The ULT tenders were designed by Ocean 5 Naval Architects and are currently available in two different sizes. The ULT300 is 10 ft. and the ULT 380 is 12.5 ft. They are rigid boats designed as yacht tenders with excellent load carrying capabilities, stability, and efficient operation. The construction consists of a high performance gel coat exterior, advanced woven composites (Kevlar and E glass), structural foam coring throughout and is manufactured using a vacuum resin infusion process with vinyl ester resins . The vinyl ester resins prevent osmosis and blistering and the vacuum infusion process insures the lightest strongest boat possible. All hardware points are reinforced.

Standard features include a fine entry with multiple chines to promote stability and a large delta plane to promote easy planing, Seadeck topsides for comfort and a good nonskid surface. There are stainless steel tie downs, one in the bow and two on the transom. There are stainless steel lifting eyes inside the boats for davits or cranes. Custom EPDM extruded rub rail provides for maximum protection to the mother ship. Bench seats are on seat rails allowing repositioning or removal for special tasks. There are three sets of recessed deck cleats. Texiline storage bags with bungeed handles provide dry storage under the gunnels. Fuel lines run to the cuddy to allow a forward fuel tank for better weight distribution. All boats come with a collapsible paddle.

Compared to an inflatable tender the rigid boat has MANY advantages. It will last longer than any hypalon or vinyl boat which tends to deteriorate fairly quickly from UV rays. It will not leak as most inflatables slowly lose air over time or quickly lose air after contacting a reef or barnacle at a dingy dock. Inflatable boats have flexible tubes that create parasitic drag . The rigid boat is much more efficient with much better running surfaces meaning faster planing with lower horsepower than any inflatable. The ULT tenders are designed to the approximate dimensions of comparable inflatable tenders.

The ULT 300 planes easily with a 300 lb payload and a 9.8 hp carburated Tohatsu motor.

The Ultra Lite 300 can accept power options up to 15 hp Max.

Tohatsu and Mercury Outboards of 9.8 to 15 hp are available and In Stock.
