LET’S TALK TENDERS

For years, the superyacht tender was just a commodity that had to settle for a place in the shadows. But from a necessary afterthought this indispensable tool has evolved into a coveted design toy. Owners now spend a fortune on handmade custom build miniature versions of their superyachts. At the same time, we’ve seen the rise of bigger chase and day boats. How can we explain this golden age of tenders? And what challenges do these vessels present for builders and crew?
