Specialist inflatable and fender systems for superyachts

Reliable execution, precise fit and controlled timelines. We support tenders, fender systems and critical inflatable equipment with a technical, no-surprises approach.

Operational reality.

We understand the constraints of superyacht operations. Our workflows are designed to integrate seamlessly with the demands of the bridge and deck departments.

BodhiNautic is a technical specialist accustomed to these specific requirements.

Limited Time Windows

Execution must fit within tight turnaround times between guest trips or during scheduled yard periods. We plan logistics to meet departure dates.

Zero Tolerance

Repairs must hold. There is no room for repeat failures once the tender is back in the garage or the guests are on board.

Custom Geometries

Standard parts rarely fit. We fabricate to exact dimensions for transoms, garages, and boarding platforms with precise interface management.

Controlled Variations

Predictable costs and no hidden surprises. We seek approval before any scope variation and document changes clearly.

Inflatable Toys & Platforms Inspection and Verification

Comprehensive inspection and technical assessment of inflatable slides, platforms and water toys commonly used on superyachts. This service focuses on identifying age-related degradation before it becomes an operational or safety issue. Most inflatable toys are built in PVC, where long-term exposure leads to adhesive ageing, plasticiser migration, weakening of bonded elements and progressive valve failures. Early detection is critical to avoid in-season breakdowns.

Bonded Elements

Assessment of bonded seams, glued accessories and high-stress areas.

Valve Systems

Valve systems inspection and slow-leak diagnosis.

Fatigue Detection

Identification of abrasion zones and material fatigue.

Custom Inflatable & Transom Fenders

Design, manufacturing and repair of bespoke inflatable and transom fender systems for superyachts. Each solution is engineered around the exact geometry of the vessel, accounting for repeated berthing cycles, loads and attachment interfaces. Standard products rarely fit correctly in superyacht environments. Our approach ensures proper alignment, controlled deformation and long-term durability.

  • Exact-fit solutions for complex transom geometries.
  • Designed for repeated heavy-duty use.
  • Controlled interfaces and attachment points.

Manufacturing

Hypalon Tube Manufacturing & Repair

Custom manufacturing and replacement of ORCA® Hypalon (CSM) tubes for tenders and RIBs. Hypalon remains the reference material for superyacht tenders due to its durability, UV resistance and long service life. Reinforcements, accessories and high-stress elements are integrated from the manufacturing stage to ensure a shipyard-level finish and structural reliability.

  • ORCA® Hypalon specialist fabrication.
  • Structural reinforcements integrated from the start.
  • Long-term durability and clean finish.

Branding

Logos & Registrations in Hypalon

Permanent application of logos, names and registrations directly in Hypalon material. Unlike vinyl or stickers, these markings do not peel, shrink or degrade over time. This ensures visual consistency with the mothership and a professional appearance throughout the tender’s service life.

  • Hypalon-applied graphics, not adhesive vinyl.
  • Long-lasting, UV-stable finish.
  • Clean integration with tube design.

Premium Synthetic Decking

Design, fabrication and installation of premium synthetic decking solutions for tenders and support craft. Decking systems are integrated carefully into the existing layout, ensuring proper drainage, edge detailing and durability under intensive use. We work with Evercor, PlasDECK and Deck X, selecting the most suitable system for each application.

  • Integrated into tender geometry.
  • Durable, low-maintenance solutions.
  • Evercor, PlasDECK, Deck-X and E-Dek systems.
Technology

3D Scanning & Digital Capture

High-precision 3D scanning and digital capture of complex geometries using advanced laser and handheld scanning systems. This technology is the same used internally for the design of custom transom fenders and inflatable solutions. Through collaboration with specialized scanning partners, we offer this service as part of our technical workflow or as a standalone solution.

  • High-accuracy digital capture.
  • Ideal for complex transoms and interfaces.
  • Supports precise design and fabrication.

Communication Workflow

Seamless Documentation & Reporting.

In the superyacht sector, information flow is critical. We provide detailed technical reports for every intervention, bridging the gap between Deck Officers, Captains, and Management Companies.

Internal Communication

Our reports serve as a translation layer, explaining technical issues clearly so Officers can present accurate data to Captains and Management.

Service Record & History

Every job is logged. This creates a permanent service history for the vessel, invaluable for future maintenance planning, insurance claims, or resale.
