South Atlantic Tender

The design: a classic plumb bow tender with a nice sheer line and a high free board side profile.
Combine it with a wide planshape with sharp water release edges promoting an early planing and an easily driven hull with the least horse power possible.
Build it light, make it dry and stable.
South Atlantic Tenders brings innovation, technology and real life cruising experience with a dash of kiwi ingenuity to the tender market.

How to choose the right tender for you
South Atlantic Tenders has been built to maximize power with minimal weight. We spent a lot of brain power and time building a light boat so you can get places efficiently, safely and dry. Drag/wheel it up the beach rather than anchor out. Large engines are heavy to handle and potentially dangerous in inexperienced hands on our tenders. Things to think about before ordering the right size SA Tender:

How many passengers do you usually carry?
If on average is only 2 pax we recommend the SA300. If 4 pax plus, we recommend the SA330 or SA350. For full time cruising or extended periods, the extra length is useful for provisions, exploration, toys and water length makes the ride more efficient. Keep in mind we don’t have “pontoons” therefore our internal volume and space far exceeds your equivalent length of an inflatable.

What HP outboard to use?
8hp (SA300) and 15hp (SA330 & SA350) are our preferred maximum HP for our range of tenders. The lighter engine the better! Electric outboards work really well with our concept. We have many clients using Torqeedo outboards.

How do you store your tender?
Deck, davits, duckboards, cradle and cranes… we have seen it all! Our 6 standard lifting points (forward and back of thwart seat and transom) can service most of your needs. We can add custom made carbon pad eyes through the hull for the trickiest of the davits. If using davits all you need to do is provide the distance of the falls on your davits and we will be able to make an assessment of what is needed.
