Venture Sport Tenders
Venture is the World’s First Luxury Explorer Sport Tender line. It is designed for yacht owners and operators of explorer and long range cruising yachts and also for express cruisers and sportfish yachts who want to get the most out of their time on the water and entertain their guests in comfort.
The versatile, comfortable design also makes them suitable as a primary boat or runabout. They have room to comfortably accommodate friends or family for outings or for spending an afternoon together filled with fun activities and watersports but still small enough to tie up at a dinghy dock.
