2026 Zodiac Cadet 270 Alu

The 2026 Zodiac Cadet 270 Alu is a compact inflatable runabout built with a rigid aluminum floor and Hypalon construction. At just under 8'10" in length, it combines lightweight portability with durability engineered for demanding marine conditions. The Hypalon material provides superior resistance to UV exposure, abrasion, saltwater, and temperature extremes compared to traditional PVC, making it well-suited for boats stored outdoors or in heavy seasonal use.

The aluminum floor system delivers stable footing and solid handling characteristics. The boat's compact size and modular design allow for easy breakdown and transport, while its carrying capacity makes it versatile for use as a yacht tender, waterfront access craft, or weekend explorer. Welded construction throughout reflects Zodiac's approach to reliability and longevity in small inflatable design.

Powered by twin gasoline outboards, the Cadet 270 Alu is configured for straightforward operation and dependable performance in a practical, no-frills package.
