Natural rubber ages better, lasts longer, and - featuring hand-glued, easy-to-repair seams - has lower on-going maintenance costs.
The Viking RescYou Coastal life raft comes with a specifically designed coastal survival emergency pack which covers your basic needs in coastal rescue situations.
