AB Inflatables is proud to officially announce the worldwide launch of the Mares 11VSX.

The Mares 11VSX has arrived to complement the most compact, practical, and comfortable sport console tender line on the market.

“This new tender was created under two simple but key concepts: versatility and practicality,” says Jaime Cristancho, AB Sales and Marketing Manager.

The Mares 11VSX comes equipped with a convenient removable lateral seat as standard, optimizing person capacity while allowing room for carry-ons, fishing, and scuba diving equipment.

The Mares 11VSX was designed considering its weight as a critical variable to guarantee its fitment to those yachts and sailboats platforms which are particularly sensitive to the weight of its tender. “All of our engineering efforts are applied to achieve a light-weight fiberglass console tender in a durable construction to ensure years of dependable service,” added Cristancho.

Its deck is made from a single unit of fiberglass, making for quiet navigation, easier
maintenance, and increased longevity. The bow locker has been designed to fit a six-gallon fuel tank with all the hoses to be placed underneath the deck, keeping it clean and free of obstacles.

“The addition of the portable fuel tank at the bow guarantees the best performance, considering the efficiency in the weight distribution,” concluded Cristancho.

When it comes to deciding about your new jet tender, we know there are many options out there for you to choose from, but there are some definitive reasons that make ABJET® the best option to consider on your next purchase.

DESIGN AND ERGONOMICS.

We should start by saying that every deck of ABJET® is made from a single unit of fiberglass. This means no added or moving parts, quiet navigation, easier maintenance, and increased longevity.

On the more compact models, AB Inflatables has set the standard of capacity by designing Jets with the best person capacity available. All the ABJET® portfolio comes with a double seating position on the pilot seat and many more in the bow area. This allows owners to engage in simple activities such as teaching the young how to drive the tender by staying at their side, enjoy a wonderful ride on a bay, or simply approach a dock as a couple. Two people seated comfortably at the rear while keeping unparalleled performance and total maneuverability was a feature sorely missing from the industry – by pooling all of our engineering capabilities, we have made that possible for our customers

Additionally, all floors have been designed to be completely flat and free of obstacles. There is no doubt that space is key on these boats, the ABJET® offers the best option available, meaning carry-ons on deck will no longer be an issue. That said, all our the ABJET® tenders have storage compartments as we believe that power and performance should be complemented always with comfort and safety – even the ABJET® 2,90 mts (9,6’) tender, the smallest of our portfolio, offers a convenient storage compartment.

From the ABJET® 350XP and up, you will find a unique design in which space on deck becomes the new benchmark. The ABJET® 350XP also includes a removable lateral seat for the owner to place it according to capacity needs. On the ABJET® 430XP and 465XP, the seating at the bow is distributed in a unique way that enables a walkway while optimizing weight distribution, keeping performance standards. The bow area can also be converted into a sunbed for those who want to relax and take in the rays.

In the safety and health arena, the ABJET® is the most reliable jet tender available; its throttle is ergonomically positioned just at the pilot’s side, this instead of having it in the console at front, will let the pilot to ride safely and comfortably, obtaining the greatest experience on the water.

 BRP ROTAX® OEM FOR THE COMPLETE JET PROPULSION SYSTEM.

One of the key aspects you should consider in your next jet tender evaluation is the propulsion system. On this matter, AB Inflatables takes the lead considering that ABJET® line comes equipped with the complete BRP-Rotax® propulsion system as OEM, which means that each ABJET® includes not only the Rotax® engine but also the BRP Jet Pump. The practical benefit of this is that not only does it obtain the best performance on the water, but it also provides the best coverage. This is because any SeaDoo® or BRP-JPS service station can potentially service your complete propulsion system no matter where you find yourself in the world.

It is also important to note that AB Inflatables has built its name under the main pillars of quality and restless dedication to service, guaranteeing peace of mind due to our experience of more than 50 years producing the tenders and RIBs of the best quality.

 BEST QUALITY MADE IN-HOUSE, NOWHERE ELSE.       

Not only do we oversee the entire production process, we also implement a tracking system that allows us to keep a record and sample for each of the 3000+ boats we produce annually. Our detailed control lets us track even the slightest detail (even telling us which operator was responsible for the attachment of a single lifting handle), ensuring you are provided with a consistently superior product, time and time again.

When considering your next jet tender, make sure you have a look inside your options when evaluating alternatives. We invite you to open the compartments, the engine room, and carefully analyze the fittings. It is not only about the bright and luxurious details on the outside but also the faultless work and finish on the inside.

When it comes to superior production, we don’t just follow the rules of the most renowned certification entities – we go above and beyond the call of duty. That’s why we are certified under the most stringent certifications and standards including NMMA, CE and ISO. This means we receive frequent visits from the certification representatives and its experts to validate we are applying only the best methods and procedures in our production processes.

All our certificates are available for our customers when buying an ABJET®.

 UNMATCHED CUSTOMIZATION CAPABILITIES.

As each of our products are made in house, we offer the flexibility of creating and designing a tender fit for your needs.

This includes customized upholstery and tube color options, dinghy coating and consoles along with electronics and your favorite gadgets among others. Most importantly, some of our customization options can be implemented with no additional costs to you.

• 10 Years Limited Warranty* on the inflatable tube.
• 5 years on valves and internal seams.

TOP 6 FEATURES THAT SETS AB INFLATABLES ALUMINUM TENDERS APART

When it comes to aluminum tenders, the options are abundant – one might even say, the options might even be overwhelming. It all comes down to what you prioritize – is it performance? Quality? Certification?

We’re here to make the job easier for you. AB Inflatables remains unrivaled in the market as the highest in all categories. Need proof? See for yourself.

Here are the top 6 features that set us apart in a sea of Aluminum tenders.

UNRIVALED IN INFLATABLE TUBE FABRIC GRADE

As part of our commitment to innovation, all of our smaller models ranging up to 10ft/3,10mts are designed using an 820 CSM Orca® Coated Fabric. Considered the heaviest and strongest fabric in their segment, this brings an extra element of protection and, with it, greater resistance, and durability. In practical terms, this means approximately 50% more tear and 20% extra UV resistance compared to other brands that just use a 215 CSM Fabric.

SUPERIOR POWDER COATING

All of our AB aluminum inflatable boats feature a Chrome-free Pretreatment before the powder coating application. Here’s why:

• Superior anti-corrosive resistance: All AB aluminum inflatable boats are made with the best marine grade aluminum which provides protection against corrosion. If your preference is to have your aluminum dinghy powder coated, our chrome-free pretreatment also provides additional anti-corrosive resistance.
• Superior Adherence: this chrome-free pretreatment technology helps to increase the adherence of the coating to the aluminum hull once it is applied.

We also believe in fulfilling your needs to the best of our ability, so we offer the option of having your Aluminum boat powder coated or in bare aluminum. If you want to have the outside of your tender bare aluminum and the inside coated, we can do it for you, too.

AB Inflatables works with Axalta coatings (previously known as DuPont Performance Coatings) – an industry mainstay for more than 150 years with customers in more than 130 countries.

GUARANTEED RESISTANCE AND DURABILITY

When it comes to a tender’s welding, there are many questions you should be asking: is it completely or only partially welded? Are there any irregularities in the shape of the welding? Is it even welded at all? Ultimately, the answers to these questions will determine the quality of the aluminum tender you are looking for.

More often than not, the aluminum structures of aluminum tenders available are not reinforced with welding, ultimately increasing the probability of serious short- and long-term damage. That’s why we make all of our AB Aluminum tenders completely welded – never partially – using regular shapes a faultless finish. This reinforces and ensures unmatched resistance, durability and longevity.

You will also notice that on all of AB’s lifting points are, not only reinforced, but vertically position to avoid any bending, ensuring a better and safer grip.

To ensure we achieve a superior grade of reinforcement, all of our welders have been specifically trained and certified under the renowned American Welding Society (AWS).

EFFICIENCY OF CAPACITY, COMFORT OF SPACE

The floors of our AB Aluminum open tenders offer the widest internal deck space compared to any other brand, with a 20% flatter surface. All designed with a high capacity bow locker – enough to comfortably fit a 6-gallon (24 liter) fuel tank – and a clean, flat deck, all of our tenders delivery efficiency, stability and comfort.

Whether you’re looking for a single floor deck like the Lammina Ultralight or a double floor like the Lammina Series, any model can be designed and manufactured to fit your space and capacity needs. Our Lammina Open Series AL and Alumina models, both double floored, are also created to have all fuel lines going directly under the deck from the bow locker to the transom – this means unobstructed floors and more space for provisions.

UNRIVALED IN PERFORMANCE

If you’ve ever experienced an AB Aluminum tender in action, you immediately notice the ease of maneuverability paired with the raw power we are known for. Designed and hand-crafted with a deep V bow that optimizes weight distribution, our tenders guarantee a stable and dry ride without sacrificing speed or performance – all with less fuel consumption.

CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE

The AB Inflatables Service team, along with more than 100 AB dealers and service centers around the world are ready to support you no matter where you are. Not only are our warranty and service policies best in the market, we have also made sure these policies come with international coverage – that means peace of mind, no matter what ocean you’re navigating.
