Carbon Yachts, a leading distributor of luxury marine vessels in Australia & New Zealand, is excited to announce the arrival of ASTenders to Australia. The highly anticipated range of ASTenders is now available at Carbon Yachts' premier Sydney showroom, offering yacht owners and enthusiasts a selection of the most innovative and luxurious tenders on the market.

ASTenders are celebrated for their innovation and superior craftsmanship, with hulls constructed entirely from carbon fibre, ensuring exceptional durability and performance. The range features a class-leading options list, including Flexiteek decking, custom RAL gel coat finishes, and a variety of steering consoles available across all models.

The range on display includes the lightweight ASTender 280, weighing just 30 kilograms, perfect for those needing a tender that is easy to handle and transport. The ASTender 340 range, including the revolutionary Revolve model, offers a unique folding motor design and impressive performance capabilities, with a top speed of 25 knots and a range of 120 nautical miles at 3 knots. The newly introduced ASTender 400, capable of reaching speeds of up to 37 knots, provides the ultimate combination of speed and comfort for discerning yacht owners.

Chris Hrones, from Carbon Yachts, emphasised the demand for tenders that match the luxury standards of their motherships: "We've seen a strong appetite among varied boat owners for dinghies that not only complement but also enhance the aesthetic and performance of their luxury yachts. The ASTenders range answers this demand by offering tenders that align with the sophistication and craftsmanship yacht owners expect. Whether it's the lightweight ASTender 280 or the high-performance ASTender 400, each model meets and exceeds these expectations."

Hrones also addressed the growing interest in electric options: "Over 90% of the enquiries we received leading up to this shipment's arrival asked about the electric options available for these tenders. Yacht owners are increasingly drawn to the sustainability aspect, but just as important to them is the desire to avoid having a smelly petrol outboard on the back of their boat. ASTenders' electric options provide a cleaner, quieter, and more enjoyable boating experience, which is exactly what our clients are looking for."
