Quick Overview

FOUR BOATS IN ONE

The basic Portland Pudgy is the ideal tender. Rowing and towing this dinghy are a pleasure. When towed or rowed, the Pudgy tracks perfectly because of the long skeg. It moves along nicely with a small motor.

The Pudgy is extremely buoyant and  has huge carrying capacity, both in the roomy cockpit and inside the storage compartments in the double hull. Because this dinghy is so stable, rugged, and tracks so well when rowed or motored, it's also a great boat for fishing and hunting. It's a fun sailboat, and a it's a proactive lifeboat.


It's an exceptionally rugged, stable, and unsinkable boat. At 7' 8", 128 lb., and USCG-approved for 4 people, the Pudgy is a fun and dependable multifunction dinghy with safety and versatility designed in.

Our bottom line is "if you need a tender, why not have one that can save your life?"

The Portland Pudgy dinghy is the ideal yacht tender to row or motor. It has all the benefits of inflatable boats and RIBs (rigid inflatable boats), without the risk of deflation. It's so stable you can stand up and walk around in this small boat.
