Zodiac Cadet Models and Specifications
The small-tender end of the range and the family most relevant to sailing yachts. The Cadet 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.
| Model | Length | Max power | Persons | Hull weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cadet 230 Aero Air-floor packable tender | 2.30 m | — | — | — |
| Cadet 270 Aero Air-floor packable tender | 2.70 m | — | — | — |
| Cadet 310 Aero Air-floor packable tender | 3.10 m | — | — | — |
| Cadet 270 ALU Aluminium floor — stiffer, planes earlier, heavier | 2.70 m | — | — | — |
How to Choose a Cadet 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.
