The benefits of a plastic tender yacht
Choosing a plastic tender has some serious advantages over traditional materials like polyester or aluminum. Whaly boats are made from rotationally molded HDPE (high-density polyethylene), a material known for its toughness, UV resistance and flexibility.
Unlike fiberglass, polyethylene doesn't crack or suffer from osmosis. It can handle rough treatment, bumps against docks or rocky shores without damage. The colour is embedded in the material, so it won’t fade easily. And since it's fully recyclable, you're also making an environmentally responsible choice.
Using a Whaly as a tender Yacht
Whether you're transferring passengers, supplies or heading ashore, a Whaly makes the ideal tender yacht. Need something easy to row? Go for a model without engine. Looking for extra power? Choose a tender with outboard motor. The sturdy transom is built to support a range of engine sizes.
Whaly boats are self-draining (depending on the model), so rainwater drains automatically. This means less hassle, and more time for what matters: enjoying the water. Whether you operate in saltwater or freshwater, a Whaly low maintenance tender will save you time and costs for years to come. Looking for a strong, low-maintenance and safe tender yacht?

Why is a Whaly a good alternative to an inflatable dinghy?
Whaly boats are made from polyethylene, a highly durable and impact-resistant material. This makes them much more rigid and robust than inflatable dinghies, giving you a more stable and reliable feel on the water. They are also ready to use at all times, without the need for inflation or careful handling.
