Custom Inflatable Dinghies & Tenders — Light, Packable, Retail-Proven

Small inflatable dinghies are the entry point of the category: light enough to carry, quick to inflate and simple to store — often the first boat that gets people onto the water. They are also the highest-volume SKUs in most retail ranges and the everyday tender of yacht harbors.

We manufacture dinghies under your brand around the airtender-270 (2.7 m) and airdock-330 (3.3 m) platforms — air-deck or slatted floors, complete packages with pump, oars and repair kit, and retail-ready cartons produced in-house.

Series FAQ

Air-deck floors (high-pressure inflatable panels) keep weight low and pack flat; slatted wooden or aluminum floors cost less and suit budget lines. Keel profiles, tube diameters and load ratings differ per model — specs are confirmed on the physical sample before volume production.

The standard package: dinghy, bench seat, hand pump, aluminum oars, repair kit, carry bag and printed user manual, packed in a retail carton. Contents can be upgraded or trimmed per market — electric pumps and higher-grade bags are common upgrades.

Samples ship in 10–15 days; production runs 30–45 days after confirmed PO and deposit. Standard volume batches start at 90–100+ pcs per configuration, pilot runs at 20–50 pcs and co-branded runs at 5–10 pcs.

Yes. Private-label artwork on tubes, seats and cartons is developed from your brand assets, verified on a physical sample, then locked as a BOM so repeat orders stay consistent. Retail barcodes, labels and manual versions per target market are handled within the same program.
