Funhub Tender 18 Luxury RIB — Superyacht Tender with Carbon Tubes

The Funhub Tender 18 Luxury RIB is designed to serve as the primary tender and shore boat for yachts from 20 to 80 meters, combining the performance to reach shore quickly, the load capacity to transport a full guest complement, and the visual quality to complement any superyacht without appearing as an afterthought. The GRP hull is vacuum-infused with carbon/glass hybrid laminate for a hull weight of only 320 kg, allowing the tender to plane at 42 knots with the single 150hp Yamaha F150 four-stroke outboard while carrying ten adults with their provisions and equipment for a day ashore. The carbon fibre reinforced PVC tubes are 580mm in diameter — generous enough to provide substantial buoyancy reserve even with the full ten-person payload — and wrapped in a graphite-grey UV-stable coating that maintains its appearance through continuous tropical sun and salt exposure without fading or cracking. The helm station features a stainless steel wheel with leather grip, Garmin 7-inch chartplotter, VHF radio, and a bimini hood that deploys from the central T-top to provide shade for the helmsperson on beach runs. Forward seating for six on molded fiberglass cushioned seats with teak veneer accents and stainless steel grab handles at every position maintains passenger safety at speed. The Funhub Tender 18 fits into tender garages of 5.5m × 2.2m minimum — compatible with most superyacht garage specifications. Lifting eyes rated to 1,200 kg for davit and crane deployment. LOA: 5.4m. Beam: 2.2m.
