Our top model, the RescYou™ Pro UKSL liferaft, has self-righting properties ensuring when time matters most, the liferaft is always ready for boarding within seconds with no need to waste precious minutes or experience loss of body heat while attempting to right a life raft.
It features generous space and headroom as well as all the details required by the serious sailor. The automatic self-righting function ensures that the liferaft is immediately ready for boarding. The ultimate liferaft for all types of sailing, where comfort and safety go hand in hand.
The curtained windows give an excellent view of the horizon without the need to open the canopy. The inflatable double floor works as a good insulation from the cold ocean. Features that reduce the risk of hypothermia. Large ballast bags keep the liferaft stable in the water, helping to prevent capsize in very heavy seas.
VIKING RescYou™ Pro liferaft is both ISO9650-1 Group A certified, ISAF approved and third party verified by DNV.

- The VIKING RescYou™ liferafts for yachting provide double security for passengers as they are equipped with two individual buoyancy chambers, each having sufficient buoyancy to carry the weight of the number of persons which the liferaft is designed to accommodate.
- Made from natural rubber and acrylic/silicon coated nylon.
Valise or canister?
Viking liferafts are available in either a valise or a canister. When possible, a canister is recommended to offer the best protection against wear and tear and the elements. A canister can be left on deck or mounted in the stern of a sailing yacht. A liferaft in a valise should be protected from the elements and care should be taken to keep it clear from sharp objects. It will need to be stowed in a location that permits it to be brought on deck quickly and easily.
