Grand Boats Dinghies in Australia
Premium GRP tenders, 3 m to 10 m
Brand profile
Grand Boats at a Glance
Grand's Australian range spans everything from a 3 m compact premium tender to a 10 m luxury or commercial RIB. The S and G families are the ones a yacht owner shops; above the G500 you are buying an independent recreational RIB that happens to have tubes.
Grand now has a substantial and clearly defined Australian model range.

Our take
S300 and S330 for a compact premium tender, G340 and G380 for a luxury motor-yacht tender, S420/G420/S470 when the tender is also the dayboat.

Buyer due diligence
Buying Grand Boats: questions to ask
Before choosing a model, ask the dealer to confirm availability, the complete package weight and local service support. Get the answers in writing so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
- Which Grand Boats models are physically stocked in Australia now, and which are special-order only?
- What is included in the quoted package, and what will the complete ready-to-use weight be with propulsion, fuel or battery, safety gear and normal accessories?
- Who performs warranty assessment and supplies replacement parts in the state where the boat will be used?
- What tube fabric, seam construction and repair materials are supplied on the exact Australian configuration?
- Can the complete boat-and-engine package be demonstrated with the buyer's normal passenger and gear load?
Take the answers into the comparison tool, then use the sea-trial protocol or, for sailing boats, the sailing dinghy buying guide.
