Compact, clever, and designed for easy getaways, the Boatworld 170 Lite is the smallest in our Lite range, built for those who want maximum convenience without compromise. Weighing only 18.2kg* and folding neatly into its own backpack, it’s the perfect tender or dinghy for stowing in a cockpit locker, car boot, or camper van.

Despite its size, the 170 Lite holds its own on the water thanks to its integral V-shaped planing hull, which ensures smooth, reliable tracking whether you’re rowing or running a small 2hp outboard. Set-up couldn’t be simpler—just inflate, no slats or air mats required. With built-in carry handles at the balance point, one person can easily lift and shoulder-carry it once inflated. Practical, portable, and ready to launch at a moment’s notice, the 170 Lite is a true grab-and-go boat for your next adventure.
