Our verdict

Aspen Carbon Cat builds carbon-fibre tenders in the USA on a patented catamaran hull. The result: extraordinarily light, stable boats with a dry ride even in chop, and no inflatable tubes to maintain. The most exotic option in this comparison, designed for those who hoist the tender and count every kilo.

Things to consider
