"Rigid tenders are too heavy for my yacht" is a myth that costs owners a better boat. 🚫

Here's what's really happening. Old-school fiberglass skiffs were built with heavy hand-laid glass and wood cores. That's where the reputation came from.
Ultra Lite tenders are built completely differently:

✔️ Vacuum resin infusion, which removes excess resin weight while maximizing strength
✔️ Advanced woven composites, including Kevlar and E-glass
✔️ Structural foam coring throughout
✔️ Designed to approximate the dimensions of comparable inflatable tenders
The result is a rigid fiberglass tender engineered for the same davits and swim platforms your inflatable lives on now, without the tubes.

Curious whether a ULT fits your setup? Send us your davit specs and we'll tell you honestly.

Master craft is invisible when it's done right. You just feel it on the water. Every Ultra Lite Tender starts long before the gelcoat.

We partnered with Ocean 5 Naval Architects to design each hull. The CAD designs were milled into female molds on five-axis machines. Every boat is vacuum resin infused with vinyl ester resins, then finished with a custom soft rub rail extrusion we designed ourselves to protect your mother ship from dings and abrasions.

All of it happens here in Stuart, Florida. Built by people who live on this water and know exactly what it demands. That's the difference between a boat that fills a davit and a boat that earns its place on your yacht.

Most migration-season headaches start with the smallest boat on board. Here's what seasoned captains check before departure:

1️⃣ Lifting eyes and hardware points: inspect for stress, corrosion, and secure fastening before every davit lift.
2️⃣ Rub rail: confirm it's intact so it protects your mother ship's gelcoat at every boarding.
3️⃣ Outboard service: fresh fuel, plugs, impeller. A 10 minute check beats a 10 mile paddle.
4️⃣ Nonskid and deck: clean surfaces mean safer transfers with guests and gear.
5️⃣ Safety kit: PFDs, sound signal, light, and anchor line sized for your destination.

Save this for your pre-departure run. Share it with the captain who always says "it'll be fine." 😉

October on the Treasure Coast hits different 🌅

The air softens. The water glasses off at dawn. And the fall migration begins, as yachts start their run south down the ICW toward winter cruising grounds.

Every one of those mother ships needs a way to reach shore: the sandbar, the dinner reservation, the fuel dock, the quiet anchorage nobody else can get to. That's where we come in. Ultra Lite rigid fiberglass tenders are built right here in Stuart, Florida, for owners who treat the tender as part of the voyage, not an afterthought.

ULT Tenders vs. Inflatables

In comparing ULT Tenders to inflatables, the advantages of rigid boats become evident. With a longer lifespan, resistance to leaks, and enhanced efficiency due to better running surfaces, ULT Tenders outshine inflatables. Their design aligns with the dimensions of comparable inflatable tenders, providing a superior alternative for durability and performance.

This sweet ULT300 in Aqua Mist is ready for its new home! Will you be the lucky one to scoop her up?

The ULT 300, measuring 10 ft., exemplifies rigidity, lightness, and efficiency in yacht tenders. Crafted with a high-performance gel coat exterior, advanced woven composites (Kevlar and E glass), and structural foam coring, this rigid boat is manufactured using a vacuum resin infusion process with vinyl ester resins. The result is a boat that prevents osmosis and blistering while ensuring optimal strength and lightness. All hardware points are meticulously reinforced.

Dock coffee, then dock inspection.

There's coffee, and then there's dock coffee at 7am in Stuart, checking out every tender tied up around you.

If you're the one everyone stops to ask about, "wait, what tender is that?", you already know the ULT difference. Rigid, lightweight, unmistakable.
