It is a time when the water is still warm, and a stand up paddle board for yacht use becomes the easiest way to explore sheltered coves without starting an outboard engine. Choosing the right board for your guests or charter operations means looking at storage, stability and construction. In this objective breakdown, we look at the Dockee drop-stitch models. Each board is built for the marine environment, offering a firm, rigid feel on the water and a compact profile when it is time to pack away. ## Fleet dimensions and yacht garage storage When you provision a vessel for charter, deck space and storage are always limited. An inflatable paddle board yacht garage setup must account for the rolled dimensions of the deflated boards and the space they need when fully inflated on deck. - Length: 320 cm (10'6") - Width: 80 cm (31.5") - Thickness: 15 cm (6") - Construction: drop-stitch fabric with reinforced PVC These standardised measurements mean that the entire fleet occupies the exact same footprint. The uniform sizing allows crews to stack them neatly when inflated or stow them efficiently side by side in the garage. They are constructed using [drop-stitch](https://dockee.it/glossary#drop-stitch) technology, which uses internal threads to hold both surfaces parallel. This ensures the board becomes flat and firm rather than rounding out like a balloon. ## Breeze and Vento 10'6" models When comparing yacht sup boards for charter use, consistency across the fleet matters just as much as individual performance. The [Breeze 10’6” SUP Paddle Board](https://dockee.it/product/breeze-106-sup-paddle-board) and the [Vento 10’6” SUP Paddle Board](https://dockee.it/product/vento-106-sup-paddle-board) share a common design brief. ![Mariner 10’6” SUP Paddle Board by Dockee](https://shelter.hunpera.com/blog/dockee.it/choosing-right-stand-up-paddle-board-for-yacht-inline-1-9421edbd.jpg) *Pictured: Mariner 10’6” SUP Paddle Board* - Design focus: built for versatility and a smooth, stable ride. - Suitability: they accommodate paddlers of all skill levels, from beginners trying to stand for the first time to experienced guests exploring a Sardinian bay. - Top deck: each features a non-slip top surface that is not real wood and requires no oiling or sanding. These two models provide identical performance profiles. Their uniform 320 cm length and 80 cm width give them a generous volume, which translates into excellent tracking stability in calm, sheltered water. ## The Luna 10'6" on the water The [Luna 10’6” SUP Paddle Board](https://dockee.it/product/luna-106-sup-paddle-board) follows the same precise structural blueprint but focuses its design language slightly on balance and smooth progress. - Dimensions: 320 by 80 by 15 cm, mirroring the rest of the fleet. - Performance: designed for a blend of stability and smooth performance on the water. - Materials: the same reliable drop-stitch fabric with reinforced PVC. With the luna sup board yacht setup, the predictability of the 10'6" platform means charter guests will feel secure from their first attempt. Always ensure that users paddle in calm, sheltered water and that engines and thrusters are off while anyone is in the water near the stern. Swimmers and paddleboarders, especially children, must always be supervised. ## Adding the Minta to the fleet If you are outfitting a larger charter vessel, you might also consider adding the [Minta 10’6” SUP Paddle Board](https://dockee.it/product/minta-106-sup-paddle-board) to your collection. ![Mariner 10’6” SUP Paddle Board by Dockee](https://shelter.hunpera.com/blog/dockee.it/choosing-right-stand-up-paddle-board-for-yacht-inline-2-9421edbd.jpg) *Pictured: Mariner 10’6” SUP Paddle Board* - Measurements: 320 by 80 by 15 cm. - Construction: drop-stitch fabric with reinforced PVC. - Ride quality: a smooth, stable and elegant ride for paddlers of all skill levels. Because every Dockee SUP board shares these dimensions, a mixed fleet behaves consistently on the water. Guests can switch between a Minta and a Breeze without needing to adjust their stance or paddling technique. This uniformity makes life easier for the crew, who only need to familiarise themselves with one set of inflation instructions. ## Setup, care and end-of-season storage Getting the boards ready for the water takes little time. Unfold the board on a clean surface free of sharp objects, make sure the [valve](https://dockee.it/glossary#valve) is closed, and connect a suitable pump. The [Air Pump 500 W](https://dockee.it/product/air-pump-500w) is compact, runs on standard 230 V power and easily brings the board to the pressure stated in the product instructions. - Rinse the board thoroughly with fresh water after contact with salt water. - Clean the reinforced PVC and the non-slip top surface with a mild soap solution. - Let the board air-dry completely before you deflate it. - Fold and pack it, storing it dry and out of prolonged direct sunlight. Proper care preserves the materials during winter layup, ensuring the boards are ready for the spring season. Dockee products carry a two-year warranty from delivery, and fully insured worldwide shipping means your new boards will arrive securely at your marina or preferred address.

Yes, because all models feature a standard valve and require similar inflation routines, the crew can use the same 500 W or 1200 W electric air pump for the entire fleet. - ### Can I store the deflated SUP boards together in the tender garage? Yes, their identical 320 by 80 by 15 cm inflated dimensions mean they fold down to similar packed sizes, making them easy to stow side by side in a dry tender garage out of direct sunlight. ## Recommended for this article [SUP Paddle Board · €520.00 · 6 colours](https://dockee.it/product/breeze-106-sup-paddle-board)The Breeze offers a smooth, stable ride and uniform dimensions that make it easy to store in any yacht garage.
