The likelihood of drowning for paddlers in a small boat depends on the waters they are traveling. There is usually a very small risk if the paddlers have life jackets.

A leading cause of death for paddlers in small crafts like canoes, kayaks, and rafts is capsizing, often exacerbated by improper clothing. When paddlers wear inadequate attire, such as cotton clothing, they can become hypothermic if they fall into cold water. Additionally, a lack of personal flotation devices (PFDs) increases the risk of drowning during a capsize. Proper gear and safety measures are crucial for reducing these risks.
But, according to statistics, paddlers in small crafts such as canoes, kayaks, and rafts are more than twice as likely to drown as individuals operating other types of vessels. http://www.boat-ed.com/or/course/p6-5_canoeing.htm

If you are wearing a lifejacket you will be all right. Canoes and kayaks are more easily tipped over than larger boats. A large raft will be stable. A small one will not.
