Yacht Charters with Tender Boat
A dedicated tender boat extends your range, providing shore access, island hopping, and water exploration.
A tender is a smaller boat carried aboard the yacht that serves as your personal water taxi, shore shuttle, and exploration vessel. Whether you want to visit a waterfront restaurant, explore a secluded beach, or simply zip around the anchorage, the tender gives you the freedom to go where the yacht cannot. Most tenders are rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) ranging from 10 to 20+ feet, equipped with outboard motors for reliable performance. On multi-day charters and superyacht experiences, the tender becomes indispensable for daily excursions, provisioning runs, and spontaneous adventures along the coast.
