About this tender
The Strider 10 is the build we ask Sacs Marine for when the programme calls for a compact, high-performance RIB that still carries sixteen guests under CE Category B certification. At 9.92m overall, it sits at the serious end of the tender bracket without demanding a dedicated oversized garage - a practical consideration on any mothership where space is rationed. The recommended twin 300 hp outboard configuration delivers a factory-quoted 54 knots, with a 32-knot cruise consuming 75 litres per hour and a 200-nautical-mile range on the 450-litre tank.
The hull geometry does most of the work here. Sacs Marine specify a 22-degree deadrise deep-V underbody - a meaningful figure for a boat of this length, giving it composure in a short chop rather than the slamming tendency you can get from flatter sections. Six separate buoyancy compartments are carried in the ORCA Ice White tubes; the tube diameter of 0.60m is generous for the overall length and gives the boat its characteristic stability at rest. Design credit goes to Christian Grande Design Works, with naval architecture by SACS Tecnorib.
Comfort specification is more substantial than the footprint suggests. Sacs Marine fit a cabin with two berths and a heads compartment with WC, served by an 80-litre fresh-water tank and a 40-litre black-water holding tank. The layout is available in three configurations - the yard describes these as Maxi Tender, Party Boat, and Luxury Cruiser - so the brief can be tailored before build without structural compromise. Standard colour is white RAL 9016 hull and deck, with a Silver F426 hardtop and Silvertex Sandstone upholstery.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
Sacs Marine rate the Strider 10 at a 54-knot maximum and 32-knot cruise with the standard twin 300 hp outboard fit. The 22-degree deadrise deep-V hull keeps the ride manageable in open water rather than simply chasing a headline speed figure. A twin 400 hp alternative is listed for owners who want more headroom.
The Strider 10 carries sixteen persons under CE Category B certification, covering open sea passages up to Beaufort 6 and significant wave heights to 2.0m. That passenger count is high for a 9.92m hull and makes it a credible tender for large-group transfers as well as performance day use.
Despite an overall length of under 10 metres, the Strider 10 incorporates a forward cabin with two sleeping berths and a functional heads compartment with WC. An 80-litre fresh-water tank and a 40-litre black-water holding tank are fitted as standard, making overnight or extended day use genuinely practical.
The yard offers the Strider 10 in Maxi Tender, Party Boat, and Luxury Cruiser layouts, selectable via Sacs Marine's online configurator before build. This allows the deck arrangement and trim specification to match the owner's primary use case without requiring bespoke structural changes to the hull.
The 450-litre fuel tank, combined with the 32-knot cruise consumption figure of 75 litres per hour, gives the Strider 10 a quoted 200-nautical-mile range. For a tender operating at the upper end of the compact RIB category, that range supports meaningful independent passages between ports without requiring mothership proximity.
