One of 580 dinghies, tenders and RIBs in the BuyDinghy Australian database, scored against packable yacht tenders rather than the market as a whole.

Where this model fits

At an unconfirmed published length, this model sits in the unconfirmed-size part of the packable yacht tenders. That helps define the comparison set, but storage, total package weight and local support still decide whether it belongs on a shortlist.

Maximum power is not recorded in our source data, so it should be confirmed before choosing an outboard or valuing a package. Passenger capacity is not recorded here; ask for the current capacity plate or manufacturer documentation rather than relying on an advertisement.

Before you request a quote

  • Ask the seller to identify the exact Porta-Bote folding dinghy range model year and included configuration in writing.
  • Obtain a written hull weight and clarify whether the floor, console, battery or other removable equipment is included.
  • Request the complete delivered price, including unavoidable freight, preparation and registration costs.
  • Confirm warranty and parts support for this exact model under Porta-Bote's current Australian arrangement.

Fit scores

Each score is Porta-Bote's editorial score for that job, scaled by how well a boat of this size hull suits it. A superb manufacturer still makes boats that are wrong for your job — the curve is what says so. How this is calculated.
