About the eOPEN 3.4

The Zodiac eOPEN 3.4 is a compact electric rigid inflatable that can serve as a yacht tender or a small stand-alone day boat. Its 3.4-metre fiberglass deep-V hull is surrounded by a glued neoprene/Hypalon tube, and the complete package weighs 226 kg in the current headline specification. Propulsion comes from a Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 RS outboard with a Power 48-5000 battery. Zodiac lists capacity for four people and equips the boat with a console and wheel, mechanical steering, a tilting-backrest bench, bow cushion, side console seat and multiple storage compartments. The manufacturer’s ten-hour autonomy headline represents low-power operation, not high-speed endurance. A separate eOPEN range page gives the more useful full-power example: about 50 minutes at 12 knots for the 3.4-metre model.

Best For

Quiet yacht-tender duty and short harbour transfers
Compact recreational trips where easy handling matters more than long high-speed range

Performance in Context

Zodiac publishes approximately 50 minutes at 12 knots for the eOPEN 3.4 and up to ten hours of autonomy at low power. Load, tube pressure, wind, chop and reserve will affect both speed and runtime.

Battery and Charging

The standard package includes a Torqeedo Power 48-5000 battery, approximately 5 kWh. Zodiac lists a fast charger as an option; confirm standard and optional charge times, plug type and shore circuit with the dealer.

Availability and Pricing

The eOPEN 3.4 remains on Zodiac’s current site with an online configurator. Pricing varies by country and options; request a delivered quote including battery, charger, navigation lights, cover, EVA deck, ladder and trailer or davit requirements.
