3D Tender is expanding its lineup with the new V-Line and V-Line River, two inflatable tenders offered in bundles with Suzuki outboard motors. With the River, the Breton manufacturer is directly targeting freshwater anglers by emphasizing stability, light weight, and ease of transport.

A V-Line designed to be simple and lightweight

With this new line, 3D Tender aims to offer a solution that?s accessible to both recreational boaters and anglers. The V-Line is available in three lengths: 2.30 m, 2.60 m, and 2.85 m. Its unique feature is its inflatable V-shaped floor, which uses drop-stitch technology and is integrated directly into the boat. This one-piece construction is designed to combine stability, comfort, and a lightweight design.

The smallest V-Line model weighs just 20 kg, a significant advantage when you need to transport your dinghy regularly or launch it without special equipment. It comes with accessories and a carrying bag and is compatible with Suzuki outboard motors ranging from 2.5 to 6 ch. The V-Line 230 package, equipped with the Suzuki DF2.5, starts at ?1,350 including tax.

V-Line River: Freshwater Fishing in Focus

For anglers, it?s the V-Line River in particular that?s attracting attention. In fact, 3D Tender doesn?t market it as just a tender, but as a boat designed to compete with small traditional fishing boats.

Also available in 2.30, 2.60, and 2.85 m, it features the same V-shaped drop-stitch inflatable floor. However, its design incorporates several features specifically tailored for fishing: a camouflage PVC covering, 40-cm floats, and two rod holders whose positions can be adjusted to suit the angler?s needs.

This setup seems particularly appealing to itinerant anglers. Once the fishing trip is over, the V-Line River can be deflated and stored in its camouflage backpack. It thus offers an alternative to rigid boats when access to the launch site is difficult or when you want to minimize storage and transportation hassles.

Up to 6 ch with Suzuki engines

In terms of engines, 3D Tender is continuing its partnership with Suzuki Marine. The V-Line River is compatible with outboard motors ranging from 2.5 to 6 ch, and the first package combining the boat with the 2.5 ch Suzuki DF2.5 is priced starting at ?1,400, including tax.

This initiative is part of an already well-established partnership between 3D Marine and Suzuki, which also offer other boats as motorized packages.

With the V-Line River, 3D Tender is primarily seeking to attract a new audience: inland anglers. To do so, the brand is capitalizing on the main advantages of inflatable boats?light weight, easy transport, and compact size?while offering equipment that is truly designed with fishing in mind.

The V-Line and V-Line River will be on display at the Grand Pavois 2026 before becoming available through the joint 3D Tender and Suzuki dealer network.
