100% Carbon Fiber Construction
The MVI Carbon Dinghy is built from 100% carbon fiber composite using advanced vacuum infusion technology.
Vacuum infusion allows the structure to achieve an excellent resin-to-carbon ratio, producing a lightweight, rigid, and high-strength hull with minimal excess resin.
Every part of the dinghy is designed around strength, weight reduction, and long-term marine durability.
The Magic Is the Hull Engineering
The true advantage of the MVI Carbon Dinghy is the engineering of the hull.
The hull is designed with a sharp central V-shape and wide integrated reverse chines that extend outward from the hull geometry. This design gives the dinghy a unique combination of efficient planing, dry ride performance, and exceptional stability.
Unlike a typical tender, the MVI Carbon Dinghy feels like a real boat. It cuts smoothly through chop, rides confidently across side waves, and gives the driver a strong feeling of control even when the sea becomes less comfortable.
Low-Drag Planing Performance
Once on plane, the dinghy runs with minimal wetted surface area.
Only a small aft section of the hull remains in contact with the water — approximately the last 50–60 cm / 20–24 in of the running surface, with the outboard positioned between the two aft planing surfaces.
This reduces drag, improves efficiency, and allows the boat to plane quickly and smoothly with very little effort.
During normal planing, the wide reverse chines remain mostly above the waterline, so they do not create unnecessary resistance. But when the hull meets chop or a larger wave, the chines engage and direct the water outward to the sides.
The result is fast, efficient, and confidence-inspiring performance in real cruising conditions.
Dry Ride Hull Design
The hull geometry is designed to keep passengers much drier than in a standard tender.
As the dinghy runs through chop or over waves, the V-hull and wide reverse chines push spray outward and away from the boat. Water is directed to the sides rather than into the cockpit.
This gives passengers a more comfortable and protected ride, especially in afternoon chop, side waves, or windier conditions.
Exceptional Boarding Stability
One of the key advantages of the hull design is its stability when the dinghy is at rest.
When floating alongside a yacht, dock, or beach, the outward-angled reverse chines sit on the water and widen the effective footprint of the hull. This creates excellent initial stability and makes boarding and disembarking safer and easier.
Passengers can step onto the side deck or move to one side without the boat feeling unstable. The dinghy remains controlled, balanced, and reassuringly safe.
Aft Helm Layout & Maximum Interior Space
One of the major advantages of the MVI Carbon Dinghy’s hull engineering is that it allows the helm seating position to be placed much farther aft than on most other dinghies.
In the Luxury Console Edition, the driver and passenger seats are positioned approximately 30 cm / 12 in forward of the transom, which is essentially the minimum space required for the control cables, steering, and engine connections.
This is extremely important because it creates a much larger open interior deck area.
On many other console tenders, the helm seating and console are positioned in the middle of the boat — and sometimes even farther forward. This divides the interior into two smaller areas and reduces the usable deck space.
On the MVI Carbon Dinghy, the engineered hull shape allows the seating and console to stay as far aft as possible, keeping the interior open, clean, and highly practical.
The result is a large uninterrupted deck area that is far more comfortable for passengers and far more useful for carrying equipment.
This extra space is ideal for guests, dive gear, groceries, bicycles, beach gear, and everyday cruising use.
Open Storage Along the Sides
Because the MVI Carbon Dinghy is a rigid carbon tender, it offers generous and highly practical storage space.
The areas beneath the side decks create long storage zones running along both sides of the dinghy. These spaces are ideal for bags, groceries, dive equipment, and cruising gear, while keeping the main deck area clean and uncluttered.
In everyday use, this makes a huge difference. You can return from the supermarket with many bags, or load the boat with diving equipment, while still preserving a clear and comfortable deck area for passengers.
Passenger Capacity & Power
The Luxury Console Edition offers space for up to 7–8 passengers, depending on passenger weight and total load.
It is compatible with outboards from 10 hp to 40 hp, with 25 hp being the recommended setup.
The hull has been tested with a 25 hp outboard, and it performs exceptionally well. This setup delivers fast planing, excellent efficiency, smooth handling, and a superb balance between power and control.
For most owners, 25 hp is the ideal combination.
Tested in Real Cruising Conditions
The MVI Carbon Dinghy is built for yacht owners who explore.
It is designed for island hopping, beach landings, guest transfers, and returning safely to the yacht when conditions change.
Tested in waves up to approximately 1.5 m / 5 ft, the dinghy demonstrated impressive comfort, control, and confidence. Even in higher waves, it rides like a real boat — not like a standard dinghy.
If the sea is calm in the morning and the afternoon wind builds chop later in the day, the MVI Carbon Dinghy gives you the confidence to return safely, dry, and comfortable.
Unsinkable Safety Design
The MVI Carbon Dinghy is engineered with a serious unsinkable safety concept.
It includes five flotation zones, plus the natural positive buoyancy of the foam-core carbon structure.
The flotation system includes:
Two aft sealed flotation compartments on both sides of the outboard area
A large sealed storage/flotation compartment beneath the driver and passenger seats
A double floor flotation chamber with its own drain plug
A forward sealed fuel tank compartment, also designed as a buoyancy zone
The storage compartment below the seats and the forward fuel tank compartment both have access lids positioned higher than the transom level.
This means that in an extreme situation where water enters the dinghy, the water can drain aft through the transom before reaching the level of the sealed compartment lids.
This design helps protect the flotation zones and gives the dinghy a very high level of safety and confidence.
Davits Ready
The Luxury Console Edition comes prepared for yacht davit systems, with stainless steel lifting points included as standard.
For owners who want the cleanest full-carbon finish, custom carbon composite lifting points are available as an optional upgrade.
Premium Carbon Finish
The Luxury Console Edition is finished as a true high-end carbon tender.
Visible structural areas are finished in exposed high-gloss carbon fiber, with custom color accents selected by the owner.
The interior stripe, console details, deck finish, and EVA elements can be customized to match the yacht or the owner’s preferred style.
The final result is a luxury carbon tender that looks as good as it performs.
