The next-gen Mares 10 VSX from AB Inflatables features a redesigned layout, upgraded materials, and enhanced storage options

Designed for yacht owners seeking a balance of comfort, practicality, and performance, the Mares 10 VSX seats four passengers, including an oversized, upholstered bow seat that conceals a vented locker capable of holding a six-gallon portable fuel tank. The tender is upholstered in Spradling marine vinyl, selected for its durability and resistance to marine conditions, while the inflatable tubes are built with Pennel-Flipo’s ORCA 820 CSM fabric for improved abrasion and UV resistance.

The console is ergonomically designed to accommodate a 7-inch multifunction display, with additional features such as a stainless-steel cup holder and a USB/12-volt power port for charging devices.

Other updates include a removable lateral seat that provides more flexible seating arrangements and a folding helm seat backrest with stainless-steel hinges for durability. The seat lid, supported by gas-assist struts, opens to a large storage compartment below. The tender also now incorporates a self-bailing splash well to enhance seaworthiness.
