LUXURY PERFORMANCE TENDER
The Generation 400 DLX luxury tender has incredible space and ride that is unprecedented in a 4.0m / 13’ Deluxe Rigid Inflatable Boat. More leg room, additional rear storage and a deep V-Hull provide more comfort and space than any other RIB in its class.
The Generation Family of Boats
With elegant European styling and a sporty wide-body frame, the Walker Bay Generation luxury yacht tenders will exceed your expectations in both form and function. With detailed attention to hull design and hydrodynamics, the Generation DLX series outperforms its class in comfort and handling. The spacious interior of the open cockpit design provides ample space for people and gear.
Design and Construction.
The stringer manufacturing system allows for a more even integrated distribution load through the hull giving it extra strength when the boat is lifted. Other areas of reinforcement include the steering arm and telescopic ski pole. The Generation 400 DLX also have a hull liner that not only improves the integrity and ride of the boat, but provides a smooth clean floor for the rear storage compartments.

The Generation 400 DLX Luxury RIB.
Boasting a highly detailed hull design and superior hydrodynamics, the Generation 400 DLX luxury tender outperforms its class with exceptional handling at high speeds. The incredibly smooth ride and ample space in the Generation 400 DLX are a step above all other luxury inflatable console boats. More leg room, additional rear storage and a deep V-Hull provide more comfort and space than any other RIB in its class, and the integrated ski pole and boarding ladder provide more fun on and in the water.
The Generation 400 is built using Walker Bay’s proprietary Polyurethane Composite Micro Stringer system making the hull lighter and stronger. The Generations also have a unique approach to joining the hull and deck using a unidirectional glass and polyurethane grid bonding system that eliminates the air cavity found in other RIBs. The result is a stronger hull that better absorbs wave chop, and its lighter weight gives a faster top speed and makes it quick to plane.
Smooth ride. Superior maneuverability.
The extra deep V-hull in all Walker Bay Generation luxury yacht tenders is made for cutting through water. As well, the customized gas tank fits in the bow section of the keel, moving weight forward in the boat to further reduce the impact of rough chop and contribute to early planing.
As the Generation 400 DLX luxury tender propels forward, the concave chines deflect the water down, reducing spray and increasing hull traction for aggressive maneuvering. The stern of the hull, meanwhile, flattens out to facilitate planing at low speeds. Above the water, the sloping design of the bow step pushes the boat down at the front while the downward curve of the stern lifts the tail to increase stability and handling.
