While you may be relaxing on your superyacht somewhere in the middle of the French Riveria, nothing is more rejuvenating than taking some of your best boat tenders out for a spin.
Stunning superyachts may be the epitome of wealth and status, with each vessel skillfully designed and decorated to any owner’s desired taste – still, for most yacht owners, the choice of boat tenders is almost as important as the choice of the yacht itself.
Whether it will fit in a tender garage, land on a beach, be used for waterskiing or drift, race or navigate through the canals of time, one thing for sure is boat tenders are a must-have when sailing the seas.
Decked out in sleek slat wood, air floors, or rigid fibreglass, each one surpasses the next with its splendour, grandeur and activities onboard. It may not be as big, but boy is it powerful – and all it takes is one flick of a button to unleash the power of the almighty.
With hundreds to choose from, here are some of the top listed boat tenders fit for a gentleman and his entourage:
The Sleek And Saucy Wajer 55
The Wajer 55 is the Netherlands-based company’s largest powerboat to date. Its 16m long sporty exterior places owners and guests at centre stage to optimise the onboard experience. The tender can hold automated spray hoods, a movable cockpit floor and a swim platform that doubles as a gangway through intelligent superyacht style innovations.
This gorgeous and incredibly spacious, Dutch-designed centre console yacht boasts a top speed of over 40 knots, but you can still comfortably rest in any of the three berths down in the cosy cabin below. Skylights illuminate a fleet of four beautifully-upholstered captain’s chairs, which are right behind a Garmin display package and easy joystick controls.
The Windy SR52 Blackbird
It’s no surprise that Swedish yacht manufacturer Windy Boats should build and launch arguably the most stunning and technically advanced performance boat of this generation. The Windy SR52 Blackbird has the power to eliminate your breath away with its impressive speeds.
This jet-black super-tender will turn heads wherever you go. She is dark, profoundly desirable and effortlessly cool. The offshore handling is sublime, with 46 knots delivered through the perfectly balanced triple IPS engine installation.
The shade from the jet black bimini covers ample seating and lounging areas. Finished with a deep red colour, a stunning contrast to the high-gloss jet-black topsides and teak decking, it’s no wonder the black beauty was named the best chase boat in the world in 2015.
Introducing The Boat Tenders Named Mazu 42 Walk-Around
Last but not least is the Turkish company Mazu Yacht, whose 42ft boat is ideal for socialising. Made out of a lightweight carbon composite, the Mazu 42 combines a clean profile, expansive decks and large hull windows with outstanding performance, efficiency and handling. So prepare to sail around at a cruising speed of 36 knots while maintaining a required level of safety thanks to deep bulwarks.
