USCG Approved Liferafts for Commercial Fishing Vessels

There are three main types of liferafts approved for commercial fishing in US waters - IBA, Coastal, and USCG/SOLAS. The raft you need to be legal depends on if your vessel is state-registered or federally documented, the distance from shore you are operating, the number of crew onboard, and the length of your vessel. Some other factors could affect your specific requirements depending on the region you are operating in, type of fishery, etc. If you aren't sure which type of liferaft you need, we recommend using the USCG Checklist Generator to understand the requirements for your particular vessel.

Commercial fishing safety standards must be followed to get out on the water, which is where the requirement for a liferaft comes into play. Commercial liferafts can be used on commercial fishing boats, passenger vessels, or commercial shipping vessels. SOLAS approved commercial life rafts are typically used on boats that require an offshore life raft or that are traveling in international waters. A USCG approved life raft is required on boats operating in domestic waters, such a commercial fishing boat or an inspected passenger vessel. A Revere life raft, RFD Survival liferaft, Survitec Zodiac liferaft, Elliot life raft, or Crewsaver liferaft are all excellent options when looking for a commercial fishing life raft. Offshore liferafts will typically come with SOLAS life raft equipment packed inside the raft.
