What is a Tender?
In the boating industry, a tender is a smaller vessel on your yacht used to service the larger vessel. Tenders are often used when anchored at sea or moored far from shore, making quick trips to shore convenient.
Why Tenders are Essential
Tenders are crucial for:
- Quicker and easier supply runs
- Picking up guests from the dock or shore
- Entertainment, such as cruising small coves and bays
- Visiting neighboring yachts in the harbor
- Lifesaving purposes when no other dedicated lifesaving vessels are on board
General Yacht Tender Safety Tips
Ensure safety by adhering to these protocols, focusing on having the right equipment on board at all times:
- Be aware of the tides and weather forecast for your planned use of the tender, and plan accordingly.
- Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations, especially regarding the size of your outboard motor and load limits (i.e., don’t overload your boat with occupants or supplies).
- Always wear a lifejacket.
- Always use a kill cord for your outboard.
- Check your fuel levels before setting off.
- Service the engine seasonally and inspect for damages.
