Tender-Lifts finally offers boaters an affordable “safe solution” for transporting their dinghy or PWC. Imagine having the security of knowing your tender is ready to launch in an emergency, not needing to be assembled first.

Would you knowingly mount a 500-pound apparatus to your transom with out supporting it? Of course not, but with other lift companies that is exactly what you would be doing, our competition does not offer safe through-hull stringer mounting. We secure our lift to the stringers keeping the stress of the transom and maintaining a better center of gravity for your boat. Don’t be fooled by the so-called lift experts out there, bottom line they sell lifts, don’t offer installation nor do they care if it should be on your boat in the first place.

You know how safe it is to have a tender on trips long or short, but where do you store it? Until now, you have had to break down your dinghy storing the gas tank and the motor separately. Why give up that storage space? Why tow your dinghy behind your vessel or stow it completely away until you reach your destination? Why transport fuel on your boat at all? With Tender-Lifts, you’re ready to launch.

We have designed the Tender-Lifts’ ease of use through several years of actual boating experience. We have designed this Lift to deploy your dinghy or PWC by floating it off the lift with you on it. There are no more surprises about holding onto the dinghy while lowering it or jumping on before it floats out of range.

Your tender loads easily on this lift while emptying the water you’ve picked up during your day of cruising. By using aircraft aluminum to construct the swim-platform we are adding extra integral strength and reducing overall weight. The aluminum adds strength to the vessel as well. Our lifts are mounted to the stringer system of the boat making it part of the structure. If you accidentally damage the lift or the swim-platform specifically while backing into a slip in a bad current or due to limited visibility, your vessel will not be damaged, nor will the platform to any extent causing an immediate repair. If you damage a conventional swim-platform made of fiberglass, it will need to be repaired before you leave the marina or the damage will spread due to normal boating.

Tenders range in weight from 200 lbs to over 750 lbs. PWC’s vary from approximately 500 lbs to 800lbs. With that in mind, we have designed this lift to handle up to 1500 lbs. and a 10’ maximum length. This also gives you the freedom of changing tenders or PWC's with out worrying about if the lift can handle the weight.
The Tender-Lift comes standard with a remote control to operate the lift from the dinghy so it can be lowered or raised with out help from someone else on the boat. There are no extras that you need to worry about after the sale and installation, every thing you need is included in the purchase price. As fellow boaters, we know how often the bottom line moves further away from the original price so we have made a commitment to you not to follow suit. Our price also includes standard installation. Standard installation is offered through independent contractors in the south Florida area only. If the lift is crated and shipped out of state, installation will be the responsibility of the new owner

All lifts are custom fitted. Our sale price will cover the travel time of one of our engineers to inspect the boat and design your custom application, if the boat is in the south Florida region. The region is considered to be from ST. Lucie County and south through Monroe County.
*Haul out and normal storage fees are not included in our price.

I know how important it is to be prepared on the water. I have two small children and I believe teaching them to be consciousness safe boaters will give them a gift they can use forever. I never want to be unprepared on the water so I sought out a dinghy lift, purchased it, only to find out I was responsible for its installation. I was lucky enough to have a mechanic and two friends help me with the installation that took over 6 hours at dockside.
I removed this lift when I found a part broken another part damaged and my extended swim platform cracked costing me $1,200.00 to repair. I wanted desperately to replace this inferior lift with a better one only to find that unless I was willing to spend $22k there were no other lifts available.
I am proud to bring you an affordable safe way to store, travel and deploy your tender.
