Lifeboat/get-to-shore what do you have and use?


I'm in southeast, looking to get an inflatable raft or tender or dinghy -- whatever you call them -- for my boat.
I've got a gillnet/longline boat that I use as a floating cabin and for hunting adventures in the off season but I've only ever borrowed my friend's Livingston or taken my canoe when I needed to get to shore.

I'd like something I can pretty easily fold up and lift in/out of one of my spare fish-holds and this would 95% of the time only be used in the ocean (with our lovely Ricky beaches)
I usually prefer rowing because it is more quiet. Maybe a tiny 2horse.

And most often take myself, hunting buddy and hopefully a dead animal, ideally in one trip.

Any recommendations you have I'd appreciate. I always value the opinion of my fellow Alaskan seafarers.

Thanks,

Al
