A float master (12) for a watercraft (14) comprising a telescopic arm (16). A structure (18) is for securing a first end (20) of the telescopic arm (16) to a deck (22) of the watercraft (14). An inflatable raft (24) is provided. A component (26) is for attaching the inflatable raft (24) to a second end (28) of the telescopic arm (16). A facility (30) connected to the telescopic arm (16) is for extending the telescopic arm (16) in an angular direction down towards a body of water (32) about the watercraft (14). An assembly (34) connected to the inflatable raft (24) is for inflating the inflatable raft (24) in the body of water (32) after the telescopic arm (16) is completely extended, so that the inflatable raft (24) will stabilize the watercraft (14) in an upright position within the body of water (32).
