2026 Northstar Vega 3.8

The Northstar Vega 3.8 is a rigid inflatable boat built for versatility across multiple water activities. At 12.5 feet with a beam of just over 6 feet, it combines a lightweight tender profile with a dry-riding fiberglass hull designed to handle various conditions. The boat is powered by a single 30-horsepower Mercury engine, delivering a cruising speed of 45 knots and a top speed of 60 knots.

Standard features include a wide beam, generous deck storage, and functional seating arrangements throughout. The Vega series uses CSM Hypalon tubes for durability, a material choice consistent across all Northstar models. At this size, the boat works well as a tender, day cruiser, or utility platform, with room to add customization options for fishing or other water sports as desired.
