This alluring and sturdy 42-footer is certainly appealing as a primary boat, but Denison Yacht Sales’ David Johnson, a former megayacht captain who is promoting the Italian brand in the United States, also thinks of it as a great tender for a 262-foot (80-meter) yacht. It certainly is cool and stylish enough.
Design and a sense of style might not be synonymous with tires, but rubber manufacturer and designer Pirelli is disproving that. In addition to clothing, shoes and accessories, Pirelli also has a line of stylish tenders built under license by Tecnorib in Italy.
A low profile certainly is a good thing when it comes to tenders. Florida-based Novurania’s range of Chase tenders has made that case since the series’ introduction. The range now includes the newer 23 and the 27 diesel-powered tenders, able to seat 10 and 12 people respectively.
Southampton-based Pascoe International has carved its niche in the luxury RIB market but is expanding its line. Stylish Pascoe tenders already ferry guests on and off the world’s most famous yachts, including Maltese Falcon. Ocke Mannerfelt Design has created one of Pascoe’s latest RIB models—the DT 7.5M—to offer a particularly smooth ride.
From bow to stern, the Carbon Craft 130T is only 13 feet (14 feet 5 inches when running), but you would never guess that from all that it includes. Storage compartments hold fishing rods, drinks, towels or tote bags, plus specially designed beach chairs. Two boat owners, who could not find what they needed, set out to design and build this versatile tender, which weighs about 900 pounds.
Personal Submarines are all the rage and now there is a new towable sub coming to the marketplace—the SeaBird from AquaVenture Watercrafts. Controlled with a joystick, similar to a jet fighter, the craft operates within a large cone behind its towing vessel.
The Austin Parker shipyard belongs to a wealthy and experienced boatbuilding family who also owns high-end restaurants. In 2008, the shipyard owners took over an established name and reached out to friend and designer Fulvio di Simoni to produce the next generation of Austin Parkers. Without overplaying it, they have a bit of a retro style with distant echoes of Maine fishing boats.
Take a closer look at three specially-designed tenders: Tender Shipyard’s classy limo tender, Centurion Boats’ powerful “hammerhead bow” wakesurfing boat, and Pirelli’s latest addition to their line, the 1400 Cabin.
Italian builder Kardis recently launched a 16-meter maxi RIB it calls the Akuma 50. The Akuma 50’s sinuous lines are emphasized in the aggressiveness of its deck shapes. Among the boat’s standout features are the aesthetics of its design and the greater functionality of its inflatable structure.
The Swedish company reRun designs and builds wooden boats with a classic appearance for the superyacht market. The company started in 2010 with the idea of launching a modern tender with a classic look. The design heritage comes from the boating style of the 1940s, with grand and alluring lines, beautiful and finely crafted details, all exuding genuine feeling.
