The SwellPro SplashDrone lifebuoy is a lightweight inflatable flotation aid made to be carried and dropped by a SplashDrone 3+ or SplashDrone 4. It’s built for surf clubs, boat operators and dive teams who want a faster way to get buoyancy to someone in trouble. Order it online here with secure checkout.
Why add the SwellPro SplashDrone lifebuoy to your kit
In open water, the minutes before a rescuer arrives matter. A drone can cover distance quickly, and the SwellPro SplashDrone lifebuoy gives a struggling swimmer something to hold onto while help is on the way.
It weighs 400 g, so it doesn’t overload the drone, and it inflates in under five seconds. Once inflated it provides 110N of buoyancy and stays afloat for more than 48 hours, losing no more than 5 per cent of its buoyancy over the first 24 hours.

Who it suits
It’s a support tool, not a replacement for trained rescuers. Use it as part of a plan that includes calling emergency services and following your organisation’s procedures.
- Surf lifesaving and water-safety teams
- Dive operators supporting scuba divers at the surface
- Charter and commercial boat crews
- Search and rescue volunteers flying SplashDrone aircraft
Before you order: what’s included and what you need
The box contains the lifebuoy itself, supplied without a gas bottle, so you’ll need a compatible gas cylinder before it’s ready to deploy. Check with our team if you’re unsure what suits it.
It’s designed for the SplashDrone 3+ and SplashDrone 4. The cover is waterproof polyester Oxford with neoprene, and the airbag is nylon with TPU, materials chosen for wet, salty conditions.
Training and care tips
A rescue tool is only useful if your team knows how to deploy it under pressure. Build it into regular drills, and keep it stored where it can be grabbed quickly:
- Practise drops in calm water before you need it in an emergency
- Rinse the cover with fresh water after use in the sea
- Dry it fully before repacking and storing
- Inspect the airbag and cover regularly for wear
Frequently asked questions
Which drones work with the SwellPro SplashDrone lifebuoy?
It’s made for the SwellPro SplashDrone 3+ and SplashDrone 4. If you fly another model, contact our team and we’ll help you check what fits your setup.
Does the SwellPro SplashDrone lifebuoy come with a gas bottle?
No. It’s supplied without a gas bottle, so plan to buy a compatible one separately. Ask our team if you’d like help choosing the right one before you order.
How much buoyancy does the SwellPro SplashDrone lifebuoy provide?
It provides 110N of buoyancy once inflated, which happens in under five seconds. It can stay afloat for more than 48 hours, giving a person in the water something stable to hold.
Is a lifebuoy better than a life jacket for drone drops?
For drone delivery, a compact inflatable buoy is easier to carry and release than a bulky life jacket, and a person can grab it quickly in the water. SwellPro designed this one specifically for that job.
