The ASTender 340 carbon

The rigid and lightweight tender

Thanks to its all-carbon construction, this tender weighs little more than an Optimist sailing dinghy! The ASTender is competing in the abundant market of RIBs. But with an enormous advantage: no punctures and greater durability.

This tender, made in Germany, would ideally be powered by a 10 to 15 hp outboard, and of course electric propulsion is also possible. Its deep-V hull has been designed to keep the crew as dry as possible – it can carry five people onboard, sat on the wide seats. The side protections and carrying handles allow for intensive use in any location.
