An inflatable dinghy tender is a versatile option for your cruising or racing yacht.  The tender can be towed or stowed as it can often be deflated and stored.  Some tenders can often carry a small outboard motor.  Inflation is often done via a foot pump or an electrical pump can be used.  Tenders often range from 2 metres to 5 metres long.  They usually have a slatted floor board system which can be removed when stowing.

Some smaller inflatable dinghy tenders have an integrated roller which reduces the need for a trolley but does reduce the performance slightly. Larger tenders are often in the form of rigid inflatable dinghies which are often more expensive and less versatile.
