2026 Ranger Tugs

2026 Ranger Tugs R-43 S

The Ranger Tugs R-43 S (Sedan) is the pinnacle of comfort, seaworthiness, and fun — thoughtfully equipped and designed and built by hand in the USA. The spacious salon seats 12 with a warm, conversational layout. Two private staterooms each have en suite heads with showers, and the full-size washer and dryer means you can truly live aboard in comfort. Twin Volvo IPS450 POD drives with joystick docking provide exceptional handling and confidence in all conditions. The state-of-the-art 22" Garmin navigation suite includes chartplotter, AIS transmitting and receiving, autopilot, and Fantom 24x radar. The large covered cockpit features an icemaker, sink, rotating transom seats, and Fusion stereo control. On the roof, a davit lift with electric winch allows easy tender stowage.

Bay Port Yachting Centre in Midland is Ontario's exclusive Ranger Tugs dealer.

The R-43 is built for cruising that becomes a way of life. From Bay Port's docks in Midland, Georgian Bay's 30,000 Islands spread out in every direction. Follow the Small Craft Route north through Parry Sound, Pointe au Baril, and Britt to Killarney, or push west into the North Channel of Lake Huron — widely regarded as world-class cruising territory. Head east on the Trent-Severn through the Kawarthas to the Thousand Islands and the St. Lawrence, or cruise Lake Ontario's north shore from the Bay of Quinte and Prince Edward County west to Toronto and through the Welland Canal to Lake Erie and beyond. For those ready to go the distance, the Great American Loop — 6,000 miles of eastern North America's finest waterways — is the trip of a lifetime, and the R-43 is one of the finest platforms to do it on. Twin Volvo IPS drives, 300 gallons of fuel, three climate zones, a full-size washer and dryer, and two private en suite staterooms mean you cruise without compromise, wherever the water takes you.
