The True Kit Advantage
EFFICIENT
More efficient means less drag. Less drag means a smaller, light engine and less fuel.
LOAD CARRYING
Large pontoon tubes will effortlessly carry the loads demanded of yacht tender.
UNPARALLELED STABILITY
Forget about the usual tippy feeling when climbing into a True Kit inflatable catamaran.
"Really pleased with my True Kit Navigator. Great size, easy to row, very stable & easy to get in and out of. Fits really well on the sugar scoop stern on my 10m Beneteau."
IMPROVE YOUR LIFE ONBOARD
Not only is it easy to lift on deck, thanks to not having a V-Hull, it sits perfectly on deck, with many D-Rings to tie down.
Perfect for pulling up on to a beach, or easily lifting on deck with one person.
Thanks to the stability and large bow, it makes getting in and out of the dinghy simple for everyone.
Thanks to the stability and the build quality, it makes driving and manoeuvring the dinghy easy and safe.
EVERY TRUE KIT IS BUILT TO LAST
THERMO-WELDED
Seams are regularly the Achilles Heel for inflatable boats, but not with the True Kit range. We thermo-weld all of our seams for a bond that is stronger than the fabric itself. Don’t settle for glued seams.
TRU-ALU TRANSOM
Our transom ensures direct power transfer from the engine to the boat with a strong, lightweight aluminum design. Finished with a marine-quality AkzoNobel powder coat, it’s built to last for years to come.
VALMEX FABRIC
For top quality and durability, we use Valmex® fabric by Mehler, Germany’s leading textile producer. Valmex® offers superior flexibility, UV resistance, and airtightness, making it ideal for long-lasting inflatables.
THE ULTIMATE YACHT TENDER
THE NAVIGATOR
Incredibly lightweight, highly stable, huge load carrying capacity and built to last.
ReCOMMENDED AS A MULTI-USE TENDER

If you are into fishing, diving and getting to remote surf spots - as well as all the usual tender demands - go for the Discovery

WANT TO KNOW MORE?
Which model is best as a tender?
The Navigator was designed from the ground up to be the perfect tender. This dingy offers incredible safety and stability, while also allowing you to load it up with people and gear.
What is the difference in the Discovery and Navigator?
The main difference is in the bow section. The Navigator is primarily designed for yacht tender purposes and has a high volume tube running all the way around the bow. This means you can load the dinghy up with more people and gear and have them close to the bow. The Discovery has parallel tubes which are tapered towards the bow. This creates less volume in the bow area which increases performance and also allows the bow to be pushed close to the water when weight is placed there.
Is it easy to deflate and pack down?
Absolutely! It was fundamental that our boats are incredibly fast and easy to pack, and inflate. So it is perfect if you are ending your season and need to store inside, or you are heading off on a long passage and need the foredeck to be clear.
Do you deliver worldwide?
Yes, we regularly ship our boats all over the world, so no matter where you are based, or where you are going to, we can get there. Our couriers will work with you for any customs and fees expected on arrival.
Is there a warranty?
We offer a 5 year limited warranty on new boats. Warranty terms can be found in the Warranty page on our website True Kit Warranty. Boats built with Valmex® 20 years ago can still be seen zipping around demonstrating exceptionally long life expectancy.
