Offshore Cruising Tenders

Offshore Cruising Tenders is a family-owned company based in the Bay of Islands, New Zealand. The company specializes in the design and construction of composite tenders and dinghies tailored for various types of boating, including full-time cruising and weekend recreational use.

The design emphasizes durability and structural integrity, utilizing composite materials that maintain their sturdiness over years of service. These tenders feature a unique closed-cell foam rub rail that provides full flotation and protects the hull of the main boat, as well as docks and wharves, from impact.

Each boat is built with a flat deck and a flat-bottom hull shape, allowing for early planing and fuel-efficient operation. This configuration provides a stable platform for boarding and increases storage options on deck or when the tender is stowed on duckboards.

Offshore Cruising Tenders operates a direct-to-customer sales model, working without intermediaries to manage quality and service. The company handles international exports and can arrange door-to-door delivery to marinas or boatyards globally.
