Frequently asked questions

How much does a used dinghy or tender cost?

Small hard dinghies often sell for 300 to 1,200 dollars, quality inflatable and RIB tenders run 800 to 4,000 dollars, and larger RIBs with motors climb higher. Whether an outboard is included is often the biggest price factor.

What should I check on a used inflatable dinghy?

Inflate it fully and check for air leaks, soft seams, and fabric wear or sun damage, and inspect the transom on models made to take a motor. On RIBs, check the fiberglass hull for cracks. Confirm the floorboards, oars, and any pump are included, since an inflatable that will not hold air is a costly repair.

What size dinghy do I need?

Size the dinghy to how many people you ferry and to your storage, whether that is davits, deck chocks, or a garage. A tender for a couple can be small and light, while a family needs more capacity and usually a motor. Match the size and weight to your boat's davits or deck before buying.
