Newport Vessels Dana Models and Specifications
The sport-tender series, built for rougher coastal use. Sizes are nominal imperial lengths. The Dana family sits in the Packable Yacht Tenders. Length alone does not settle the choice: verify complete operating weight, propulsion limits, passenger capacity and storage dimensions before ordering.

|---|---|---|---|---|

How to Choose a Dana Model
- Packed dimensions matter more than length — measure the locker before you shop.
- Air floors are lighter and faster to rig; slatted and aluminium floors are stiffer and plane earlier.
- PVC is cheaper and lighter; CSM/Hypalon survives tropical UV far longer.
- Check maximum horsepower AND maximum engine weight — the transom rating is rarely the limit you hit first.
