Compass Tenders’ 8.2m Open Tender is a day boat and sports tender that can tackle everything from beach landings for  shell-finding expeditions to crew and guest transportation into town. The tender has a bow door, a hydraulically controlled Bimini top (when lowered, the stowed height is 7.2 feet), and port and starboard stern folding steps.

The 8.2m Open Tender is powered by a 370 hp Yanmar 8LV inboard diesel that spins the prop on a Yanmar ZT370 stern drive, and its 79-gallon fuel tank reportedly yields 175- nautical-mile range at 25 knots.

Whom It’s For: Anyone seeking performance and the ability to transport large parties.

Picture This: It’s summer on Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay, and the gang wants to see Newport’s mansions from the water. Your main ride is berthed at Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard, so you load up your Compass Tenders 8.2m Open Tender and zip over to the Cliff Walk to enjoy the sights. Afterward, you cruise back in time for dinner at The White Horse Tavern.
