6m Fiberglass Dinghy – Design & Build

The SFW 06DINGHY is a 6-meter custom fiberglass vessel, fully designed and built by Salted Fiber Works to serve as a versatile guest transfer and island-access boat.

The design concept focused on providing a lightweight, efficient, and highly maneuverable craft, capable of transporting guests to and from small islands, navigating shallow waters, and allowing easy shore disembarkation. In addition to guest transfers, the dinghy was engineered to function as a watersports support platform, increasing its operational versatility.

Design Philosophy

The hull and layout were developed with Maldivian lagoon conditions in mind. A shallow draft and agile handling allow the vessel to operate confidently in restricted waters where larger boats cannot access.

By optimizing weight and hull efficiency, the SFW 06 Dinghy achieves excellent performance using a 115HP engine, delivering both strong acceleration and fuel efficiency without compromising safety or comfort.
