About this tender

Castoldi - what we know.

The 9.9m platform in the Castoldi Jet Tender range is the upper end of the single-engine waterjet line, the build that sits between the mid-range JTs and the twin-engine JT34. At 9.9m length and 3.0m beam, sixteen on the CE plate and 700 litres of fuel, this is a tender designed to handle the longer shore runs that 80m-plus owner programmes generate.

What this size of Castoldi gives you is range. The 700-litre tank moves the conversation from coastal hopping to a real two-hour transit reserve at cruise, which matters when the mothership is anchored further offshore than the closest beach. Diesel waterjet, single Yanmar package, sixteen-guest plate, this is the build we recommend when an owner wants the JT range character on a hull big enough to feel like a yacht rather than a tender.

Highlights

Built for the work.

The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.

01

9.9m single-engine flagship

Above the JT27 and below the twin-engine JT34, the 9.9m sits at the top of the single-engine Castoldi range. Sixteen on the CE Cat C plate, 3.0m beam, GRP composite hull. The standard Castoldi tube and folding console package transfers up to this size.

02

Real fuel range

700 litres is the headline. That is roughly twice the JT27 tank capacity and gives the boat a usable two-hour reserve at cruise speed, which is what makes the platform credible as a primary tender for offshore-anchored programmes rather than just a beach run boat.

03

Garage drawing on a 70m-plus hull

9.9m by 3.0m is sized to fit the dedicated tender garages on hulls in the 75-110m bracket, where the design budget allows for a stand-alone owner tender of this size. Castoldi's lift point scheme transfers up to this hull on the same engineering basis as the smaller boats.

Questions, answered

Before you enquire.

Why a 9.9m single jet rather than the twin-engine JT34?
Two reasons. Garage budget, the 9.9m sits inside a smaller footprint than the JT34's 10.5m length and lifts on a single-jet thrust plan. And service simplicity, one engine and one waterjet to maintain rather than two, which keeps the running cost lower for owners who do not need the JT34's higher top end.
Is the 700L fuel figure realistic?
It is the legacy datasheet figure for the platform, and Castoldi do build the 9-10m hulls with tank options in this band depending on the buyer's range requirement. We treat it as a sizing number for fuel and trim calculation, with the actual tank volume confirmed against the build specification book.
How does this size compare with a Compass or Goldfish tender of the same length?
Different drivelines, different missions. The Compass 9-10m line tends to be sterndrive on a longer hull. The Goldfish X12 at 12.5m is a higher-performance carbon platform with outboards. The Castoldi 9.9m is the diesel-waterjet solution, lower top speed than a Goldfish, lower service cost than a Compass custom build, and the most familiar driveline for captains coming off another Castoldi.

The yard

Castoldi

Albairate, Italy

Castoldi is an Italian manufacturer headquartered in Albairate, in the Milan metropolitan area of Lombardy. The company has been developing waterjet propulsion since the early 1960s, with the first mass-produced Castoldi waterjet unit presented at the Genoa Boat Show in 1969. Today more than 40,000 Castoldi hydrojet units operate worldwide, across civilian, military, and commercial fleets.

The range we ask Castoldi for runs from compact garage-fit tenders at 4.3m right through to the flagship Jet Tender 34 at 10.5m - sixteen passengers, twin 440 hp diesels paired to twin Turbodrive waterjet units, and a certified top speed of 50 knots. Every model in between follows the same build logic: deep-V hulls hand-laid in Kevlar and vinylester resin, Castoldi's own Turbodrive waterjet drives manufactured in-house, and a package of practical details - retractable helms, self-bailing cockpits, and walkthrough deck layouts - that captains value on a working programme.

The propeller-free drivetrain is the defining feature of any Castoldi. No exposed rotating parts below the keel means safe operation around swimmers and watersport guests; zero draft restriction means beach landings and sand-bank crossings that a conventional-drive tender cannot attempt. SOLAS-certified rescue versions (JT 14 RB, JT 18 RB, JT 19 RB) sit alongside the standard tender line, so owners running a dual-purpose programme can specify a single platform. We'd put the mid-range JT 21 through JT 28 models alongside the main European jet-tender alternatives: the build quality is consistent, the proprietary waterjet technology is genuinely in-house, and the range breadth covers most mothership garage sizes without compromise.
