The story behind the build
Aerowave Swift Tender 230 SI
The smallest boat in the Swift Tender Series — a compact 2.3m sports monohull built as a serious yacht tender, cruiser runabout and shore-run boat. Deep-V hull profile, high-pressure woven air deck floor, and the same premium 1.2mm German VALMEX® PVC we use on our flagship Viper catamarans.

- Mooring transfers, shore-runs, dinghy work
- Calm coastal, estuary, harbour and river use

Why this boat
- Premium 1.2mm German VALMEX® PVC — the same industrial fabric used on commercial rescue and workboats
- Thermo-welded seams, not glued — no seam failures in the tropics
- High-pressure woven air deck floor — rigid underfoot, packs down small, no scratched gelcoat when stowed

Frequently asked questions
Will this fit on a yacht as a tender?
Yes — the 230 SI is built specifically for yacht tender use. It packs to 110×60×38cm and stows in most cockpit or lazarette lockers.
What outboard should I run?
The 230 SI is rated to a maximum of 4HP. A 2.5–3.5HP outboard is the practical sweet spot for tender work.
Is the fabric the same as your bigger boats?
Yes. Every Tender Series boat is built on 1.2mm German VALMEX® — the same commercial-grade PVC used on our flagship Viper range.
Need insurance for your boat?
