SWITLIK SAR-6 Transoceanic Raft

The SAR-6 Transoceanic Raft is SWITLIK’s finest blue water offshore life raft as utilised by numerous professional search and rescue teams around the world. This rugged transoceanic life raft is constructed of our Nylon-HD abrasion resistant tube fabric and features an auto erecting convertible canopy, twin oversized tubes, and the patented Toroidal Stability Device for the ultimate stability. The boat shape design of the SAR-6 provides extra leg room for six people and offers the highest level of stability and protection from the elements, while our unique canopy design circulates fresh air throughout to mitigate seasickness and keep morale high.

The Transoceanic SAR-6 provides a superior design, designed for operations outside the range of rescue helicopters and features that facilitate a longer rescue mission.
