EDITOR’S
LETTER
Welcome to the fifth annual edition of the Tenders
& Toys Guide. This is actually a landmark year
for us being our 10th anniversary of publishing
ONBOARD Magazine.
So, what are we bringing you this year? Well,
without doubt this is our largest Tenders &
Toys Guide to date, each year we discover more
tenders and toys coming on to the market backed
by innovative designers and some immense
amounts of passion. We are listing over 160
tenders this year: RIBs, Limousines, Custom,
Ski-boats, SOLAS, Electric Tenders, Jet Tenders
and everything in-between.
For sure the electric tender market continues
to grow. The autonomy and charging times are
improving along with the global electric power
technology market and our beloved owners are
finally getting the message. There has been a
shift towards outboards and even with a slightly
consolidated market, there are more outboard
innovations coming through with diesel and some
powerful electric options.
The toy cupboard continues to expand with more
eco-versions of traditional toys hitting the waves
together with a line-up of great dinghies for all
the family.
Over the past 10 years we have had a brilliant
time bringing you ONBOARD Magazine and have
met some fantastically passionate people. We’d
like to take this opportunity to thank all those who
have helped us in delivering you the publication
each quarter: journalists, contributors, partners,
crew and friends - we couldn’t have done it
without you!
