Southern Pacific Inflatables Prodigy 490

Southern Pacific has worked closely with Designer Kit Carlier to deliver a European style, luxury tender with the durability to handle Australasian conditions.

The Prodigy 490 has aesthetically sculpted shoulders, bespoke handrails and first-class upholstery, making her at home alongside any luxury motor yacht. The tubes are constructed from the highest quality Orca Hypalon and it is powered by a 155hp petrol jet unit by German company Textron.

Many modern boats struggle to fit a decent-sized tender on-board due to height and weight restrictions. The Prodigy 490 is the perfect solution offering the option of a folding console to keep storage height to an absolute minimum, whilst still offering that luxury feeling.

Jet tenders are rare in the Southern Hemisphere which is why we created a tender that stands out from the others, with a high-quality inboard jet which allows you to reach shallow waters, and no propeller system ensures total safety around the tender.

The Prodigy employs a wide bow which provides a drier ride and more usable space onboard, and its lightweight construction it ensures a strong, robust tender that handles with ease.
