Tender hire · crewed charter yachts only
A tender in a pinch.
Two open 12' AB Navigo RIBs and a 20' Avon Sea Rider, for crewed charter yachts whose own tender is down, too small, or still on the dock in Fort Lauderdale. Functional, well maintained, and not the boats we're building. Hull charter by the day or the week, delivered to your anchorage or collected from Compass Point.

These are the boats we keep for exactly this. Not the Load Line tenders, which arrive in February and are a different thing.

Three things a rental counter can't do
Trade rates that fall as the charter lengthens, a tender rigged and rated to be towed behind you, and delivery to wherever you happen to be anchored — with the boat staying on your stern all week instead of coming back to a dock every evening.
01 · Trade rate
The longer the charter, the lower the day rateApplies to the four self-drive tenders, including the 19 Tiller at $650 a day. A 5.8 m on a seven-night charter works out to $619 a day. Brokers and management companies booking repeat weeks get the 14-day rate from the first booking — ask us.
02 · Tow-behind
Built to be towed — for crewed yachts onlyLoad Line Tenders are designed to be towed — that isn't a concession, it's the brief. Waterline length is why: under tow the 19 holds about 5.5 knots and the 21 about 5.9, against roughly 4 for a typical yacht dinghy. Behind a yacht averaging 6.5 knots that's the difference between a tender in displacement trim and one being dragged 60% past its limit. 5 mm 5083 commercial hulls, bow tow point recessed into the stringer system, self-bailing cockpit so a wet tow doesn't arrive full of water, and a hull that tracks behind a cat instead of yawing across her wake. The endorsement covers a two-leg bridle sized to your hulls, a floating polypropylene painter, and a handover briefing with your captain.

03 · Delivery & overnight
She stays with you — we don't want her back each nightOvernight retention is included in the trade rate. The tender lives on your stern for the whole charter, so nobody is running a shuttle at dusk and nobody loses an afternoon to a dock handover.
We deliver and collect at anchor anywhere from Charlotte Amalie east to Coral Bay, including Christmas Cove, Great Cruz and Francis Bay, at no charge — charter yachts never see the Compass Point dock unless they want to. Outside that box, or a BVI hand-back, we quote the run.
If something breaks at anchor on a Tuesday, Loaded Lines comes to you with a spare. That's the part a rental counter in Red Hook cannot do — and it isn't only for our own boats. Same-day parts, delivered alongside — and the power, water and fabrication behind them.
The 14, the 19, the 19 Tiller and the 21: 5 mm 5083 hulls, built to be towed. First hulls arrive February 2027. Until then, the three RIBs above are what's on the dock.
