Liferafts

Safety at sea is not optional. Life rafts are your last resort in an emergency. At Nautica Basile, you'll find approved and certified models, ready for use and with all the necessary accessories.

We offer self-inflating life rafts for 4 to 12 people, compliant with international standards. Whether you're planning an ocean passage or a coastal cruise, we have the right solution for your needs. Available in a rigid container for added protection or in a valise for reduced storage space.

In addition to complete life rafts, we also carry a variety of accessories, including life raft cradles, repair kits, and grab bags with essential emergency supplies.

How to Choose the Right Life Raft

The choice of life raft depends primarily on the number of people on board and the type of sailing you're doing. For unrestricted offshore navigation, you'll need a life raft approved for that purpose. Also, consider the available storage space on board and the ease of launching in an emergency. A quick-release life raft cradle can make all the difference in a critical situation.

Always check the service date of your life raft. Periodic servicing is mandatory to keep the raft in perfect working order and ensure your safety.

A Tip from the Nautica Basile Workshop

Before you set sail, familiarize yourself with how the life raft works and the emergency procedures. Make sure all crew members know where the raft is located, how to launch it, and what to do in the event of abandoning ship. Organize a periodic drill to simulate an emergency situation.

What is the Difference Between an Approved and a Non-Approved Life Raft?

Approved life rafts are certified according to international standards (e.g., ISO 9650) and are designed to withstand extreme conditions. Non-approved rafts may be less expensive, but they do not offer the same level of safety and reliability.

How Often Should a Life Raft Be Serviced?

The frequency of servicing depends on the type of raft and the applicable regulations. Generally, servicing should be carried out every 2-3 years at authorized service centers. Always check your life raft's documentation for specific deadlines.

What Should a Life Raft Grab Bag Contain?

A well-equipped grab bag should contain potable water, high-calorie food rations, a first-aid kit, a portable VHF radio, a whistle, a waterproof flashlight, a multi-purpose knife, a compass, and a thermal blanket. Verify that the equipment complies with the regulations for the navigation you intend to undertake.
