As you will see from the above specifications we have designed these boats to be very versatile by enabling them to have bigger petrol engines than other lightweight boats. This means they can be used as small fun inflatables as well as practical robust lightweight tenders.

Common Questions
Q: Why did you decide to make your own boats?
A: We simply kept being asked by our clients what we would recommend and we were not happy with any of the solutions on the market. Our research has shown that lifting over 25kg is hard for most of our clients and yet they still needed a rugged tender.
Q: Do you deliver UK wide
A:Yes apart from Guernsey and Jersey
Q: Do they work well with ePropulsion electric engines
A: Yes, this was also key to our thinking when we were looking at the specifications of the boat.
Q: Why don’t they have more color, stripes etc to make them looking stunning?
A: We wanted a functional boat that we could sell at a fair price. Adding bling to the boat will not add to its performance but would increase our costs and the price we could offer them.
