Sandbarhopper Boats ... the ultimate yacht tenders !



Tired of leaky inflatables or unstable small boats ? Do you have a yacht capable of sleeping six but can only take four guests in your tender ? Don't want to spend a lot of money on a tender you only use occasionally? Read on...

We developed our boats after years of searching for the right tender and coming short. Inflatables have some advantages but as we all know require maintenance and are prone to leaking and punctures. Traditional small boats tend to be unstable, offer limited capacity and can also be pricey despite their shortcomings.

The original design for our tenders came from a very simple idea : recycling a pair of old Hobie Cat hulls to build a simple and inexpensive homemade tender for our 53' footer motoryacht; it worked beyond expectations and numerous inquiries from fellow boaters prompted us to design a completely new hull with all composite construction.

Our boats, available in 11 and 13 feet models, bring you the stability of a catamaran despite a reasonable beam which makes them easy to store on small or mid-sized yachts. While originally designed to be used as yacht tenders, there is no reason they can't be used for fishing, or just cruising lakes, bays or rivers.

Why a Sandbarhopper Tender ?

- Lightweight foam core composite construction with no structural wood,
- Nav lights, horn, bilge pump, remote steering all included,
- Sealed foam-filled twin hulls and bottom for safety,
- Six passenger capacity (13' model),
- Roomy design with anchor locker, tank and cooler storage,
- Stability of a catamaran,
- Efficient hull design,
- Excellent value.

...And it's unique : it's not just another RIB or boring little boat ! !
