Zodiac Cadet 270 Roll Up – 8-Foot 10-Inch Slatted Floor Inflatable

Zodiac Cadet 270 Roll Up 8′ 10″ – Compact Slatted Floor Sailing Tender

Eliminating the struggle of stowing a rigid dinghy on deck, the Zodiac Cadet 270 Roll Up provides 8′ 10″ of transport capacity in a package that requires zero floor disassembly. This model is specifically engineered for American sailors who need a dependable “ship-to-shore” vessel that can be deployed in minutes. For the USA boater, the 270 RU offers a stable platform for three passengers, making it the ideal choice for navigating busy Atlantic moorings or reaching a secluded beach in the Pacific Northwest without the bulk of a traditional RIB.

Adhering to Zodiac’s premium manufacturing standards, the Cadet 270 RU utilizes high-grade 1100 Decitex PVC fabric with heat-welded seams, ensuring maximum air retention in the varying temperatures of the USA coastlines. The slatted floor design provides enough rigidity for safe boarding while allowing the entire boat to be rolled up into a compact bag. With a 4 HP maximum engine rating and a light 64 lb dry weight, this tender offers American captains a nimble, low-maintenance solution for daily harbor transits and light coastal exploration.
