Givens Marine Survival Co., Inc.
Manufacturers of Givens Buoy Life Rafts

The Givens Buoy Life Raft has been tested by both the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy, every time proving itself as the most stable life raft available. With this amazing life saving technology, the Givens Buoy Life Raft will not capsize, even under the incredible stresses of hurricane force winds and 35 foot seas (see testimonials for survivors accounts from Hurricane Allen). It's the only life raft to have brought survivors through the eye of a hurricane and back! 190 knot winds and 35 foot seas could not capsize the Givens Buoy Life Raft, our competitors could never claim that.

Our premium-quality life raft is the safest place to be when there's an emergency at sea!

The Givens Buoy Life Raft will automatically re-right itself in breaking waves. (See illustrations that show how the underwater hydrodynamically stabilization ballast system works.) And its insulated lining will help shield the survivors from the the effects of the elements, such as hypothermia.

Givens Marine Survival manufacturing plant gives the company the flexibility to meet the increasing demand for high quality life saving equipment. New products are designed in our own research and development facility. New technology and automation allows GMS to build a superior quality product and meet our customer's time schedules.

Assembly and production is carefully monitored by quality inspectors to ensure that every raft is top quality. GMS strives to achieve the best life raft possible through research, development, rigorous testing and quality control to insure their customers satisfaction as well as their lives.
