Yacht tender Aquascan.

Jet tender, custom yacht tenders

AQUASCAN has developed the Sprinter FJet series to service the needs of the "no compromise" yacht tender market.

In response to a wave of customer requests, we have created a new line of yacht tenders with jet propulsion designed specifically for Pershing, Riva, Fairline and Ferretti Yachts. 

These tenders are custom designed to fit perfectly inside the garages of these yachts without compromising style and performance.  

They can be purchased directly from your dealer or through Aquascan. 

Real World engineering designed with hands on experience that provides the ultimate performance, styling and durability.

Our dynamic design and manufacturing team takes every opportunity to create and develop advancements in design and performance in response to the every changing needs of the tender boat market.

Thankfully our customers are always presenting us with new challenges and requirements that allow us to constantly improve our boats and develop new techniques and accessories.

The Sprinter Jets are high performance, custom built jet tenders.

Although all the models have standard measurements and designs, they are all customizable in every sense of the word from the inside out.

The jet inflatable boat can be built with Carbon Fiber or Kevlar, design is limited only by your desires.

If height, width, length or weight is an issue, not to worry, we can customize all of our jet ribs to fit your requirements.

The four stroke inflatable jet boat was premiered at the 2001 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and has been our number one seller since.

Because we are a custom manufacturer of inflatable boats all of our base models have dozens of accessories available to them, and each model and accessory can be customized to your preference

Each Aquascan is hand built in Fort Lauderdale Florida.

Boat show

The Miami boat show is in full swing but the weather has decide to teach every one a lesson and not share any sun with the visitors.

In Florida most of the time even if it is raining the sun shine. Not today! 

The rain will never prevent us to have fun with our boats!

Inflatable boats at work

When we think about inflatable boats we usually have in mind tenders or boats for yachts to bring passenger from the main ship to shore.

Rigid hull inflatables are used in very many different ways as working boats. Even the military forces uses inflatables for rescue missions or to patrol our coasts.  

The inflatables played a very important roll when the storm Katrina destroyed the Lousiana and the golf cost region.

They provide support also for divers working to repair underwater hulls.

Aquascan is a boat manufacturing company servicing not only the Yachting community. Special attention is dedicated to working boats.

Do I need a boating license or boating safety certificate to operate a boat or personal watercraft (PWC) in Florida?

Anyone born on or after January 1, 1988 is required to have a boating safety education ID card along with a photo ID while operating a vessel with a motor 10 horsepower or greater in Florida waters.  This includes personal water craft (PWC). Persons under age 14 may not operate a PWC.

The type of card you need depends on whether you are a resident of Florida or not.  If you are a Florida resident, you can take an 8-hour classroom or internet course and get a "lifetime" ID card.  If you are just visiting, you may prefer to take a temporary certificate exam that is good for 12 months.  Everyone is encouraged to take one of these courses to become familiar with Florida's boating laws and regulations.
