Only Switlik offers all the safety of Twin Tubes in a single tube raft. Commercial version of the right designed for, and adopted by, the US Coast Guard for their helicopter operations. This professional grade life raft is now available for open sport fishing boats, day cruisers or sailboards, and everything in between. It is made from hand laid fiberglass, ensuring that you will be safe and secure even in the most treacherous of weather. It also lays a total of 20.1 square feet. This raft is a TSO Type II, Part 91 raft that comes with an inflatable floor. For $226 more, you can choose to add a thermal floor to your raft to make it more comfortable.

Capacity:

There is no one universal method of rating raft capacities (see here). In fact, there are several different methods and governmental agencies worldwide that rate the capacity of a life raft based on the following criteria: usable floor area, inflated buoyancy, size of an average individual, and their concept of how long someone might be in the raft before rescue, not to mention how you find yourself to be there, i.e. from a sinking vessel or a ditched aircraft.

As a result, SWITLIK takes the position that a life raft's capacity is truly defined by its total size in floor area and inflated buoyancy. How many "people" that translates into depends upon your usage and interpretation of the above criteria. A raft that might safely support 6 or 8 people in an emergency for 24 hours will seem a lot smaller for a transoceanic passage where rescue might be weeks in coming.
