Yacht Tender Custom Options
ROAM offers the most versatile platform for superyacht tenders.
Dive into a snapshot of the custom options we offer.
Hull and deck options
At ROAM Boats, we understand that no two adventures are the same. That’s why we offer three hull and deck options—aluminium, carbon, and fibreglass—each tailored to different performance needs and personal preferences.
Aluminium
The go-to choice for robust, adventure-ready boats. Aluminium hulls are exceptionally durable, making them perfect for demanding expeditions, remote cruising, or heavy-duty support roles. Their resilience and ease of repair make them ideal for yachts venturing off the beaten path.
Carbon Fibre
When performance matters most, carbon is unmatched. Its lightweight properties deliver faster speeds, superior fuel efficiency, and an uncompromising ride. Carbon is the ultimate option for owners focused on peak performance and cutting-edge design.
Fibreglass
A versatile classic, fibreglass strikes a balance between performance, comfort, and cost-efficiency. It’s well-suited to day boats, tenders, and leisure craft where practicality and aesthetics align. Its smooth finish and adaptable form offer a premium look without sacrificing durability.
Propulsion
When it comes to powering your ROAM, we offer propulsion options designed to suit your adventure style and operational needs. Each setup delivers distinct advantages, ensuring the right balance of performance, efficiency, and maintenance simplicity.
Inboard diesel
Choose between a sterndrive or jetdrive for robust power and proven reliability. Sterndrives offer precision handling and speed, while jetdrives deliver exceptional shallow-water capability and reduced draft, perfect for exploring remote coastlines.
Inboard electric
Embrace cutting-edge technology with our fully electric inboard option. Experience near-silent cruising, zero emissions, and reduced operating costs—ideal for eco-conscious owners seeking a quiet, sustainable on-water experience.
Outboard petrol
For those prioritising versatility and straightforward maintenance, outboard petrol engines provide responsive performance and easy serviceability. Their modular design supports quick swaps and simple upgrades, keeping you on the water with minimal downtime.
Beachlander bow
Our beachlander modification, available in manual and hydraulic configurations, consists of fold-down steps integrated into the boat’s bow.
With a two-step configuration enhanced by an optional boarding pole for guest comfort, the beachlander bow enables direct beach access while keeping you dry.
Crafted using the finest stainless steel hinges fabricated in-house, each step boasts a wraparound seal for unmatched water tightness. Adding a recovery line simplifies operation, promising effortless transitions at drop-off or collection.
Bow and stern thrusters
Our bespoke modification options include the installation of cutting-edge bow and stern thrusters, enabling your boat to navigate with unparalleled precision.
With propellers strategically positioned beneath the bow or stern, the boat can move seamlessly across any axis, simplifying navigation in confined spaces.
Our offerings cater to both new construction and retrofits, and we collaborate with respected brands like BlueNav, Lewmar, and Vetus.
DPS – Dynamic Positioning System
A Dynamic Positioning System represents the pinnacle of boat positioning technology.
Typically employed on larger tenders, this automated system uses GPS to maintain the boat’s position effortlessly. With the integration of joystick control, the system ensures ultra-efficient operation by engaging the drive minimally, conserving energy while providing steadfast stability.
It’s precious for crew members during extended waiting periods, offering unparalleled reassurance. The crew can confidently rely on the system to hold the tender in the desired location, regardless of the wait duration, ensuring safety and precision in every manoeuvre.
Empirbus Digital Switching
The Empirbus Digital Switching system, a cutting-edge Raymarine automation solution that redefines onboard automation, can enhance our boats.
This sophisticated system seamlessly manages boat functions, including lighting, pumps, anchors, batteries, trim tabs, and bow thrusters—directly from a modern, intuitive touchscreen interface. Streamlining the helm, the Empirbus eliminates the clutter and complexity of traditional switches.
Understanding the paramount importance of reliability, however, we integrate a backup to the primary systems to ensure functionality even in the event of power loss.
While some purists may prefer traditional switches, the Empirbus system offers crew a leap forward in convenience and personalisation.
Interceptor Trim Tabs
Our boats can be equipped with an advanced levelling solution: trim tab interceptors.
Traditional trim tabs, mounted beneath the transom, pivot downwards to create lift, enhancing planing efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. They adeptly correct listing, mitigating pitch and roll by generating upward force at the stern. Interceptors, however, introduce a revolutionary vertical deployment mechanism.
Extending perpendicularly from the hull, they harness hydrodynamic pressure to create lift, offering a sleek, efficient alternative for optimal performance. Our experts are on hand to recommend the perfect trim tab solution tailored to your boat’s specifications and usage.
Carbon swim ladder
Built by our sister company, Shipyard Supply Co, a Carbon Swim Ladder is the perfect high-quality, stylish addition to our ROAM tenders.
Crafted from lightweight carbon fibre, this ladder combines incredible strength with ultra-sleek aesthetics, making it an attractive and functional accessory for any tender.
Its durable construction ensures stability, while its ergonomic design provides easy access to the water, enhancing your onboard experience.
The ladder’s foldable structure allows for compact storage, and its carbon finish elevates the overall look of your tender. Ideal for superyachts, the SSCo Carbon Swim Ladder delivers both practicality and elegance, adding a premium touch to your tender’s capabilities.
Powder-coated bow ladder
Our removable/foldable bow ladders offer an elegantly simple solution for beach landings, providing a traditional alternative to the modern beachlander bow.
Designed to effortlessly integrate into your boat’s bow through precisely fitted sockets, these ladders are available in either carbon or stainless steel, ensuring durability and strength. With a choice of a three- or four-step configuration, each ladder is handmade to order.
Ideal for the adventurous, this modification invites guests to embrace the elements with a splash of excitement and a touch of the sea.
Deck lashing points
Our custom deck lashing points—padeyes—offer a smart and practical solution for securing equipment on your boat. These tie-down points are designed to be simple, removable, and flush-fitting, ensuring a sleek appearance and safety on deck.
Crafted from the finest stainless steel for durability and strength, each padeye is engineered to meet your requirements.
Whether for securing tenders, water toys, or safety equipment, our custom lashing points provide a secure anchor. They blend seamlessly with the deck’s aesthetic while offering unparalleled functionality and versatility.
Folding boarding steps
Our folding boarding steps, ingeniously built into the bulwark, offer a seamless and elegant solution for sideboarding. They easily bridge the gap between the deck and gunwale, guaranteeing comfort and reassurance for guests and crew alike.
Our folding steps can also be made removable. Handcrafted from your choice of carbon, stainless steel, or aluminium, they enhance this boarding experience further. We recommend pairing them with a carbon boarding pole from Shipyard Supply Co to combine functionality with aesthetic appeal for comfortable boarding and disembarking.
Electric windlass with remote control
Our electric windlass modification promotes effortless anchoring. This system features an ingeniously concealed bow roller extension arm within the locker.
We use a removable pin for ease of setup, and on larger boats, the extension arm can be mechanically folded, offering unparalleled convenience and efficiency.
The highlight of our electric windlass is its remote-controlled operation, allowing for seamless anchor management from anywhere on the boat.
Search and floodlights
Our boats can be equipped with ultra-bright LED search and flood lights.
Typically mounted on our T-Top for optimal coverage and visibility, these lights are indispensable for nighttime manoeuvers (not least for search and rescue missions).
With an IP66 rating, our lights are built to endure all conditions, instilling confidence in even the poorest visibility.
12V water heater / 11 lt
Our 12V water heater links directly to a freshwater tank, offering the convenience of a hot shower onboard.
Although suited for cabin use, this versatile addition also allows warm water access via the transom hose, perfect for rinsing sandy feet when reboarding.
Compatible with a minimum 60-litre cold water tank, it is efficiently housed within the boat’s mechanical space. Powered by a 12V DC supply, it’s a practical enhancement for home-from-home comfort.
Electric toilet under console
Our boats offer the sophisticated option of a compact, electric toilet discreetly installed under the console. This toilet system can operate with either freshwater or saltwater.
It features electric and manual flush options, and where space is at a premium, we offer the integration of a freshwater folding sink.
An effluent holding tank with a pump-out system on the deck guarantees responsible waste disposal, adhering to marine environmental standards.
Esthec decking
Our boats can be outfitted with Esthec decking, a cutting-edge, synthetic alternative to traditional teak.
This Dutch innovation offers a broad palette of colours complemented by customisable caulking designs. It allows for the incorporation of unique text and logos to reflect your personal or brand identity.
Esteemed for its durability, Esthec is hard-wearing, color-fast, and splinter-free, ensuring a pristine appearance with minimal maintenance. Its easy-to-clean surface enhances the deck’s functionality and environmental footprint, providing a sustainable option without sacrificing the luxury or aesthetic of natural wood.
Bow spray dodger
Our bow spray dodger is a traditional mod for those striving to keep passengers at the front completely dry. Thanks to our hull and tube shape, a ROAM boat offers an exceptionally dry ride; however, a spray dodger helps extend the versatility of our boats without a cabin.
Our spray dodgers are functional solutions that comprise a canvas tent shaped by a durable stainless steel or carbon fibre frame. They are designed for compact storage in a forward locker or under the bow seats. The canvas, seamlessly attaching to the rub rail, is available in high-quality WeatherMAX, Stamoid, or Sunbrella fabrics, offering unparalleled resilience against the elements.
7-12” MFD chart plotter
From GPS navigation and radar to engine data, lighting, air conditioning, and entertainment, our preferred multi-functional MFD chart plotters offer a bird’s eye view of all onboard systems.
Facilitating smart automation with custom modes tailored to individual preferences, plotters are available in both button and touchscreen interfaces. Ranging from 7 to 12 inches, two screens will often suffice, but in some circumstances, a trio can be accommodated.
We provide selections from leading brands like Garmin, Raymarine, Simrad, and Furuno, ensuring quality and reliability for discerning owners seeking an integrated solution.
Console cover
Our handmade, zip-up console covers are engineered to shield your tender’s helm station from the harsh elements when not in use.
These covers, tailored to fit the contours of your console, offer unparalleled protection against sun damage. Their waterproof design is especially advantageous for the crew, maintaining the console’s polished condition underneath.
Full cover
We offer two varieties of overall boat covers tailored to your storage environment: yard or garage. Our yard covers are designed with durability in mind, offering comprehensive protection for your boat against the elements.
These heavy-duty covers can envelop your vessel in a full wraparound. Alternatively, from the fenders or rub rail upwards, safeguarding it during extended outdoor storage periods.
Conversely, our garage covers cater to indoor protection, focusing on shielding your boat from dust. For the epitome of indoor care, we offer silk garage covers, combining lightweight with luxury. Both options are available in an array of colours to seamlessly integrate with your boat’s aesthetic.
Awning vehicle cover
Our landing craft tenders can be equipped with a removable awning cover tailored to safeguard your vehicles, equipment and passengers from the sun.
This cover features lightweight carbon poles seamlessly integrated into the bulwark for easy installation.
The awning is crafted from premium fabrics – WeatherMAX, Stamoid, or Sunbrella – each renowned for its durability and protective qualities.
Docking lights
Our optional docking lights offer a blend of functionality and elegance.
These low-profile, surface-mounted LED lights are not just limited to the bow; they can also be placed on other faces to improve visibility during nighttime manoeuvres.
With an IP66 rating, docking lights ensure stylish and reliable illumination when you need it most.
Towing bollards
Engineered from stainless steel and bolted directly to the bow or transom, our towing bollards offer a versatile hard point for securing tow lines.
Particularly useful for boats operating with a kedge anchor.
External petrol tank with transfer
Our auxiliary petrol tank modification is an invaluable addition for enthusiasts of extended adventures.
This enhancement is particularly suited to our larger landing crafts. It is designed to facilitate on-the-go refuelling of jet skis and petrol tenders, ensuring uninterrupted exploration.
Equipped with a transfer pump and fuel line, we offer the option to integrate bowser storage, optimising space and convenience. This modification is helpful for those venturing on prolonged excursions away from the mothership or support vessels.
Freshwater 150 L tank
Elevate your boating experience with our 150L freshwater tank, complete with a high-pressure wash-down pump or deck shower, designed to blend cabin-level luxury with the practicality of deck use.
This installation embodies minimal design yet offers maximum functionality. It effortlessly supplies a refreshing deck shower or serves as the sink in your dayhead.
Perfect for rinsing off after a swim or cleaning the deck, this system adds a touch of elegance and ensures you have the luxury of fresh water at your fingertips.
