Designing a seamless bathing platform
For many yacht owners, the bathing platform is one of the most used spaces onboard. It’s a place for launching tenders, accessing the water, and enjoying time at anchor. However, it’s often something that isn’t fully considered until after delivery.
At Rapid Marine, we regularly see customers looking for ways to improve how their tender or jetski is stored, not just in terms of safety, but also how it integrates with the yacht’s design and finish.
Why Tender Storage Matters
A poorly secured tender doesn’t just pose a safety risk, it can also:
- create trip hazards on deck
- lead to inefficient or inconsistent launching
- disrupt the clean aesthetic of the yacht
As yachts continue to evolve with larger platforms and more onboard toys, with the global water toy market now exceeding $2 billion and growing rapidly having a reliable, well-designed securing system is becoming more important than ever. With this in mind, we have developed a complete securing system for tender and jetski storage on deck.
Universal Chocks
Our DAME Award Nominated Universal Chocks are designed to support up to 99% of tenders and water toys, providing stable, secure positioning while maintaining a clean deck layout.
Padeyes & Tie Down Straps
Paired with our padeye range and durable tie down straps, the system ensures:
- minimal trip hazards
- quick and efficient launching
- secure fastening without intrusive hardware
Together, these elements create a reliable and repeatable setup that works across a wide range of motoryachts.
A Solution That’s Often Considered Too Late
In many cases, tender storage is only addressed post-delivery, once owners begin using their boat. By integrating a securing system earlier, whether at build stage or as a recommended upgrade, it’s possible to reduce retrofitting challenges and deliver a more ready to use vessel.
From yacht to tender to water, the transition should feel seamless and our goal is to provide solutions that do exactly that.
