Description

Exceptional value for money

Compact and easy to stow in a cockpit locker, the CADET holds its own against bigger models. Its progressive-diameter buoyancy-tube provides improved stability. CADETs have an outstanding lifespan and guarantee a high level of safety for their owners (due to the closure of the float welded and to the glued overlap).

    Zodiac Cadet 270 alu

    Posted by peter - Cairns FNQ on 3rd May 2021

    This is actually a really nice inflatable. I was considering a plastic boat as a tender for my sailboat. I wanted something stable and strong - but plastics are so heavy. I also wanted something I could use as a small fishing dinghy. So I chose the top brand as I have heard lots of problems from cheaper brands. This Zodiac is really light and comfy/stable/roomy. Easily takes 2 adults on extended trips. I've traveled 10 km in this spearfishing. The inflatable keel does a good job tracking and it is surprisingly dry for an inflatable. Sits high out of the water. Plenty of things to hang on to in rough seas. The aluminum floor is strong and you can load fuel tanks and stuff into it no problems. The oars are a little bit annoying in rough seas as they come loose no matter how hard you tighten the clamps/rowlocks.
    Only two issues that you need to consider. First you need a reasonable capacity motor to get on the plane. I have an 8 horsepower Yamaha. Gets on the plane quickly with 2 people loaded. Anything less may not be enough for more than 1 person unless you are just puttering around. Second this can puncture. I have punctured mine twice but it was my fault as I drag it over coral beaches etc. Still they do puncture or tear on sharp objects so you have to be more careful than me. I guarantee I'll treat this worse than you. The repair kits however are amazing and both repairs I did quickly and they have held absolutely no issues. One was a 2 inch tear.
    It is a bargain at the price. Versatile. Bigger than you expect.
