Goodyear has entered the marine marketplace with the launch of the Goodyear RIB by G-Tender.
G-Tender is a brand of the Sardinian shipyard Tender One and has been appointed as an official licensee of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in a deal facilitated by IMG Licensing.
The rigid inflatable boat ha been designed to combine quality, innovation, design, technology, and Italian craftsmanship through technical collaborations.
The first model in a planned linup is set to have its official launch at the Genoa International Boat Show from September 18 to 23 2025.
The full lineup is set to range from 10 to 16 metres.
The Goodyear RIB G-10 measures 10.6 meters in overall length, with capacity for up to 24 people.
We are confident that the boat’s quality and innovation will be immediately appreciated by the premium market.

It is powered by two Yamaha 450 XTO outboard engines and offers options for bow thruster or joystick control.
The sport-oriented structure features a carbon fiber T-Top with a coloured weave, with the helm seating is upholstered in patented carbon fibre fabric, developed exclusively for the Goodyear Carbon RIB by Evolution Tech Lab.
The handcrafted upholstery is produced by Atelier Zanasi.
Goodyear RIB by G-Tender is the result of a unique synergy of entrepreneurial expertise and a highly skilled team working together on a project driven by the highest standards of quality and innovation, under the Goodyear RIB Carbon Collection.
“Being chosen by Goodyear for its debut in the luxury boating world with one of our models is a great source of pride,” said Davide Gessa, founder of Tender One.
Quality and innovation
“We are honoured and increasingly motivated to bring such a prestigious and globally recognised brand to the sea.
“We are confident that the boat’s quality and innovation will be immediately appreciated by the premium market, making this a landmark model in the world of sport inflatable boats.”
And Davide explained that the RIB has been developed through extensive market research and in-depth studies to identify the best solutions available.
The project is based on the G-Tender line by Tender One, an Italian company founded by Davide Gessa and based in Porto Rotondo, Sardinia, Italy which has more than 30 years of experience in the design, production, and distribution of boats.
