Aluminum Hull Tenders

ARIMAR Aluminum Hull Tenders

ARIMAR aluminum hull tenders combine a rigid aluminum hull with inflatable PVC tubes for yacht transfers, leisure trips and coastal use. The range includes Open and Sport Stile models with different sizes, layouts and engine requirements.

The Aluminum Hull Tenders range includes both ARIMAR Open and Sport Stile models.

First, the Open range focuses on practical deck space and everyday tender use. Sport Stile models, however, add more equipment for leisure and recreational boating.

In addition, all models combine an aluminum hull and floor with inflatable PVC tubes. Therefore, they provide a rigid platform while retaining the advantages of an inflatable tender.

Open or Sport Stile: Which Range Should You Choose?

ARIMAR Open models focus on practical yacht tender duties.

For example, the Open 360 and Open 420 include enlarged bow storage. They also feature EVA deck covering and removable bow cushions.

In addition, bench seating provides a simple and practical passenger layout.

Sport Stile models offer a different approach. They combine tender use with more recreational features.

For example, selected models include a built-in driver seat, storage and a sundeck. Moreover, the Sport Stile 360 and 460 include a bilge pump system.

The Sport Stile 460 adds even more equipment. It includes a built-in fuel tank and telescopic swim ladder.

Therefore, the best range depends on how the tender will be used.

Choosing the Right Aluminum Hull Tender

First, check the available storage space on the main vessel.

The category covers models from 320 to 460 cm. Therefore, available deck space and launching arrangements are important.

Next, consider passenger capacity. Different models are designed for different numbers of people.

Engine requirements also vary. For this reason, maximum power and shaft length must be checked before selecting an outboard.

In addition, compare the internal deck space and storage layout. These factors can make a major difference during regular use.

When choosing a tender, consider:

Passenger capacity

Overall dimensions

Internal dimensions

Maximum engine power

Required shaft length

Storage arrangement

Seating layout

Onboard equipment

As a result, the selected model will better match the yacht and intended use.

Yacht Tender and Recreational Use

ARIMAR aluminum hull tenders are suitable for regular yacht-to-shore transfers.

The rigid aluminum floor provides a firm platform for passengers. Meanwhile, the inflatable tubes surround the hull and provide the typical RIB-style layout.

Open models are particularly suitable for practical tender duties.

Sport Stile models, on the other hand, provide additional leisure features. Therefore, they can suit owners who want more comfort during recreational trips.

Onboard Storage and Comfort

Storage differs between the Open and Sport Stile ranges.

The Open models include enlarged bow lockers. In addition, they provide bench seating for practical passenger use.

Sport Stile models have a more developed deck layout. For example, the Sport Stile 360 and 460 include a driver seat with storage.

Moreover, these models include a sundeck with cushions. As a result, the forward area becomes more suitable for leisure use.

The Sport Stile 460 offers the most extensive equipment in the range. It also includes a 45 litre built-in fuel tank and telescopic stainless steel swim ladder.

Outboard Engine Selection

Each aluminum hull tender has its own engine requirements.

First, check the maximum permitted horsepower. Next, confirm the required shaft length.

The Sport Stile models use long-shaft engines. However, engine requirements can differ in the Open range.

Therefore, always check the individual product specifications before buying an outboard.

Gaelix Marine Service can assist with matching the tender to a suitable engine.

Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance helps keep the tender ready for use.

After marine use, rinse the hull and deck when appropriate. In addition, check the tubes, valves and visible surfaces.

EVA deck areas should remain clean. Otherwise, dirt and residues may reduce grip.

Models with a bilge pump should also have the system checked regularly.

Finally, inspect seats, cushions and towing points. Replacement parts should always match the specific ARIMAR model.

Accessories and Replacement Parts

Selected ARIMAR tenders can be equipped with additional accessories.

For example, compatible options may include covers, storage solutions and model-specific fittings.

However, compatibility can vary between models. Therefore, always check the product reference before ordering.
