Choosing the proper Life Raft for your vessel can be a bit overwhelming. There are so many different manufacturers to choose from (each of which will tell you that theirs is, of course, the best) and so many different models within each line, that it can become a bit confusing. Have you decided on a valise or canister? Is the size and weight of the raft important to you? Do you need a Life Raft that meets USCG or SOLAS approval? When you factor in all the various regulations you may be trying to meet, making the right choice can be a daunting task.
