About Tide Craft Boats

At Tide Craft Boats, we are passionate about creating luxury tenders and inflatable RIBs that deliver unmatched quality, performance, and convenience. Our mission is to provide a seamless, no-hassle boat-buying experience, offering fully equipped, ready-to-go boats without long wait times or unnecessary markups. Whether you need a reliable yacht tender, a stylish marina cruiser, or a versatile adventure boat, Tide Craft is built to elevate your time on the water.

The Tide Craft Boat Story

Tide Craft was born from the need for a high-quality, modern tender that came fully loaded with features, looked sleek, and was available without the usual delays or inflated pricing. When we couldn’t find what we were looking for, we decided to create it ourselves—blending boating expertise, premium design, and innovative craftsmanship to build the perfect tender.
