For those on deliveries, we offer a collection and delivery service. we can deliver to the marina you're starting from and collect from the arrival country / marina. There is a cost involved with this and it might be worth reading our collection and delivery page for more information.

Commercial & SOLAS Liferaft Hire

SOLAS
Throwover Liferafts

Throw over rafts are the most common life rafts for commercial vessels. We supply and service a variety of makes with fast turn around times.

We offer lease / rental options for all types of life raft although the SOLAS rafts are the main types to lease. We don't tie you in to 3 years minimum, annual works for us if it works for you.

All rafts are required to be serviced annually with specialist tests at certain intervals over a 10 year span. We can work on a direct debit payment plan to avoid large bills on certain years and spread the cost over a full year. This has proved popular since we launched it 2 months ago.
