Abstract: A cockpit canopy seperably coupled to a superstructure of a boat selectively convertible to a flotation device comprising a buoyant member including an inner surface having a ridge extending outwardly therefrom to cooperatively form an auxiliary cockpit with at least one attachment element formed on each side of the buoyant member and a corresponding coupling element movable between a first and second position mounted on opposite sides of the superstructure to engage the corresponding attachment element when in the first position to secure the buoyant member to the superstructure and to disengage the corresponding attachment element when moved from the first position to the second position to release the buoyant member from the superstructure for deployment as a flotation device in a body of water.
