Argos Nautic Diesel 17: The Flagship Diesel Tender

1. General Information

The Argos Nautic Diesel 17 is the largest model in the Diesel Series, a 5.38 metre (17 ft 8 in) RIB tender with a 2.01 metre inflated beam and room for up to nine people. It is built for superyachts that need to move a full complement of guests ashore in one trip.

Power comes from a 110 hp Yanmar diesel, running on the same fuel as the mothership. It suits owners and crews who want capacity, reliability and simpler fuel management.

2. Construction and Design

A deep-V hull gives the Diesel 17 a steadier, more comfortable ride in choppy water. The layout combines a central helm with windscreen and chartplotter, generous upholstered seating and teak-style decking. Weighing about 950 kg fully rigged and carrying 70 litres of fuel, it is designed for heavy, regular use.

3. Key Features

Nine-person capacity: seating for up to nine guests and crew.

Deep-V hull: a smoother ride when conditions get lumpy.

Yanmar diesel: 110 hp on the same fuel as the yacht.

Equipped helm: windscreen and chartplotter for confident navigation.

4. Summary

The Diesel 17 is for owners of large diesel yachts who need maximum tender capacity with a comfortable ride. It brings guest numbers, sea-keeping and single-fuel simplicity together in one boat.
