Inflatable Boats, Dinghies & Tenders

Inflatable dinghies and tenders are essential for getting ashore, running supplies and exploring from your yacht or cruiser. At Force 4 you’ll find a full range of inflatable boats, including lightweight slatted-floor models and rigid air-deck inflatables. Choose outboard-ready tenders from Seago, Aqua Marina and our own Windward range.

Whether you need a compact inflatable that stows easily below decks or a larger boat capable of carrying the whole crew and an outboard motor, there’s something here for every use and budget. Every model comes ready to go – complete with pump, oars, carry bag and repair kit.

Slatted floor inflatable boats

Slatted floor inflatables are the lightest and most compact option. They pack down small, making them ideal for stowing below decks or in a locker. A great option for single-handed use or occasional trips ashore.

Air deck inflatable boats

Air-deck inflatables give a more rigid feel underfoot and noticeably better performance under outboard power. The high-pressure inflatable floor creates a solid, stable base you can stand and move around on – the best all-round choice for regular use as a tender.

Choosing the right inflatable dinghy or tender

Outboard-ready tenders

Most inflatable boats in our range feature a rigid transom rated for a small outboard engine. Always check the boat’s maximum HP rating and load capacity to match your chosen outboard and typical crew size.

Tenders for sailing yachts

If you’re using your inflatable as a yacht tender from a swinging mooring or anchorage, prioritise stability, robust construction and easy launching. Air-deck models and larger slatted floor boats both work well in this role.

Size and capacity

Think about how many people and how much kit you’ll typically carry. A 2-person inflatable suits solo or paired use, while families and offshore cruisers usually favour 3–4 person models for extra space and stability.
