About Life Rafts Etc.

LIFE RAFTS ETC. is owned and operated by Anke Roosens, who grew up on the beautiful Island of Sint Maarten-St.Martin in the Caribbean.
Anke is a well known and respected captain who runs an inter-island passenger ferry and also
freelances on (mega) yachts.

Her mom Veerle owns Maritime Services and Training and the Maritime School of the West Indies in Marigot where the STCW'95 course, Master of Yachts 200 Ton and others are taught and this is what inspired the idea behind
LIFE RAFTS ETC.

The Maritime School of the West Indies uses a life raft at least once a month to do the sea survival module and it was always very expensive and complicated to send those rafts off island every time because the service could not be provided locally.

To make a long story short; after doing some research, Anke flew to France and other countries where she did the required training to become an official life raft service technician for several brands like Plastimo, Zodiac, Bombard, Etc.

After coming back home and having the workshop inspected by officials in order to comply with requirements from the IMO and SOLAS,
LIFE RAFTS ETC. officially opened for business in 2009.
