A seaworthy balsa raft is a floating structure made primarily from balsa wood, known for its lightweight and buoyant qualities. Designed for stability and safety, it is capable of withstanding ocean conditions while providing a reliable platform for transport or emergency situations. The construction typically involves securing balsa logs in a way that ensures durability and resistance to water damage. Such rafts are often utilized in survival scenarios, exploration, or recreational activities on water.

Balsa wood is extremely light in weight, which is why it is used for the construction of model airplanes, but it's also a bit pricey, which would rule it out as raft material for most people. However, a Balsa wood raft would be very strong, and due to it's light weight, it would be extremely easy to carry overland when bypassing waterfalls or rapids too dangerous to run through. (This is called a "Portage" by we canoeists and Kyakers.) If ya have the money, go for it !
