The Castaway is ideally suited as a yacht/launch tender or as a family runabout. Castaway tenders have inflatable keels and sturdy transoms. The inflatable keels help performance speed and handling. All Castaway sizes have 3+1 Independent internal safety chambers to ensure if one chamber develops a leak the boat will continue to be buoyant and stable. There is a separate chamber in the bow and both the port and starboard sides, as well as an inflatable keel. As with the Bay-Runner series one of the key features is the full- length, removable, flooring system that ensures Aristocraft boats can take the knocks. The Castaway with its heavy-duty transoms are great as tenders and can be easily rowed . On all Aristocraft boats the two- piece oars are attached to swivelling oarlocks that allow for easy smooth rowing. Just snap the rear section of the oar out of the Oar-clasp and the oarlock will pivot out for instant use. The oars can be removed quickly from the oar-clasp
