ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A stabilized life raft utilizing a fluid filled depending buoy chamber for overall stabilization and including as improved features thereon a peripheral skirt chamber which fills with the raft supporting fluid upon deployment of the raft and serves as a temporary stabilizing means while the buoy chamber becomes filled. The buoy chamber includes baffle means to impede the flow of the stabilizing fluid from one portion of the chamber to another in the event of a sudden weight shift within the raft. Improved valve means permit a more rapid inward flow of fluid upon deployment of the raft and yet prevents outward flow in instances where the buoyant raft is suddenly thrust upwardly by elements such as waves. The raft, because of the particular placement of the various structural elements in conjunction with the placement of the survival gear and inflation system, is automatically self-righting.
