Yacht tender

A yacht tender is like a little boat that is used to transport people or things from a bigger boat, like a yacht, to land or other places that the bigger boat cannot get to.

It's kind of like when you take a taxi to get from one place to another, except instead of a car, the yacht tender is a little boat.

Some yacht tenders are small and only fit a few people, while others are big enough to fit many people or even a car. They can be powered by a motor or by rowing.

Yacht tenders are important because sometimes the big yacht cannot dock near the shore, so the tender is used to bring people to the shore safely. They can also be used for fun activities like exploring small coves or going fishing.
