Safe sailing to magical Saint John’s festivities!

On June 23, specifically between June 23 and June 25, Menorca will become the focal point of traditions and culture with the celebration of its most famous festivity, Saint John’s Day.

Every year, many vessel owners decide to sail from several points of the Mediterranean Sea to the so-called quiet island, and that is why Dahlberg’s team suggests you be foresighted and check all the safety equipment in order to be sure it is in perfect condition.

The journey between islands can be challenging, and unforeseen events at sea can happen at any moment. Today, we are talking about life rafts, and although we hope never to resort to them, when things get rough, they can become the best ally by playing a key role.

Life rafts are flotation devices specifically designed to provide safety and protection to people in case of an emergency at sea. They are equipped with resistant materials and are capable of staying afloat even in harsh and adverse conditions.

As they are a mandatory element on certain vessels and on certain journeys, it is essential to have them in case of emergencies. Dahlberg offers life rafts certified to ISO 9650, an international standard for the use of life rafts in recreational vessels. Those life rafts have specific performance and characteristics, such as those on the Duarry ISO 9650 Dynamic, which is also approved for use on board professional as well as recreational vessels up to 24 metres in length for type B in zones 2 and 3. It is perfect for a coastal journey or between the Balearic Islands.

The Duarry ISO 9650 Dynamic Life Raft is made of natural rubber, and you can find it in a rigid container or in a bag. The container is made of fibreglass and has interior reinforcements, which allow it to be adapted to any support on the deck of the vessel. It also includes a grab bag with all the essentials in case you have to board the raft in an emergency.

As life rafts are an element that may not have to be used many times, they are bought, stored, and forgotten since everybody hopes not to suffer an unexpected event that forces them to leave the boat. The truth is that it is mandatory to check them every 2 years, but at Dahlberg, we want to make it easy for you by offering an inspection flat rate. With our flat rate, you will pay the same amount for every inspection of your life raft for the following 8 years, keeping maintenance costs under control and ensuring safe sailing. Please ask about the conditions with Dahlberg’s commercial team.

As being safe is not at odds with being fashionable, now you can find the container of the Duarry ISO 9650 Dynamic life raft in a large range of colours, so when you buy a new life raft, you will be able to customise it in the colour you prefer. You can match it with your vessel or with your favourite colour; you choose, and we provide you with a safe, approved, and to your liking life raft.
