    Choosing the Right Switlik Life Raft

    Switlik passage rafts serve recreational mariners: the CPR Coastal Passage Raft for coastal cruising, the OPR Offshore Passage Raft for bluewater passages. Rescue crews reach for the SAR-6 Search & Rescue Raft, the MRP-10 Marine Rescue Platform, both built for rapid deployment on the water. The MOM 8-S delivers man overboard recovery in a single throwable module. A cradle secures a raft topside, a USCG approved hydrostatic release unit frees it automatically as a vessel sinks. See all life raft accessories for cradles, re-arm kits, spares. Switlik builds the OPR to a five year service interval. LRSE operates a life raft service station for inspection, repack, recertification when service comes due.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between the Switlik CPR, OPR?
    The CPR Coastal Passage Raft suits coastal cruising, nearshore passages. The OPR Offshore Passage Raft carries a higher offshore specification for bluewater voyages, with greater inflated buoyancy, more floor area. Match the raft to how far offshore you travel. Contact LRSE to compare specifications side by side.
    Which Switlik raft is best for search and rescue operations?
    The best Switlik search and rescue raft depends on your mission and operational needs. The Switlik SAR-6 Search & Rescue Raft is designed for rescue crews recovering people from the water, while the Switlik MRP-10 Marine Rescue Platform provides a stable floating platform for rescue personnel during on-water operations. Factors such as your crew size, deployment method, and mission profile will determine which solution is the best fit. Contact LRSE for expert guidance in selecting the right Switlik rescue equipment for your application.
    What is the Switlik MOM 8-S?
    The Switlik MOM 8-S (Man Overboard Module) is a compact man overboard recovery system designed to help crews respond quickly when someone falls into the water. Once deployed from the vessel, the unit inflates on contact with the water and provides an underarm floatation device, a highly visible inflatable pylon with a flashing light, and a sea anchor to help keep the person in position for recovery. After deployment, the MOM 8-S can be returned to service using a Switlik re-arm kit, making it a reliable and reusable safety solution for recreational and offshore boaters.
    How often does a Switlik life raft need servicing?
    Service intervals vary by model, but the Switlik OPR Offshore Passage Raft features an industry-leading five-year service interval thanks to its sealed packaging and air-change inflation system. When your Switlik life raft is due for inspection, repacking, or recertification, LRSE’s in-house service station is ready to help keep your raft compliant and voyage-ready.
    Do I need a hydrostatic release unit for my Switlik raft?
    If your Switlik OPR Offshore Passage Raft is mounted in a deck cradle, you’ll need a USCG-approved hydrostatic release unit (HRU) for automatic deployment if your vessel sinks. Switlik offers an approved HRU for the OPR, while life rafts stored below deck in a valise do not require one.
