Cabin Tender 600 — the ultimate tender cruiser

Our Naval Architect has developed a new Design Concept from the same family as the Cabin Tender 1100 of which a custom version is being built for a French Client. This tender cruiser is aimed at families or couples who want to host friends on their motorboat.

This 6m Tender, designed mainly for bays and inland waterways, has seating capacity for 8 to 10 persons when exploring the waterways with family or friends. The rear helmman position adds to the social aspect of this design.

This tender cruiser has an enclosed cabin houses a portable toilet and sleeping arrangement for 2 adults. It also has a great space for the kids to get out of the weather or have their own "cubby" to play in.

We have choosen to integrate the steerable Rim drive, which we visited at BOOT Dusseldorf 2026, for this tender cruiser, to keep the propulsion arrangement simple yet efficient and effective.

The robust aluminium construction is fully developable on this tender cruiser and can be built without having to get the sheets formed. All to speed up building and keeping the costs low. With a empty weight of only 1600 kg and a max. beam of 2.4m you could even trailer this tender cruiser on a single axle trailer.
