The Zodiac Cadet Alu comes with a 5-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use, effective from the date of purchase.
We use the 270 as a tender on our catamaran. Handles well with a 6HP engine. It’s easy to inflate/deflate and doesn’t take up much storage space. Ladder option was a great add.
We got the Cadet 310 Alu for our sailing trips and couldn’t be happier. The aluminum floor gives it great stability when stepping in, and it tracks beautifully with a 9.9HP outboard.
This dinghy punches above its weight. Lightweight enough to handle easily, but feels extremely solid on the water. The 310 gives us enough room for 4 people plus gear with no issues.
The Cadet 270 is perfect for quick runs to shore. Durable construction and feels solid underfoot. Just wish the pressure gauge and bag came standard, not as add-ons.
