Best tender garage boats: 4 of the best options on the secondhand market

• Top stories

Owning a small inflatable tender adds an entirely different dimension to boating. Our used boat expert Nick Burnham picks out four of the best tender garage boats.

Having an inflatable tender is not just about convenient ship-to-shore transport when you’re in the middle of a harbour, or access to the beach when anchored in a cove.

A decent tender is something your children can play with (and hone their own boating skills on) and something you can go exploring the shallows or little creeks with.

The problem comes when you have a smaller boat, and dragging a sopping wet inflatable aboard, deflating it and wrestling it into its storage bag becomes a chore that largely outweighs the fun such a vessel offers.

Having tender garage boat solves this issue. Here is our pick of the best tender garage boats.

Princess v48.

Built: 2017 Price: £695,000

Princess had a V48 in the range before, but the nomenclature and the fact that it floated were about the only similarities. The new model, launched in 2013, was the first pod-drive boat from Princess, something the manufacturer combined with every trick in its armoury to create a boat that was substantially larger.

The big news was a full-beam master cabin, the first sub-50ft Princess sportscruiser to get one. In fact, even the forward cabin, now relegated to guest cabin status compared with the forward master of the original version, was larger than the previous boat as well as featuring scissor berths as an option. Between them, the large dinette opposite the galley could be swapped for a third cabin when the boat was ordered, but it was a rare option.

Behind the galley and dinette is a full-beam master – the first sub-50ft Princess to get one

Outside, you could choose from two versions, a deck saloon which puts a fully enclosed large saloon on the main deck, or a more traditional Open derivative, which stretches a cockpit beneath an open-backed hardtop for maximum day space. It’s this model you must choose if you want the garage, the deck saloon doesn’t have one. Hidden beneath the aft sunpads, it will easily accommodate a Williams 325.

Performance

Whichever version you chose, the engines were the same: a pair of Volvo Penta IPS600 pod drive motors which utilised the 435hp version of the 5.5 litre Volvo Penta D6 engine. The top speed should be more than 30 knots, but only with clean pods – efficiency drops quickly as they foul.

You’d need to opt for the open-backed hardtop model if you want the tender garage

High sides mean that a Princess V48 can catch the wind when manoeuvring at low speeds, but IPS has the answer in the form of a joystick that powers the boat in any direction you choose, even completely sideways. Out at sea, it’s a capable performer with low noise levels that make it a great cruising boat.

Specification

LOA: 50ft 10in (15.5m) Beam: 13ft 6in (4.1m) Draught: 3ft 9in (1.1m) Displacement: 14.2 tonnes Fuel capacity: 1,325 litres Engines: Twin Volvo Penta IPS600 435hp diesel engines Contact: boats.co.uk

Windy 39 camira.

Built: 2015 Price: £345,000

With a 40 Maestro sportscruiser already in the range when the 39 Camira launched in 2014, the manufacturer was free to create what is unashamedly a driver’s machine. It is pure, undiluted Windy – very fast, very capable and very well put together.

If you think of the 39 Camira as the ultimate cuddy cabin sportsboat , its lower deck layout makes perfect sense. There is no pretence at seating, with nowhere to sit and relax at all.

And there’s no galley either, just a small utility area that houses a fridge (two on earlier boats) and a microwave. The payoff is two really decent cabins – far larger and more comfortable than you might expect from the sleek external profile, and a large heads with a separate shower stall.

With no sidedecks, access to the foredeck is through an opening section of the windscreen next to the helm

The cockpit is what this boat is all about. Full beam its entire length (to access the foredeck you step up and through the opening windscreen, there are no side decks at all), there’s an entirely driver-focussed helm with a double-drop bolster seat plus a third seat adjacent.

Originally the boat came with two semicircular seats (that could slide together on tracks) facing a bench seat aft, but Windy later launched the version you see here with a more conventional C-shaped seat around a table.

This second version also gets a larger garage, allowing a 2.4 metre inflatable to be stowed. In both cases, catering is done via a wet bar and since this is also effectively the saloon, an easy to deploy canopy lifts into place over it and power tensions once you clip the sides in place.

Windy initially offered twin D6 engines with either 370hp or 400hp, although it’s hard to imagine anyone choosing the former (and indeed, no one did). The 400hp motors pushed the top speed into the mid 40 knots.

The later version of the Windy 39 Camira has a larger tender garage that will house a 2.4m inflatable

A 24-degree deadrise at the transom indicates a very deep-vee hull and gifts the boat tremendous ability. Ultimately it’s not how fast it is that impresses, but the way the speed is maintained as conditions deteriorate.

Specifications

LOA: 39ft 4in (11.9m) Beam: 12ft 0in (3.7m) Draught: 3ft 3in (1.0m) Displacement: 7 tonnes Fuel capacity: 810 litres Engines: Twin Volvo Penta D6 400 400hp engines Contact: Berthon International

Fairline Targa 40 yacht tour: This sleek sportscruiser is larger on the inside

Video: windy 39 camira – used boat review, fairline targa 40.

Built: 2015 Price: £159,950

Launched in 2001, Fairline ’s new Targa 40 replaced the previous Targa 37. The basic two-cabin twin-diesel family sportscruiser layout remained, but that extra few feet allowed the builder to incorporate something the 37 never had – a tender garage.

Often referred to as the “golden period”, early noughties Fairlines are always exquisitely finished, and the Targa 40 is no exception, a feast of rich, highly polished cherrywood, pale leather and brushed stainless steel greet you as you descend to the lower deck.

The layout doesn’t throw up any surprises – a central double bed awaits you in the forward cabin with space for two guests aft in the mid cabin in beds that run transversely beneath the cockpit. The dinette opposite the galley can be used as extra sleeping space. The heads features a rotating shower screen.

The dinette offers extra sleeping space when needed for guests

The cockpit is a surprisingly good size considering the space-sapping tender garage aft (you gain some of the length back by not needing a bathing platform long enough to take a tender).

Cunningly, Fairline has left the sunpad on top of the garage fairly short, but equipped the aft cockpit seat with a backrest that folds forward so that you can sacrifice seating for lounging when the mood takes you.

Twin Volvo Penta KAD44 (260hp) or KAD300 (300hp) were the motors of choice when this boat was first launched. We tested it with the smaller motors and achieved about 32 knots in some pretty testing conditions – Fairline claimed 35 knots on flat seas.

But in 2005 Volvo Penta launched its D Series range, and the larger and more powerful D6 350hp engines fitted to this boat ought to push 40 knots.

Despite its age the Targa 40 still rates as one of the great Fairline sportscruiser hulls

Those testing conditions (force five with a large residual swell) gave ample opportunity to check out the sea-keeping. “A joy to drive,” is how we described it on our test. “Try as we might, we couldn’t get the boat to jump or skip, except off the top of the larger swells.”

LOA: 41ft 6in (12.6m) Beam: 12ft 0in (3.7m) Draught: 3ft 2in (1.0m) Displacement: 8 tonnes Fuel capacity: 746 litres Engines: Volvo Penta D6-350 350hp diesel engines Contact: JD Yachts

Cranchi 41 Endurance

Built: 2009 Price: £129,000

The Cranchi 41 Endurance lives up to its name, having evolved from the successful 39 Endurance, a boat that dates back to 1994. The most obvious difference is a forward sloping arch rather than the original’s rearward inclined arch, but the bathing platform is also longer. It’s a sportscruiser with the emphasis firmly on the “sport”.

Despite being over 40ft long, Cranchi eschewed the traditional two-cabin interior with a separate sleeping cabin at either end. Instead, Cranchi opted to leave the bulk of the accommodation open plan with a big horseshoe of seating forward that converts to an occasional double and just the one separate mid-cabin aft. If you really need two cabins, this boat isn’t for you but if you only need one, this is a great layout.

The open plan seating feels huge and converts into a double but there’s only one separate cabin

Despite a design that now dates back over a quarter of a century (or perhaps because of it), the 41 Endurance has lines that look just right. Sleek and well balanced, with a beautiful sweep of stainless steel windscreen frame, it’s one of those boats that looks like it’s doing 30 knots while still in the dock.

Three forward facing seats at the helm is a rare and welcome bonus, although the lounging area is a little cramped. However, the payoff is a sun lounger, and beneath it a shallow garage capable of swallowing a 2.4m inflatable.

The upgrades from 39 to 41 were not all cosmetic. The launch of the new boat coincided with the introduction of Volvo’s new D Series engines, together with drives capable of handling more power.

So rather than a pair of perfectly sufficient KAD series that topped out at 285hp with the KAD 300, the 41 pilot could enjoy twin D6 motors that topped out at 370hp for a top speed in excess of 40 knots!

There are three helm seats and a sunpad but the main dinette feels a bit tight as a result

Uncompromised by the need for that forward cabin, Cranchi has been able to keep the forward hull sections sharp, allowing the performance of the hull to match the performance of the engines.

LOA: 42ft 6in (13.0m) Beam: 11ft 5in (3.5m) Draught: 2ft 10in (0.9m) Displacement: 7 tonnes Fuel capacity: 780 litres Engines: Twin Volvo Penta D6-370 370hp diesels Contact: One Marine

State-of-the-art superyacht tender garages

Jun 5, 2023 | docking , superyachts , Yacht news

In a previous article, we talked about winter storage and why it’s important . Today, we are going to see how to take storage to an extreme. Carrying tenders is a common feature of almost every luxury yacht, yet it’s the way in which these vessels transport them that sets the average yachts apart from the truly remarkable ones, which are able to effortlessly stow and deploy their tenders with unparalleled ease and sophistication. Take a look at some of the finest examples from around the world, starting with Nebula , the largest toy carrier with a helideck and a custom catamaran.

Nebula, a remarkable support vessel built by Astilleros Armón and Incat Crowther, boasts an impressive design that prioritizes accommodating toys, tenders, and crew. The tender garage, situated below the helideck, is a veritable marvel, featuring a 12.3-meter custom catamaran – endearingly referred to as the “shadow kitten” by designer Kirsten Schwalgien – as well as two RIBs and four Jet Skis, all effortlessly deployed via beam cranes boasting an impressive 11-tonne lifting capacity. To reduce the vessel’s height to three meters while hoisted on the deck, the top hydraulically lowers. Moreover, Nebula also boasts a full-size helicopter hangar, which can accommodate an Airbus H145 and provides cover for the tender garage below – the largest such hangar onboard any private vessel. Take a quick exclusive look on board.

Octopus is a world-renowned superyacht built for the ultimate exploration experience. It boasts an impressive fleet of watercraft that make it a marvel on the water. At the heart of the vessel lies the cavernous two-storey 36-metre internal wet dock. This is where the two main tenders are kept, ready to be launched through a giant transom door. The floodable dock is like having your own marina, with rows of smaller garages to store all the other water toys. These include a 9.3-metre custom Vikal limousine and two 8.7-metre custom Zodiacs, one for diving and the other for guests. Additionally, there are two 5.8-metre Zodiac Milpro MK-V available for watersports, as well as an impressive array of WaveRunners, jet skis, kayaks, surfboards, wakeboards, kitesurfers, windsurfers, and electric foil Fliteboards. To complete the fleet, Octopus features an 18-metre Delta 54, 13-metre Hinckley, and a new Triton 3300/6 submersible. With such an extensive range of watercraft, guests can enjoy almost any water-based activity they can think of, making it the ultimate exploration vessel.

The Wider 165, also known as Cecilia, was a major milestone for Wider, taking their innovative approach to yacht design to a new level. The float-in tender garage of Cecilia is a sight to behold, big enough to accommodate not only an eight-meter tender but also a three-person U-Boat Worx submarine. This impressive feature was a hit at the Monaco Yacht Show, where Cecilia made her debut. The Jules Verne-esque manipulator hand of the submarine, clutching a bottle of Bollinger, was a testament to the imagination and innovation that went into the design of this yacht. Launching the submersible is a breeze, thanks to the sophisticated crane installed overhead. But that’s not all that sets Cecilia apart from other yachts. When the tender bay is flooded, and both the tender and submarine are out, the area is transformed into a saltwater pool, providing a luxurious and refreshing way to cool off on a hot day. The aft end of the yacht is closed up, and the superstructure folds down on either side to create a vast sunbathing area on the long stern platform. The pool area is surrounded by comfortable sun loungers and shaded seating areas, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view. The innovative design of Cecilia truly raises the bar for luxury yacht design and is a testament to the creativity and vision of Wider’s team.

Sanlorenzo’s Seven Sins, the first 52 Steel model, is a true masterpiece of modern yacht engineering and design. The vessel’s standout feature is undoubtedly the float-in tender garage that effortlessly transforms into a luxurious beach club. To achieve this engineering feat, Sanlorenzo’s team had to work with limited space, leading to meticulous planning, poring over plans and a plethora of engineering challenges that had to be overcome. The tender garage’s technical aspects were numerous, including the opening transom door, the docking tender garage, the up and down floor level, and the 12-tonne swimming pool that sits on top of a glass bottom. Not only is Seven Sins’ tender garage a technical marvel, but it also provides an elegant and spacious platform for water sports and activities. Once the water is pumped into the tender bay and the tender slips out, terraces open up to port and starboard, and a teak-soled section lowers from overhead, creating a large beach club. The club’s beauty is heightened by the light filtering down from the glass bottom of the pool above, creating a serene and tranquil atmosphere perfect for relaxation. The team of architects and engineers at Sanlorenzo had their work cut out for them, but their hard work paid off, resulting in a breathtaking yacht that boasts a unique and innovative tender garage/beach club feature. Seven Sins is a testament to Sanlorenzo’s commitment to excellence, engineering, and design. The vessel’s ability to effortlessly combine practicality, elegance, and luxury is a testament to the innovation that Sanlorenzo is known for.

Abeking & Rasmussen is a name synonymous with excellence in yacht building and they did not disappoint when it came to Aviva. The 98.4 metre vessel boasts an impressive interior designed by British design house RWD, which won the coveted Best Lifestyle Feature at the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards in 2018. However, it is not just the luxurious interior that makes Aviva stand out among the world’s superyachts. Aviva also houses a customised 14-metre Hunton XRS43 tender which is launched from a cradle in the garage via tracks over the bathing platform. This is not just any tender, but a true feat of engineering. Built to handle the toughest conditions, the tender can follow behind Aviva in challenging seas, and be lifted up as the yacht moves along. The launch and retrieval system is incredibly sophisticated, with hydraulic arms and sensors ensuring a smooth and safe launch every time. Beyond the Hunton XRS43, Aviva’s toy box is filled with all sorts of watercraft and watersports equipment, including two Sea-Doo personal watercraft, Seabobs, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and more. And for those who prefer to stay dry, there is a state-of-the-art cinema and an observation lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer panoramic views of the surrounding seascape. Overall, Aviva is a masterpiece of yacht design, showcasing the perfect blend of luxury and adventure.

J’ade, the 58.2-metre CRN superyacht, is not only a sight to behold, but also an engineering marvel. With its transverse float-in tender dock designed specifically for an 8.24-metre Riva Iseo, J’ade is a testament to the innovative spirit of the CRN shipyard. The tender dock takes up almost the entire cross-section of the hull and contains around 5,000 gallons of water, making it the perfect spot to store and launch the Riva Iseo. Thanks to the engineers at CRN, the tender garage can be pumped out in less than three minutes, making it easy to access and launch the tender quickly and efficiently. To make this possible, the existing naval platform used for the shipyard’s 60-metre vessels had to be modified, and a study of the compartment’s effect on the ship’s trim had to be conducted to meet the classification requirements. Such attention to detail and commitment to excellence is what sets J’ade apart from other superyachts in its class. Not only is the tender garage practical and efficient, but it is also designed to protect the Riva Iseo from damage, with its very own tub. The underwater lights on the tender garage add a touch of dramatic effect to the whole experience. And let’s not forget the shell door on the port side that provides access to the tender garage from the water, making it even more convenient for launching and retrieving the tender. Overall, the transverse float-in tender dock on J’ade is an excellent example of how innovation and engineering can come together to create a seamless and luxurious experience for yacht owners and their guests.

Lady Fleur’s owners had a clear vision for their next build, one that would challenge the design team to create something truly exceptional. They wanted a yacht that was just 35 meters in length, but that would include a float-in tender garage and a swimming pool for their grandchildren. This was no easy feat, but the task ultimately fell to Bernd Weel Design and Holterman Shipyard, and it was on the first X-Treme Yachts X-105 model that this vision came to fruition. The engineering of the X-Treme Yachts X-105 is truly remarkable. This monohull can temporarily transform into a catamaran, at least for the aft third of the yacht. This is achieved by splitting the engine room into two watertight sections and building a compartment between them. When the tender is launched, the aft center section of the hull then lowers to allow the tender to float out or in. Once the tender is secured in the garage, the bay fills with seawater and rises to become a safe and secure 11-meter swimming pool that sits flush with the deck. The result is nothing short of remarkable. Lady Fleur’s unique features are both functional and visually stunning. When the yacht is at anchor, the swimming pool provides an incredible place for the owners and their grandchildren to relax and enjoy the water. When the tender is launched, the pool transforms back into a tender garage, and the yacht is once again ready to explore. These innovative features have not gone unnoticed. Demonstrations of the X-Treme Yachts X-105 at the Cannes Yachting Festival created traffic jams as curious onlookers stopped to marvel at the yacht’s unique capabilities. The features also earned Lady Fleur two gongs at the prestigious BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards in 2023, a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of the design team and shipyard.

Panam, the luxury yacht built by Baglietto, is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and innovative features that make it stand out in the market. One such feature is the garage that can accommodate a 5.5-meter tender, which is transversally fitted aft of the engine room. This smart design allows for maximum use of space without compromising on performance. The garage’s lower edge is placed below the waterline, ensuring that launching and retrieving the tender is a breeze. Baglietto has ensured that this operation is quick and efficient by designing the garage to fill with seawater before the shell door opens. The seawater immediately drains when the retrieving operation is complete, and the door is closed, ensuring that the tender remains safe and secure inside the garage. In addition to the efficient and safe tender handling, Panam boasts a winch and balancing cradle that ensures that the tender is towed inside with utmost precision. The innovative design allows the tender to enter the garage floating, making the embarkation process effortless and quick. This is particularly useful for guests who are eager to explore the waters and enjoy the yacht’s various amenities. The garage design is also partially floodable, which means that the tender can be stored in seawater, further increasing its protection and ensuring that it is in the best condition at all times. Overall, the transverse tender garage on Panam is an excellent example of how innovative design and engineering can enhance a yacht’s functionality and performance. With its smart design, quick and efficient tender handling, and partial floodability, the garage adds a new level of convenience and luxury to Panam, making it an ideal choice for those who want to explore the seas in style and comfort.

The future of superyacht tender garages is promising and exciting. With advancements in technology and design, superyacht owners and builders are exploring new ways to enhance the functionality and versatility of these spaces. One trend is the use of partially or fully floodable garages, which allow for easier and safer launching and retrieving of tenders. Another trend is the integration of multi-functional spaces, such as transforming tender garages into beach clubs or swimming pools. As superyachts continue to increase in size and complexity, the possibilities for innovative tender garage designs are endless.

Aboard the Bavaria C57 – the boat that has changed so much for Bavaria Yachts

• Toby Hodges
• April 5, 2017

A new designer and new construction processes kicked off a big year of change for the German Bavaria yard, says Toby Hodges.

In January 2016 Bavaria stole the show at the world’s largest boat show in Düsseldorf. By choosing to combine its sail and power stands, Bavaria bucked the trend and took over a large section of what was previously one of the sailing yacht halls.

It certainly cost the German company a tidy sum (thought to be around €1.3m) – but it reportedly sold 130 boats at the show, so the financial risk appears to have paid off.

Bavaria had another trick up its sleeve for the 2017 Düsseldorf show: the debut of the first C57 – the largest yacht the company has ever built (see my video first look taken at the show).

Of equal surprise is that it has moved from using Farr Yacht Design to the Italian firm Cossutti Yacht Design for this new C57. Maurizio Cossutti is perhaps best known as an ORC specialist and his influence is immediately evident in the C57’s more performance-oriented design when compared to past Bavarias.

Twin rudders are used to provide control to a generous sailplan, one that can fly 136sq m of upwind sail area and a 232sq m gennaker.

The C57, like many of its competitors today, has a largely flat deck design that maximises comfort at rest. There is a tender garage built into the transom, which is large enough to house a fully inflated Williams Jet tender.

Down below there is a choice of three, four or five cabins plus there is a potential crew cabin in the forepeak.

Modern day Bavaria

Bavaria has had to adjust its production line method to allow it to introduce larger models. This is a highly necessary response to its competition, all of which are building yachts of 60ft or longer.

Bavaria has changed the set-up of one its four production lines to build this C57 plus its E-Series of powerboats.

The yard now uses an innovative new modular system, in which the interiors, hulls and decks are built on three parallel tracks. Only once they reach the end of this 125m long track are the yachts then assembled and finished.

“The two cabins and their bathrooms are constructed outside the hull, including all cables, hoses and installations,” said Bavaria’s marketing manager, Marcus Schlichting. “The shipyard therefore guarantees higher quality.”

In another step-change for the yard, the hull and deck of all Bavarias are now built using vacuum infusion to produce lighter more stable hulls in a more environmentally-friendly manner. This is the start of what could very well be a revolutionary year for one the world’s largest yacht builders.

VQ54 with tender garage

published May 2020

Two new VQ54s currently being built are based on the successful VQ48 theme. They will be equipped with the latest award-winning MAN i6-800 diesel engines and feature a Williams tender on board with its own garage.

The MAN i6-800 in-line six-cylinder engines have won the international Red Dot award 2016 for their excellent design. “With The introduction of the i6, we now have an MAN engine means we can add a handsome appearance to our reputation for which no longer purely represents reliability and power.

The outstanding design of the i6 is the “icing on the cake” for luxury yachts, and next to dynamics, as it also brings aesthetics firmly into the engine room,” says Claus Benzler, head of MAN Marine Engines.

The VQ54 is powered by surface drives, allowing it to develop a spine-tingling 45 knots. For added fun and functionality, the boat comes with its own tender bay which can easily accommodate a fast Williams 285 Turbojet. For easy accessibility, the door of the garage opens aft.

Some 16.60 metres in length with a 4.91-metre beam, the VQ54 provides an enormous amount of open deck space and freedom of movement. She is the ideal party boat for Ibiza, according to one of the proud new owners. Unequalled music quality is, as with the VQ48, ensured with a n awesome  sound system that will be custom fitted and adapted to the specific characteristics of the boat and the owners’ personal wishes.

The fast Williams tender can be used for wakeboarding with the kids on the open sea within safe reach of the VQ54, and the tender allows the owners to get around easily and pick any quayside restaurant for lunch or dinner without having to worry about access.

The VQ54 design is also fully balanced. The bold lines give the yacht a distinctive and dynamic appearance that is clearly recognisable from a distance.

In addition to the three characteristic VQ Yachts qualities of manoeuvrability, cruising comfort and total custom construction, a great deal of attention has been paid to storage space for all kinds of luggage, diving equipment and other toys. The interior includes a spacious shower room with toilet as well as a comfortable berth for two people. On deck there is a large kitchen with substantial refrigerators that is ideal for al fresco wining and dining. Additional shade on the motoryacht can be provided by various bimini systems.

The 60m custom luxury motor yacht j'ade by crn has a great designed in-built dry dock - floodable tender garage for a riva iseo boat..

J’ade was built in steel (hull) and aluminum (superstructure) and has a beam of 10.20m. She has four decks and a sub lower deck. J’ade accommodates ten guests in 4 VIP cabins and an owner’s suite. A crew of 13 crew members ensures the yacht’s operation.

The concept of the vessel’s decor is reflected in its name J’ade, that is, jade green, a color that is used in different shades for the decoration of the yacht.

When the yacht was for sale in 2019, J’ade had an asking price of € 29,000,000.

J'ade features one of the most stylish tender garages for a RIVA Iseo

The garage, for the first time onboard a CRN yacht, is floodable, and the tender (a 27 foot Riva Iseo) drive in when the basin is flooded with water. The tub has protection to avoid damage, and it also has underwater lights to create a dramatic effect.

The garage can be emptied very quickly and dries out in three minutes. The upper deck has a large cockpit and a spacious upper salon, with full-length windows, which create a wide panoramic view and increase the “eye-contact” with the sea.

The aft on the main deck has an area with exquisite sofas and armchairs made of natural teak with black all-weather fiber. All the outdoor furniture of the main, lower and upper decks – sofas made of natural teak with white and green covers – is by Glyn Peter Machine The big main salon has a wide-open elegant and comfortable layout with warm and welcoming shades, which harmoniously match with all the other elements.

As you enter from the cockpit, on the left, one immediately notices the bar area with a green marble top and a structure made of rosewood with leather tops, on which there is a big aquarium, which was the Owner’s special request.

Solaris Yachts continues to evolve and reinvent itself: we are excited to introduce our new Solaris 50’.

Following the success of the Solaris 48’ and 50’ over the years, we started designing new waterlines. This project led to the creation of a new Solaris 50’ with an LOA of 15,50m and beam of 4,78m.

The result of the innovative waterlines is the extension of the aft sections. This solution allows the use of the twin rudder blades. Also, we succeeded in designing a tender garage with longitudinal access, a unique solution on yachts of this size. This improvement simplifies the use of the dinghy, that is secured in its own watertight garage.

On deck, a broad cockpit, already tested on the Solaris 40’ and Solaris 60’, guarantees freedom of movement.

The wider cockpit of the new Solaris 50’ can accommodate one or two cockpit tables.

Among the exceptional advantages of this boat, it’s worth noting the full width steering wheels that improve visibility, even while using the sprayhood. Thanks to the steps forward the steering area, the water slips away from the side decks, creating a safe environment and allowing very comfortable navigation. The original steps also simplify movement on the deck.

Special attention has also been given to the interior details, in particular to the finishing of the saloon and the owners cabin: the collaboration with Poltrona FRAU, the prestigious leather manufacturers since 1912, enable you to customise the interior of your Solaris according on your needs and personal taste.

2024 Hanse 590 flagship teased ahead of Cannes debut

The hanse 590 marks the fifth new member of its premium sailing yacht family.

German sailing yacht maker Hanse has teased a new flagship model, the Hanse 590, as it puts a pin in what will grow to become a five-model line-up.

Hanse's new model , suitable for single-handed sailing, features lines drawn in collaboration with Berret-Racoupeau. At the forefront of the design were excellent sailing characteristics and an “enormous volume” that Hanse says has allowed it to build in a high level of comfort.

“From the diverse design options below deck to the extremely spacious owner's cabin and the well thought-out cockpit with plenty of space and freedom of movement,” it said in a statement announcing the Hanse 590. 

“From the optional hardtop, the largest in her class, which provides shade and protection when required, to the sun lounge on the foredeck and the large dinghy garage with the smart tender system behind the huge bathing platform. 

“The Hanse 590 offers every amenity that is possible in this class.”

The smart tender system appears to be an opening section of the transom that drops down to reveal a tender garage built in under the expansive cockpit floor.

Short-handed set-up

Only two images were released showing the new model, with no real clues about how the Hanse 590’s interior will look.

However, the cockpit looks well-suited to shorthanded sailing with winches set up inboard beside and in front of the twin helm stations, which are pushed right back to the transom. Forward of this is an informal lounge/dining space on either side of a central companionway leading below.

Overhead is a large optional hardtop with what appears to be a retractable section that gives the skipper easy sight of the mainsail while underway but can close up to provide shade while anchored.

Bow and stern thrusters make the Hanse 590 easier to manage in a marina.

Hanse says its signature chines, an elegant silhouette and a reverse bow give the new flagship model a “striking appearance”.

“At the same time, the sophisticated hull design contributes to her stability and performance,” it says.

“Her bowsprit allows her to be optimally sailed at all times, thus ensuring the yacht's optimum performance on the water.”

The Hanse 590 will make its first appearance in a few months ahead of an official world debut at September's Cannes Yachting Festival.

Hanse Yachts, which builds brands including Fjiord and Moody, appears to be gaining strength as a company, earlier this year announcing the business had closed the books on record first-half earnings.

It recently launched the Hanse 390.

Your Guide to Choosing the Best Yacht Tender

A yacht tender is your ticket to freedom on the water. Once you drop anchor, it’s your ride to the fun and adventure that inspired you to buy a boat in the first place. Just imagine watersports, exploring, scuba diving, snorkeling and, of course, just relaxing in the warm sun!

Here’s a quick secret — your yacht tender is the most fun boat you’ll ever own.

We think a dinghy should not only reflect the beauty and precision of a yacht but also have the power and functionality to push fun to the limit. Is there any better way to celebrate dropping anchor than a cold drink and a zoom on the dinghy? Please, let us know if you find something.

Having the right tender lets you enjoy your boating experience to the fullest. There are a few things to consider when picking the best yacht tender for you, so we made this guide to help you through the process. We’ll go over:

• The benefits of rigid inflatable boats
• Pricing of small yacht tenders
• How to pick the right dinghy
• A brief overview of our models

There are lots of yacht tender options out there, and it’s essential to find the best one for you. Whether you’re looking for the best small boat or superyacht tender, we’ll give you the information you need to find the perfect dinghy for your life on the water. Read on to learn how to pick the perfect yacht tender.

The Benefits of Rigid Inflatable Boats

Rigid inflatable tenders have become the go-to choice for boaters. Here’s the deal.

Safety is always the first priority when you’re on the water. With the ever-changing conditions of an ocean environment, you need a tender that’s prepared to handle it all. There’s a reason the United States Coast Guard, military and police use rigid inflatable boats — they’re extremely seaworthy. The United States Navy describes rigid inflatables as extremely fast and buoyant. It employs them for Navy SEAL extractions and in intense ocean conditions.

Virtually unsinkable and super tough, rigid inflatable boats are hands-down the best choice for those who desire small yacht tenders.

What Do You Mean by Rigid Inflatable Boat?

Commonly called a RIB, a rigid inflatable boat has a hard hull and inflatable tubes for sides. This construction gives rigid inflatables the best of two worlds — they have the indestructible v-hull and tracking of a hard boat and the shock absorption of an inflatable boat. They’re as hardy as they are versatile. For example, we offer Navy-tough tenders with beautiful European craftsmanship that you can’t find anywhere else.

In addition to their durability, RIBs offer many other advantages. Here are a few more reasons why RIBs represent a smart investment.

RIBs Provide Stability

In a rigid inflatable tender, there’s little risk of tipping over because the inflatable tube and hard hull combination provide excellent stability, which is great for loading and unloading your family and your toys.

Also, the inflatable tubes significantly increase a tender’s capacity rating, meaning you can safely fit more passengers and gear on a RIB than on a hard dinghy. Known as the “Safe Working Load,” or SWL, this capacity is detailed by the manufacturer. To calculate the maximum number of people who should be aboard a small vessel, multiply a vessel’s length by width and then divide the result by 15.

RIBs Demonstrate Impressive Efficiency

Inflatable dinghies are much lighter than hard tenders. Weighing less means they’re much more efficient, and you can pack in a lot more adventure with the same amount of gas. Skip the line at the fuel dock, and head straight into your day.

RIBs Have Exceptional Safety

A great benefit of having an inflatable tender is you don’t have to worry about damage to your luggage or your precious cargo. We all have all experienced that awkward misstep aboard boats. When everything and everyone is moving around in the ocean, you may have trouble not fumbling every once in a while. It’s much nicer to catch yourself on the cushioned tubes of an inflatable than on hard fiberglass — we’ve tested this one!

When you’re going fast and having fun on the water, you don’t want to worry about safety. Knowing you’re in the safest dinghy lets you relax and focus on your adventure.

The United States Coast Guard has specific safety requirements for all recreational vessels. Adhering to these not only keeps your tender legal, but it also keeps you and your family safe. You can follow a simplified list of requirements.

It’s Easy to Use RIBs

For everyday boating operations, having an inflatable-sided dinghy is the best. You don’t have to deal with fenders or worry about all the bumps and nudges like on a hard tender.

Getting a spot at the dinghy dock often means playing bumper boats. If you have a dinghy with inflatable sides, you don’t damage other vessels, the dock, or your dinghy. Not to mention if you’re dropping someone off or tying up on your yacht, you can leave your dinghy unattended without worrying about damage to your boat.

Sometimes, it’s easier to tow your tender than it is to put it away — like if you’re changing to a nearby mooring or going to a secluded cove for the day. And unlike a hard tender, an inflatable can bounce off your yacht without damaging anything.

Anyone Can Maintain a RIB

Rigid inflatable boats need a lot less maintenance than hard tenders, partially because they’re less likely to get damaged in the first place. Inflatables don’t have fiberglass siding that can get cracks or holes, and their parts are easily replaceable. We offer replacement parts through our website and also have free online owners manuals for every model we carry.

RIBs are also much easier to keep clean than the scuff-prone fiberglass of hard tenders. The tubes are made of high-quality non-absorbent material that lets you easily wash off or wipe down your dinghy to keep it looking nice.

RIBs Are More Comfortable Than Hard Dinghies

Inflatable dinghies are bound to be more seaworthy than hard dinghies. The inflatable tubes absorb shock from wind waves and swell when you’re going fast, which gives you and your family a better ride.

Did we mention inflatable dinghies are just more fun? The incredible stability of the inflatable sides makes climbing out of the water a lot easier. And when you’re ready to cool off, the tubing makes for the perfect diving platform. You and your family can literally bounce off the walls.

How to Pick the Right Dinghy for You

Basically, choosing the best yacht tender comes down to three things:

• What tender your yacht can hold
• How many people will be aboard your tender
• How you’ll use your tender

Tender Sizing

Determining the right-sized tender for your yacht is an important decision. People sometimes go for the first inexpensive option they see, without realizing just how much time they’ll end up spending on their tender — but keep in mind, tenders are the unsung heroes of the boating world.

It depends on how you want to use your dinghy, of course, but a good rule of thumb is if you can go bigger, go bigger. You don’t want to overdo it, but people sometimes underestimate the size of the dinghy they’ll need and have to upgrade later. Leave yourself some extra leg room and you, your family and your guests, including loyal pets, will be happier in the long run.

Here’s what to consider when choosing the size of your tender.

What Size Dinghy Can Your Yacht Carry?

The size of your storage area is often a good indicator of how large your dinghy should be. If you’re not sure what size dinghy is best suited to your yacht, measure the tender storage area or contact your dealer — they will give you the specifications of your dinghy storage and a suitable range of tender sizes.

Also, keep in mind what the type of storage area for a dinghy on your yacht. If you have a dedicated dinghy garage where it will be out of the way when not in use, you don’t have to worry about getting the maximum size. But if your dinghy storage is on a hydraulic swim step, keep in mind you’ll need enough room to function around the dinghy while it’s aboard.

How Many People Will Be Aboard Your Yacht Tender?

If your yacht has room for a lot of passengers, you’ll probably want a dinghy that can transport a lot of people, too. When you’re doing ship-to-shore transportation for you and your guests, you don’t want to make five trips to the dock and back. Choose a tender that can hold enough passengers and cargo.

Again, assuming you have enough room to store it, we recommend assessing your dinghy needs and then considering the next size up to leave room for any extra guests, luggage or toys you may want to bring along. Extra space not only helps you operate your dinghy more safely, but it also leaves room for comfort.

What’s the Purpose of Your Dinghy?

That’s easy — fun! Pick your pleasure.

Are you all about watersports and exploration? Water skiing and searching for secluded beaches to relax the day away or scuba diving on beautiful reefs? Or maybe you’re just looking for a stable and dry ride to shore to shop, dine and discover. Whatever it is you like to do, a proper tender gets you into the mix.

Once you decide how you want to use your dinghy, you’ll have a better idea of which one you’ll want. If you like watersports, maybe a model with a little more size and power will suit you. If you just want a comfortable, dry ride to shore, maybe you’d prefer a model that’s smaller and quiet.

By the way, kids love dinghies — it’s a fact. Inflatable dinghies are awesome for towing the kids around on inflatable water toys, and they’re also a great way to teach the young ones how to drive a boat. But be careful — you’ll be asking “permission to come aboard” before you know it.

A Step-by-Step Review of How to Pick Your Yacht Dinghy

Follow these five steps to ensure you pick your RIB correctly:

• Determine the size of tender your boat can handle.
• Estimate the number of passengers and how much gear you’ll carry.
• Figure out how you want to use your tender.
• Browse and pick your favorite model .
• Hit the open seas.

Tender Pricing Vs. Quality

There are cheap dinghy options out there, but you often get what you pay for. A proper tender is not only a representation of your yacht but an integral part of your boating experience. The yacht may do the heavy lifting on a voyage, but the dinghy is your transportation once you’re on anchor or a mooring.

If you work hard to create a luxurious atmosphere on your yacht, you’ll want a dinghy that reflects the same attention to detail that you expect from a precision watercraft. Our tenders are all about functionality without sacrificing style. We know a quality dinghy is essential to your yacht — that’s why we don’t cut corners. We pride ourselves on using the latest technology with only the best materials and precision European craftsmanship.

Yacht charters reimagined: The rise of the chase tender

By Editorial Team |   1 October 2021 2021-10-01

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

There has been a marked shift from the traditional tender used for performing myriad tasks; from transporting guests from ship to shore to crew provisioning, but generally offering little protection against the elements or the ability to accommodate all guests at once. Owners are increasingly demanding bigger and better tenders that not only cover greater distances at much faster speeds, but also come equipped with state-of-the-art amenities, giving rise to the latest must-have superyacht toy ; the chase tender. 

What is a chase tender?

Traditionally used as a fast open boat that chased after large sailing yachts competing in regattas, chase tenders have evolved to meet the demands of the new superyacht Owners. 

Chase tenders can range from anywhere between 9 and 20 meters in length and be highly-customised and luxuriously equipped with a multitude of options; from accommodation to the latest technology, as well as boasting extensive cruising latitudes and impressive top speeds. And with Owners giving their traditional tender garage over to the popular beach club, it has become ever more practical to invest in a larger tender with all the bells and whistles.

Due to their size they are generally not stowed aboard the yacht with the other tenders, instead they are towed or driven separately, and often come with their own crew. 

What are the benefits?

With the freedom to be independent of the main yacht, the chase tender can provide a number of benefits. The main one being the ability to act as a day boat, exploring destinations with greater ease and speed to any number of must-see destinations, from medieval coastal citadels to secluded idyllic beaches.

The chase tender also enjoys a greater capacity for superior amenities and storage, with many already equipped with dining areas and cold food and drink storage as standard, making them ideal for day-long adventures. They can also be customized with added luxuries such as WiFi, state-of-the-art sound systems, additional sleeping cabins and retractable beach landing platforms, upholding the same level of superyacht luxury as the mothership.

The chase tender is also ideal for performing reconnaissance missions, zipping ahead to explore various excursion options or scoping out pretty anchorage spots, while guests enjoy a leisurely lunch underway onboard the main yacht.

This acts to save time whilst the yacht is underway with her guests, so they can jump off the minute she arrives and explore their new destination.

Chase tenders are becoming increasingly popular as they are not only reliable, practical and stylish, in terms of yacht charter appeal they can really make a superyacht stand out from the crowd. We have rounded up our selection of some of the best superyacht chase tenders tailor-made for sublime cruising and epic excursions.

7 New Dayboats That Bring Superyacht-Style Design to the High Seas

Think of them more as day yachts., kevin koenig, kevin koenig's most recent stories.

A dayboat is exactly what it sounds like—a vessel to spend the day on before retiring to somewhere else to spend the night. Traditionally it’s a European style of boating, relegated to boats in the 30- to 50-foot range. But in the last few years, thanks to a flood of new owners, the dayboat market has seen big design changes and enormous growth—literally. The boats keep getting larger to the point where many should be rightfully be called day yachts . The trend started with the HCB Custom 65 . The boat, Estrella , was a monster center-console design, powered by six outboards totaling more than 3000 hp. That 2018 launch set a new standard for dayboats.

But the new generation of maxi-sized dayboats aren’t limited to utilitarian center consoles. The 77-foot Wajer that former quarterback Tom Brady purchased last year is a good example of a more yacht-like design, while the 115-ft. Vanquish Veloce VQ115 is an even more dramatic case.

These new designs, all with large staterooms, show how much the definition of dayboat has changed from smaller open boats. The intent of the design is now as important as the form—to maximize exterior space, and with it, the number of guests who can come on board to enjoy a day on the water. There are the usual salons, galleys and heads, but the focus is the exterior, or in most cases, the blending of the interior and exterior through large glass doors that slide and conceal to connect inside and out.

Here are seven of the largest, newest dayboats on the water today.

Vanquish VQ115 Veloce

Vanquish’s VQ115 Veloce is the largest dayboat on this list. The 115 has an aluminum hull, and with triple 2,650-horsepower MTU Rolls-Royce V16s matched to surface drives, Vanquish says it can hit speeds of 50 mph. The VQ115 has two separate tender garages: one for a VQ16 and the other a VQ11, both bearing a resemblance to the mothership. A Jacuzzi on the boat’s foredeck is sure to be a popular at anchor, while the aft cockpit connects to an open-arrangement salon via sliding glass doors. That arrangement puts the day in day yacht. A boat this size will be able to accommodate four crew members.

Scout 670 LX

Currently under build in South Carolina, the Scout 670 LX will be the largest center console ever built when it debuts at the 2024 Miami International Boat Show. With five 600-horsepower Mercury outboards, this Scout should see top speeds close to 60 mph. Three different versions of this boat will be made available, including an LXF (luxury fish), LXC (luxury cruiser), and LXS (luxury sport). The boat was designed in conjunction with superyacht design studio Harrison Eidsgaard. It will be constructed in carbon-fiber epoxy. The forepeak master will have its own en suite—a design breakthrough for vessels of this type.

When you’re the greatest quarterback of all time, and also find yourself back on the singles scene in your early 40s, what better way to re-acclimate yourself than a hot boat? And that’s exactly what Tom Brady bought for himself. The Wajer 77 is a Dutch-built dayboat with one of the most beautiful sterns in yachting. It has a 40-mph top speed and cruising range of over 400 miles. Wajer’s trademark walkaround design opens up the alfresco entertainment options onboard, meaning the boat can ferry large numbers of guests comfortably to the sandbar and back. The boat also has three staterooms, plus crew accommodations for two, as you might expect from a dayboat this large.

With an axe bow and a reverse-rake windshield, mirrored by a reverse-rake windscreen on its flybridge, the Pardo Endurance 60 conjures up the profile of a stylish workboat. But it is built for play. Its walkaround design couples with foldout terraces in the cockpit to open up the deck space for entertaining. A hydraulic swim platform aft holds a tender for easier beach access, or it can double as a beach club. The Pardo has twin 600-horspower Volvo Penta D8s matched to IPS drives, making it easy to dock and maneuver at slow speeds. The boat runs the low-to-mid-20-mph range.

Bluegame 75

Unveiled last year at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Bluegame 75 is the first edition in a line of multihulls the Italian builder plans to release. Bluegame is known for its innovative designs, and this boat was penned in conjunction with Bernardo Zuccon and Piero Lissoni with a hullform that mimics an America’s Cup chase boat. The 75 will also be able to carry up to 56 solar panels to minimize its carbon footprint. The interior layout is intended to maximize the boat’s natural beaminess. Open arrangements the norm particularly on the lower deck, where an unorthodox salon lies at sea level, and the upper deck is fully open for social events.

Zeelander 7

The 66-foot Zeelander 7 is this Dutch yard’s new flagship. Zeelanders all have similar lines as well as high levels of fit and finish. The boat has a foldout beach club from its transom, with a generous amount of tumblehome. A four-stool bar at the bulwark separating the cockpit and salon complements a dining settee in the aft section of the cockpit. The boat’s fully enclosed salon has nearly 360-degree worth of windows. This boat can reach 40 mph at top end.

From Brazil comes the Okean 80, a boat clearly built for a party. Like its smaller sisters, the builder’s flagship has foldout terraces to port and starboard on its main deck. Also on the main deck is a pane of smart glass between the helm and salon that can become see-through or opaque at the touch of a button. Up top, the 80’s flybridge features a wetbar and modular furniture. A beach club at the hydraulic swim platform is partially recessed into the transom for shade, a design trait which adds a sense of gravitas to the space.

I have been wondering what others have thought about the trend for ever increasing number and size of garages built into yachts. Personally it is the dumbest idea in naval architecture. Why: It takes up valuable interior volume best applied to accommodation... It makes boats hard to get at in any kind of sea... It seems to make for a messy catch all area... just like house garages now-a-days... What you the rest of you think... its popular surely but I cannot see why.

Not sure what size boats you are referring too. On smaller boats (under 70/80') it comes down bring a compromise and personal preference. Yes they take space, often in the the ER or laz but at the same time they free up the swim platform Personally I find the worst spot for tender storage to be the swim platform/stern lift. The tender is always in the way making the platform unusable. It also makes line handling much harder and often prevent crossing stern lines I also find it a lot harder to launch and retrieve especially in a chop. A you often have to get your feet wet which can be a pita in cold climate I ll take a FB stored tender any day... Yes you loose FB space and are putting extra weight up high but it s a lot faster to haul the tender up (in decent weather obviously) It s all about compromise and ranking your priorities

True... Tenders are as expensive and the whole yacht used to be (in my lifetime). Makes one think being the tender business might be smarter than being in the yacht building business. True... A tender stowed on deck can be in the way and look ugly and the deploying mechanism (the crane) is exposed to the elements and therefore can add maintenance. I have seen, not experienced, tenders stowed on deck in a permeant built-in cover housing... but this just seems added bother to deal with and if carried to extreme its extreme is like a naval helicopter hanger (god awful ugly) True... A big enough boat or designing the boat for adequate accommodation AND adding a tender garage... what's that going to hurt excepting the pocketbook as yachts tend to cost something like the length to the 4th power... a steep geometric progression of cost to length... for a garage. True... the garage platform, particularly at the side (no experience with that) makes a nice egress point and a very nice dock at anchor... and solves the problem of lady guests and boarding at the gang plank directly from the tender. I know of more than one who has refused such operation and wants to be taken back to the dock! But... I am still not liking a mess to be the first thing people see at the dock... when stern to. Maybe this is a design and crew administration issue but it is an issue with ME. And, really that is how most of the time guests and family see the boat... a first impression. Looking at the Feadship F45 that looks pretty good solution... but I don't have $40 million to spend... and if I did would I buy a "stock boat"... likely not. But... This safety issue that bugs me is that usual Platform at the stern... some deployable on access to the garage... OK in my opinion... maybe if you don't consider a big hole in the hull near the waterline not a safety issue... even with a watertight access door... which tends to be left open too much. But even with gates you can go down on the platform underway... even with railing makes me nervous (not for myself) but for guests, and it is enticing. I should note I am squeamish as almost 40 years ago I slipped of the deck messing around in the Channel off French Coast near Guernsey AT NIGHT... and nearly did not live though it... if not a real good swimmer (Navy Drivers Training in my youth)... and very very lucky I would have been with Davy Jones. Don't tell me kids especially are always wanting to go down there and hang their feet off in the wake... stupid as that is... even, I have thought about it myself more than once. But... taking the tender on in any kind of 'chop' or wave action going on doesn't seem to feasible with most garage systems. At least with the crane you can payout more cable than needed get hook up and winch the tender up straight out of the chop. But this is just me... .
