Product Overview
2027 Northstar Axis Tender 4.2
The 2027 Northstar Axis Tender 4.2 expands the Axis Tender platform into a spacious 13'9" premium rigid inflatable yacht tender, offering increased passenger capacity, additional fuel capacity, and power up to 60 HP while maintaining the clean, modern layout of the Axis series.
Built around Northstar's Delta-Lift hull, the Axis 4.2 combines responsive performance with heavy-duty CSM (Hypalon) tubes and standard hydraulic steering. With a 6'5" beam, seating for up to six people, and a dry weight of 621 lbs. without engine, the 4.2 provides considerably more usable interior space while remaining purpose-built for yacht tender applications.
The interior features an ergonomic helm console, marine-grade upholstery, a self-bailing deck, EVA decking, and generous integrated storage. An 11-gallon built-in fuel tank provides additional range, while the standard fuel gauge and fuel-water separator keep the fuel system properly integrated and protected.
The electrical system includes a switch panel, LED navigation lights, all-round navigation light, and automatic bilge pump. Three retractable cleats maintain a clean deck when not in use, while four lifting rings provide dedicated lifting points for yacht davit and crane applications.
The Axis 4.2 also offers more factory equipment options than the smaller Axis tenders, including a Bimini top, protective cover, jump seat, and ski post, allowing the boat to be configured as either a dedicated yacht tender or a more versatile recreational RIB.
