Inflatable Tenders, RIBs, Dinghies & Tender Accessories

Shop inflatable tenders, RIBs, dinghies, tender accessories, tender pumps, oars, covers, davits, trailer parts, and tender or trolling motors for ship-to-shore transport.

Tender Check

Confirm tender length, passenger capacity, weight, stowage space, davit fit, motor rating, floor type, tube material, and accessory compatibility before ordering.

Ask Parts Desk

Tender setup depends on boat size, storage, lifting method, beaching needs, motor power, inflation pressure, and local requirements. Confirm fit before purchase.

Fitment

Match the Tender to the Boat and Use

The right tender depends on passenger count, payload, stowage, lifting method, beach landings, tube material, floor type, motor rating, and how it will be launched from the mothership.

Selection

Think About Storage and Launching

A tender needs to fit both the cruising plan and the mothership. Check weight, davit limits, deck storage, transom rating, folded dimensions, and how easily it can be launched by the crew.

Before ordering, measure storage space, lifting points, transom height, motor rating, tube diameter, and existing accessory mounting points.

ACC

Accessories

Pumps, oars, covers, seats, repair kits, davit hardware, and storage gear keep the tender ready for use.

MTR

Tender Motors

Tender and trolling motors help move dinghies quietly, efficiently, and with better control around docks and anchorages.

Accessories

Plan Inflation, Stowage, Lifting, and Propulsion

A reliable tender setup includes the right pump, oars, painter line, lifting hardware, cover, repair kit, fuel or battery plan, and a safe way to launch and recover the boat.

Motor and batteryConfirm thrust, shaft length, battery capacity, charging, cable routing, and motor storage.
Inflation and pressureUse the correct pump, valve adapters, pressure, and tube-care routine for the tender material.
Stowage and liftingCheck davit capacity, lifting eyes, folded size, cover fit, and tie-down points.
Repair readinessCarry patches, adhesive, valve tools, oars, and basic hardware for common tender issues.

Care

Tender Gear Needs Routine Care

Tender reliability depends on clean tubes, correct pressure, protected fabric, sound oars, good valves, secure lifting points, and a ready pump or motor.

Troubleshooting

Small Tender Issues Grow Quickly

Low pressure, chafe, UV damage, valve leaks, loose hardware, or worn oars can turn a simple shore run into a problem.

Inspect tubes, seams, valves, transom, floor, painter line, lifting points, and motor mount before every longer trip.

FAQ

Tenders & Accessories Questions

What size tender do I need?

Start with passenger count, payload, storage space, davit capacity, and the distance you typically travel from boat to shore. Bigger tenders carry more but are heavier to lift and store.

What is the difference between an inflatable tender and a RIB?

An inflatable tender may have an air, slat, or roll-up floor, while a RIB uses a rigid hull with inflatable tubes. RIBs often perform better but usually weigh more and need more storage space.

Should I use oars, an outboard, or an electric tender motor?

Oars are useful backup propulsion. Outboards and electric motors provide better range and control. Choose based on tender rating, transom height, weight, charging or fuel needs, and how far you travel.

What tender accessories should I carry?

Common essentials include a pump, oars or paddles, painter line, repair kit, cover, bailer, light, safety gear, and hardware for your launch or davit setup.
