Case study — a waterfront operator standardized its tender and activity fleet on Neptunor platforms with a heavy-duty rental spec, property-matched colors and per-site spare parts kits.
A waterfront hospitality group running beaches, lagoons and marinas across three properties came to us with a familiar problem: five boat brands, five repair procedures and a parts inventory nobody could reconcile. Guests saw the inconsistency; the maintenance team lived it.
The durability spec
Guest-use fleets fail differently from private boats — they are beached daily, overloaded occasionally and hosed down religiously. The group settled on a single heavy-duty rental spec across both platforms:
- rib-alloy-430 RIBs for exposed-water transfer and watersports duty, with reinforced tube sections and UV-stable fabric.
- airdock-330 air-deck dinghies for calm-bay rotations, beach landings and junior programs.
Hulls in welded marine aluminum; collars in high-tenacity PVC at heavier gauge than retail builds; every unit through the same 24-hour pressure-hold test at 0.35 bar that governs our production line.
Color matching as part of the build
The group wanted the fleet to read as part of each property, not as charter castoffs. Collar and hull colors were matched to the property palette during production — not painted afterwards — using approved color proofs signed off before the first batch ran. Graphics placement followed the same controlled approval chain we apply to brand liveries.
Spares kits sized to real failure rates
Instead of guessing at spares, the group ordered parts packs built from our fleet-service data: valves, patch kits, floor panels and oars, packed per site and per season. Because all boats share two platforms, one spares inventory now serves three properties, and any technician can service any boat.
Fleet pricing applied at the combined volume, deliveries staged to each property's opening calendar — and the maintenance team finally manages one standard, not five.
