Aluminium Yacht Tenders in Malaysia
A tender has to fit the yacht, the davit and the crew routine. DESNER aluminium RIBs span compact tiller tenders through to larger console tenders for guest and crew movement.
Typical requirements for this use
Lightweight handling
A tender should be easy to launch, recover and maneuvre single-handed or with a small crew, including in tight marina berths.
Davit and lifting considerations
Lifting eyes, slinging points and overall weight must match the yacht's crane or davit rating and the available stowage footprint.
Storage dimensions
Beam, length and freeboard determine whether the tender stows on deck, on a swim platform or in a garage without fouling railings or tenders.
Passenger movement
Tube height, deck space and boarding points affect how comfortably guests and crew step on and off at anchor or alongside.
Beach and shore access
A shallow draft and robust aluminium hull suit beach landings, reef approaches and shallow anchorages common around Malaysian waters.
Engine selection
Tender length and maximum power rating guide the outboard pairing — from a lightweight tiller to a steered console installation.
Main buying considerations
Overall length
Match tender length to stowage and intended passenger count. Longer tenders carry more but need more stowage and power.
Body weight
Confirm the bare-boat weight against your davit or crane capacity, then add engine, fuel and crew for the working load.
Passenger capacity
Use the model's maximum people rating as a ceiling, not a target — comfort and sea state usually reduce practical capacity.
Maximum power
The rated maximum outboard sets the published power ceiling. Engine selection should remain within that rating and be matched to the tender's intended load and use.
Internal space
Compare deck length and beam between tubes to judge seating, gear and crew movement at rest.
Tiller versus console
Compact tenders suit tiller steering; larger tenders benefit from a console for shelter, navigation and guest comfort.
Base RIB versus configured tender price
The displayed starting price is for the RIB only. A working tender typically adds an outboard, console, steering, seating, lifting points and safety equipment.

Specifications worth comparing
Use these as a starting checklist when comparing models for this application.
| Specification | Why it matters here |
|---|---|
| Overall length | Compare against stowage footprint and davit reach. |
| Body weight | Check against lifting capacity including engine and fuel. |
| Maximum people | Practical crew capacity in calm conditions. |
| Maximum power | Sets the outboard pairing ceiling for the tender role. |
Questions about yacht tenders
How do I select the correct tender size?
Start from the yacht's stowage space and davit or crane capacity, then weigh up typical passenger count and distance. Pen Marine can help match a DESNER model to your vessel.
Is the outboard engine included in the starting price?
No. The displayed starting price is for the RIB only. The outboard, console, steering, seating, lifting points and safety equipment are configured separately.
How do I confirm lifting compatibility?
Share the yacht's crane or davit rating, lift point spacing and stowage dimensions with Pen Marine. Final suitability depends on the yacht's available storage space, lifting capacity and intended operating conditions.
