Viking RescYou™ Ocean Liferaft

Description

VIKING RescYou™ Ocean liferaft, 4-8 persons

The traditional liferaft for cruising and sport fishing on the open sea.

The VIKING RescYou™ Ocean is the traditional liferaft in VIKING’s yachting range. The large canopy opening and the highly visible special designed boarding ramp with weighted ladder provides swift and easy boarding.

The insulated double inflatable floor provides hypothermia protection and the two canopy openings offer an excellent view of the horizon plus cross ventilation. Large ballast bags keep the liferaft stable in the water, helping to prevent capsize in very heavy seas.

There are no compromises on safety when choosing a VIKING liferaft. The RescYou™ Ocean is ISO 9650-1 certified and meets ISAF requirements. Third party approval by DNV.

Available in sizes: 4, 6 or 8 persons.

Comes in a container or a valise.

The liferaft is naturally both ISO9650-1 Group A certified, ISAF approved and third party verified by DNV.

As a standard, delivered with an ISO II emergency pack. For larger sizes see the variants. Liferafts can also be delivered with SOLAS B (primarily for Spain) or E-pack (for the US).

Fluorescent yellow canopy enhances visibility from a distance
Two separate buoyancy chambers each capable of supporting maximum capacity
Four 55 liter weighted ballast bags for stability in heavy seas
SOLAS high-visibility retro-reflective tape on canopy, sides buoyancy chambers and under the liferaft
Automatic SOLAS/USCG exterior strobe light and interior light
Internal and external lifelines

Shipping

Liferafts are shipped via HazMat ground carrier. Liferafts that weigh under 70 lbs (with packaging) will typically ship via UPS or FedEx ground service. Rafts weighing over 70 lbs must be shipped via LTL (Less Than Truckload) freight truck (tractor-trailer) due to hazardous shipping regulations. Shipping rates for LTL freight vary greatly between residential and commercial addresses, so it's very important that you select your correct address type at checkout. An eligible commercial address will either have a loading dock or forklift on site to unload the shipment when it arrives. If your address does not have a loading dock or forklift, you MUST select residential delivery. When residential delivery is selected, the trucking company will be prepared to unload the shipment at a non-commercial location (such as your house) and will normally send a truck with a liftgate for unloading. Liferafts that ship via freight truck will be packaged in a large box and strapped to a wooden pallet.
