The SAR-6 is the raft of choice of professional search and rescue teams around the world. The rugged offshore life raft features an auto erecting convertible canopy, twin over sized tubes, the patented torodial ballast system for improved stability, and a choice of two different heat sealed floors. The boat shape design provides extra leg room for six people and offers the highest level of protection from the elements in both coastal and offshore situations.

The high freeboard keeps the water out while the independent chambers provide redundancy in case of a tube failure. Heavy Duty (840 denier) Nylon Buoyancy Tubes Coated on Both Sides with Abrasion Resistant Urethane featuring Over-Lapped Seams Taped Inside and Out.

Chosen by the USCG and Royal Australian Air Force after extensive comparative testing in the industry as the best design for stabilizing a life raft. This testing included, limited occupants, overloading and extraction which brings heavy down wash from the helicopter.

Auto erecting arches with a furled canopy provide an open platform making it simple to just jump in. The High Visibility Fluorescent Orange Canopy with Opaque Blue Inner Coating provides a perfect combination of visibility and a calming vertigo.
