Unquestionably the finest choice for travelling to and from your charter yacht ; offering a stunning fully-enclosed seating area, technology-rich features, luxurious comfort and somewhere to rest your glass of champagne, you will be guaranteed to turn heads as you step ashore from a superyacht’s limousine tender.

Taking its style cues from the Venetian water taxi and aesthetic inspiration from superyacht design, the limousine, or limo, tender is in many ways the marriage of function and form. Just as varied as the luxury yachts they depart from, limo tenders range from the classically styled to those which capture the spirit of their mothership in a scaled down model.

Whether you’re heading to a restaurant or attending a glamorous event, the limousine tender is the ultimate way to arrive and ensures you’ll stay looking your best.

Here we have compiled our favourite limousine tenders on superyachts available for charter

10.5m/34ft Tenderworks Custom Limo Tender

Capable of a max speed of 41 knots, this Venetian-style limousine tender can carry between 8-12 passengers to and from the Feadship 93m/305ft motor yacht LADY S , and is designed to fit snugly in her garage once everyone is onboard. 

With its harmonious lines finished in a deep red, the tender recalls in more ways than one the iconic styling of the famous Riva yachts.

Stand-out features include multiple adjustable windows, iPad controls, luxury leather interior, screen with real-time Oculus eye display and, of course, a champagne cooler.

O'PARI

9.75m/32ft onda 321l custom limo tender.

With echoes of James Bond, this carbon composite deep v-hull limo tender showcases masculine dynamic lines, more like a sports car than a boat, and at a top speed of 42 knots it certainly feels like one.

With a colour scheme designed to match its mothership 95m/312ft superyacht O’PARI , guests (maximum 10) can relax in the tender’s luxurious leather and teak interior, which has been insulated to minimise vibration and noise. 

The full-length skylight allows light to penetrate the cabin, offering stunning views as guests are transported effortlessly ashore.

Stand-out features include a separate navigation console for privacy, espresso machine, wine fridge and swim platform.

11.08m/36ft Maori Yachts Limo Tender

Designed in collaboration with Sardina-based Marco Ciampa, this super-sleek limousine tender for the 95m/312ft Lurssen yacht MADSUMMER resembles a prowling wolf, with its low profile and silver exterior, capable of breaking into a sprint across the water at a whopping 42 knots.

With a capacity for 16 passengers, 10 inside and 6 out, plus 2 crew members, this high-performance, hand-crafted tender ticks all the boxes.

Stand-out features include lifting ‘T’ top to standing height, luxurious white leather and oak parquet interiors, air conditioning, marine-grade audio system with speakers, wi-fi connection and controls via iPad, as well as a beautiful foredeck seating area and handy stern sunpad for soaking up the rays as you cruise along.

14m/46ft Wooden Boats 14 Luxury Limo Tender

Beautiful, linear and sleek, this luxury tender to the breathtaking 107m/351ft Benetti superyacht LANA is guaranteed to stop you in your tracks. Capable of ferrying up to 14 guests and boasting a top speed of 40 knots, she will deliver you ashore in superlative style. 

Offering both stern and forward access, guests can enjoy her sumptuous leather seating, glass-panelled roof, coloured lighting and fabulous swim platform for ease of access on and off the mothership, as well as into the water. 

8m/26ft Custom Benetti Limo Tender

The first limousine tender ever built by the inestimable Benetti, this miniature version of the 63m/207ft motor yacht 11/11 is quite unlike any other tender currently on the water. 

Composed along the same angular lines and arctic white finish as her mothership, there’s no chance of any onlookers questioning which yacht the tender belongs to.

Interstingly, the design was based around the owner wanting a covered tender option after realising that exposed tenders frequently left guests dishevelled.  

9.6m/32ft Yacht Werft Meyer Custom Limo Tender

Showcasing a white sporty exterior, the custom Werft Meyer limousine tender, belonging to the 82m/268ft motor yacht ROMEA , has been designed and crafted in collaboration with her owner, representing a sophisticated statement of personal style.

With tinted windows to provide a degree of privacy and beautiful embossed wide cream leather seating, guests will arrive in flawless fashion for whatever engagement they have planned. 

This impressive limo tender plays host to a broad stern platform for easy boarding, as well as a glorious sunpad area. She also boasts some high-tech gadgets, including nifty integrated screens which can be released at a touch of a button and convenient electric windows and doors.

9.4m/31ft I.C Custom Limo Tender

Representing a one off design from Zuccon International Project, this limousine tender to the 85m/279ft luxury Lurssen yacht SOLANDGE has all the bells and whistles, and then some.

With capacity for 12 guests plus driver, along with a top speed of 40 knots, she cuts a fine figure in the water as she transports her guests in quick time to the harbour.

Her interiors are the epitome of luxury and elegance, with parallel leather sofas and teak finishes, stunning wraparound windows offering fabulous views, air conditioning, electric windows, light dimmers and impressive sound system. She also boasts a sliding roof to facilitate access, as well as a convenient swim platform.

9.8m/32ft Vikal Hybrid Custom Limo Tender

The illustrious Sam Sorgiovanni penned this limousine tender design, which follows two previous collaborations with 89m/290ft Oceanco superyacht BARBARA ’s owner, marking a truly bespoke handmade product of the highest quality and representing 33,000 man hours to completion.

With subtle geometric styling in leather, stone and wood grain finishes, this luxury limo tender is a master-class of bespoke luxury combined with phenomenal performance. With a maximum speed of 35 knots, guests can sit back and relax with a glass of bubbly as they are whisked across the waves.

Onboard highlights include a large sliding glass sunroof, retractable passerelle for safe passage on and off the tender and forward seating with a stern helm station, along with a host of high-tech features guests can readily expect in a limo tender of this calibre.

9m/29ft Custom Compass Limo Tender

Taking strong design cues from its 68m/224ft Abeking and Rasmussen mothership SOARING, this 9m “mini-me” limousine tender, capable of speeds up to 36 knots, will have guests in raptures once they step aboard.

A finalist in Boat International's 2021 Design & Innovation Awards, she boasts motorised doors and windows to allow for graceful entry. The spacious teak interior cabin showcases luxurious pale grey seating with the same gentle curves and signature orange line that perfectly reflects its sleek exterior. 

This tender has been designed with maximum comfort in mind, along with a raft of high spec features, including ventilated air con system, chiller, state-of-the-art sound system and integrated wireless charging.

The best tenders for yachts — Updated 2024

Tenders in a nutshell

A tender is a boat that services a larger vessel (referred to as the mothership ). It can take many forms and deliver a wide range of conveniences.

Historically called ‘ship’s boats, ‘ tenders have supported large vessels for centuries. They have been used for guest transfers, refuge boats, landing crafts, stowed on deck or towed astern—little has changed! 

Whilst the vast majority of tenders employed by smaller yachts are typically rigid inflatable boats, the modern-day superyacht considers a multitude of vessels indispensable.

Hull categories

We’ve been specialising in building boat tenders for over a decade, yet with such a degree of cross-over and with a seemingly endless request for custom configurations, categorising tenders remains a challenge.

Nonetheless, at the top-most level, we categorise all tenders under one of the following three hull types:

Fully Inflatable A lightweight vessel relying solely on inflation for buoyancy. 

Rigid Inflatable A vessel with a hull constructed from rigid materials such as aluminium or fibreglass, supported with an inflatable or foam collar for added buoyancy in high seas. 

Rigid   A fully rigid hull without a buoyancy collar of any type.

Tender sub-categories

In addition to hull type, we can identify most yacht tenders under the following sub-categories:

⌾ Open ⌾ Chase ⌾ Classic ⌾ Foil ⌾ Catamaran ⌾ Dive

What is an open tender?

An open tender is principally a single-deck boat with no enclosed cabin. Chiefly a guest transfer boat with ample seating both forward and aft, open tenders are day boats without accommodation above or below deck.

While we see many open tenders dedicated to guest transfers, by their very nature, they can also incorporate centre console boats, some dive boats, landing crafts, and even limousines.

What is a chase tender?

As the name suggests, a chase tender—which can also be an open tender—follows the mothership.

Chase boats can take on many guises since their main attribute is size. As a result, they are generally not stored on board but instead towed astern.

Often very angular in design, with excellent seaworthiness, chase boats need to be able to withstand the rigours of being towed by the mothership. Whilst a lot of large chase tenders can be operated entirely independently, towing very long distances (such as transatlantic) is not advised.

What is a classic tender?

Tenders with the hallmark of classic design are styled with an exquisite, continuous line from the head to the heel.

Echoing the lacquered freeboards of a Riva Ariston or the flawless veneers of a Hinckley picnic boat, a modern classic from the likes of J Craft or Wajer will feature a gracefully tapered form, avoiding right angles altogether.

What is a foiling tender?

Combining thrust with lift (as an aeroplane does), high-speed tenders have the opportunity also to become airborne.

Less drag, higher speeds and lower energy consumption are the key advantages, although from a guest comfort perspective, being elevated above a big swell scores very highly.

What is a catamaran tender?

Largely associated with utility boats, catamaran tenders (not to be confused with catamaran sailboats) present superyacht owners with a number of major advantages over their mono-hulled counterparts.

Favoured as a utility vessel, a twin-hulled catamaran can be built much wider than an equivalent-length vessel with a mono hull. It offers increased stability and, therefore, a more comfortable ride in bigger seas. Thanks to a smaller surface area, there’s also less drag, which results in faster speeds and higher efficiency.

What is a dive tender?

We build tenders optimised specifically for scuba diving, however, given the range of crossover in the market, the likes of amphibious boats, beachlanders, some centre consoles, landing crafts, open tenders, RIBs and utility boats can also work perfectly well for diving.

Storage, floor space and, most importantly, the convenience of easy access to the water are key attributes of a versatile dive boat tender.

The right tender for the job

So far we’ve categorised our tenders — now to define which tender is best suited to which scenario.

Amphibious Tender

✓ Rigid ✓ Rigid Inflatable ✓ Open ✓ Chase ✓ Tow or stow

Sharp stones, steep drop-offs, inclement weather, and changing tides needn’t worry your crew when you have the luxury of an amphibious tender. Visit almost any secluded cove or spit with virtually no risk of becoming stranded or beached.

Go where other boats simply wouldn’t dare, landing on shorelines in rough breaks and on rugged terrain. Be sure to do your homework, though, as most beaches and marinas will require permission to stroll out the sea on an amphibious tender.

Beachlander Tender

We are all about time spent on the water, but the sensation of stepping off a tender onto the warm sand is in itself a joy to behold. We don’t mean clambering over the side of a rib and bouncing awkwardly into the shallows. We mean stepping from a dry boat onto dry sand.

Whether you intend to spend the day in your swimmers or are off for an island excursion, getting wet feet before you begin should be a choice. 

We offer a beachlander option on any of our aluminium rigid inflatable boats.

Classic Daysailer

✓ Rigid ✓ Open ✓ Classic ✓ Stow

Strip back the layers of modernity that clothe large motor yachts and delve into a tactile sailing experience with a classic daysailer.   Built a short distance upriver from SYTT, the Spirit R30 is a daysailer that marries cinematic elegance with unparalleled craftsmanship.    Born from the same yard that graced the silver screen in iconic Bond films such as Casino Royale  and No Time To Die , this 9.2m yacht epitomises timelessness with its exquisite wooden construction.    Small sailing boats like the R30 can be de-rigged and stowed, nestled within a yacht’s garage or gracefully perched on deck.

Center Console

✓ Rigid ✓ Open ✓ Chase ✓ Tow or stow

Synonymous with the Florida Keys, the traditional centre console (or center console in the US), is typically a single-deck boat with the helm in the middle.

Geared towards recreational fishing, the centre console maximises the floor space while, crucially, allowing for full access around all sides of the boat. On smaller boats, seating is often sacrificed for floor space, while larger centre consoles fitted with cabins creep into the Sports Fisher sector.

Not intended to be an especially dry boat, both crew and guests are often exposed to the elements. The upshot is that centre consoles and, more so, sports fishers, tend to offer huge power, which is especially useful for long day trips from the mainland.

High-performance

‘Go-fast’ boats, as the name suggests, are built exclusively for speed. More commonly known as ‘cigarette boats’ due to their shape, go-fast boats are not for the faint-hearted. 

A craze immortalised by the Cigarette Racing Team, modern-day cigar boats can achieve speeds of over 100 knots. Largely impractical as a conventional superyacht tender, the range of high-performance boats have thankfully branched more into Centre Consoles. In turn, this presents superyacht owners with a high-performance chase boat of an almost unimaginable spec.

Landing Craft

✓ Rigid ✓ Rigid Inflatable ✓ Inflatable ✓ Open ✓ Chase ✓ Catamaran ✓ Dive ✓ Tow or stow

A vessel with a very military feel, a landing craft tender is designed to carry everything, including vehicles, from yacht to shore. 

With our ROAM Landing Craft , a button-operated super-strength bow ramp enables drive-on, drive-off capabilities, ideal for disembarking heavy items where lifting facilities are not available at shore.

Our landing crafts are built with a catamaran hull for enhanced stability. We also manufacture high-quality fold-up motorised boats .

Limousine Tender

✓ Rigid ✓ Open ✓ Classic ✓ Foil ✓ Stow

Surely the ultimate statement of sophistication — the limousine tender is the pinnacle mode of guest transfer.

A range of 6-14m and accommodating up to eighteen guests in consummate luxury, a fully enclosed guest cabin will often mirror the furnishings of the mothership.

Picnic Boat

✓ Rigid ✓ Chase ✓ Classic ✓ Stow

If leisure cruising and lunching were your only pursuit, you’d surely have a picnic boat. The quintessential day cruiser, a picnic boat is unequivocally designed for rest and relaxation on the water.

Inspired by the lobster boats of Maine, where the sloping rails from bow to stern made it easier for lobstermen to haul in their traps, the symbolic Picnic Boat represents everything exciting and romantic about a day out on the water.

Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB)

✓ Rigid Inflatable ✓ Open ✓ Dive ✓ Tow or stow

The workhorse tender of any yacht is the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB). Robust, versatile, and highly manoeuvrable, RIBs typically offer speed, buoyancy, and good handling on high seas. 

A foam or inflatable collar provides extra buoyancy in the event of taking on water, while in the case of RIB boats —which have a high deadrise—also acts as a spray rail for keeping the deck dry. Popular with superyachts, RIBs can be towed or stowed and used for a wide range of purposes.

✓ Rigid ✓ Open ✓ Dive ✓ Stow

Nothing allows us to explore an affinity with water quite like the experience of wakeboarding, wake surfing and water skiing.

We specialise in wake boat customisation, supplying specifically to superyachts.

SOLAS Rescue Tender

✓ Rigid Inflatable ✓ Inflatable ✓ Stow

In accordance with the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), all ships over 500GT (typically 50m+) must carry at least one fully compliant SOLAS Rescue Vessel (and a complement of life rafts). The rescue vessel must be stowed onboard and cannot be towed astern or located on a support vessel.

SOLAS Rescue Vessels must be able to carry five seated persons and a person lying on a stretcher. They must also have an automatic self-righting capability and the engine must be restartable following a capsize. Stable in a seaway (and deployable when the mothership is doing 5 knots), rescue boats may be either rigid or inflated and need to be operable in water that is 1-30°C. They also need to be able to start in -30°C air temperature.

First adopted in 1914, the SOLAS Convention was initiated as a direct response to the Titanic disaster. The Convention in use today is often referred to as the “SOLAS, 1974, as amended”. 

For any help and advice relating to SOLAS requirements, contact our team who have a depth of knowledge on the subject.

SOLAS Lifeboats

✓ Rigid ✓ Stow Unlike a SOLAS Rescue Vessel that can be inflatable or rigid hull, a lifeboat must have the latter.

Painted bright orange—or Pantone 144—a lifeboat can have a LOA no less than 7.3m.

Sports Fisher

✓ Rigid ✓ Tow

A close relative of both the Central Console and High-performance categories, a Sports Fisher is a dedicated recreational fishing boat. Despite the wide range of boats within this category, the Flybridge Sports Fisher is the most synonymous with the name. 

Large boats, often up to 25m, the archetypal fisher is perfectly suited to lengthy, deep-sea fishing trips. Typically built with berths, heads, a galley and a tower (perhaps even a live bait tank, too), a Sports Fsher is for serious big game fishing enthusiasts.

It’s quite a commitment for a superyacht when a large open or utility tender with rod holders would probably be just as effective if big game fishing was less of a priority.

Utility Tender

✓ Rigid Inflatable ✓ Inflatable ✓ Open ✓ Chase ✓ Catamaran ✓ Dive ✓ Tow or stow

A utility tender is the most versatile boat on the list. Ticking almost every box, a utility boat is somewhat open to interpretation. As much an entire category as it is an individual tender, a utility boat could easily take the form of a landing craft or open RIB.

Both promote an open deck space and satisfy the needs of crew in all manner of tasks, including the general movement of equipment and vehicles, refuge and provision runs, and guest and crew transfers.

The fastest superyacht tenders in the world

Sv alpha (78+ knots).

Launched at the 2017 Miami Boat Show and billed as "the world's fastest luxury yacht", the 11.7 metre SV Alpha has a claimed top speed in excess of 78 knots. This speed machine gets its power from a pair of 700hp Mercury Racing SCI engines paired to SSM6 surface drives, although a more sensible twin 520hp version is also offered.

Premium features include bespoke sunpads, a champagne cooler, underwater lighting and a high-end stereo system. Ideal for daytime entertaining, the SV Alpha can carry up to 15 guests on the ride of a lifetime.

X-Craft X-Line (55+ knots)

They might look more utilitarian, but few yacht tenders can beat the sporty handling and dry ride of a RIB.

The X-line from X-Craft is one of the fastest yacht tenders around, running at top speeds exceeding 55 knots (63 mph) and capable of catching some air along the way.

The deck configuration is customisable from eight to nine metres, meaning up to 11 customers can be carried in comfort.

Novamarine Black Shiver 140 (48 knots)

Italian yard Novamarine is no stranger to building high-performance custom powerboats, with 40 models sold to the Qatari Coast Guard alone, but the Black Shiver 140 is the pick of the bunch when it comes to speedy superyacht tenders. Motoring along at 48 knots even in choppy conditions, this aggressively styled tender cuts through the wave and boasts sporty handling without ever losing grip.

Available in both cabin and open guises, the 13.85 metre Black Shiver 140 can be fitted out with a small galley, heads compartment and shower. Engine options include inboard, outboard and jet-drive set-ups for a maximum output of 1,050hp. And with a triple 400hp Mercury outboard version on the way, this design looks set to rise even closer to the top of our list in 2017.

Goldfish 23 eFusion (47 knots)

As well as being one of the world’s fastest superyacht tenders, the Goldfish 23 eFusion is part of a fast-growing trend for  electric tenders .

Powered by a 194hp UQM electric motor, this 5.5 metre Scandinavian speedster boasts a twin stepped hull that can achieve a hair-raising 47 knots.

Castoldi JT21 (40.5 knots)

Italian jet drive specialist Castoldi knows a thing or two about speedy superyacht tenders, and the 6.24 metre Castoldi JT21 is the fastest in its collection, driven by a 260hp Yanmar engine to a top speed of more than 40 knots. The central helm position leaves room for up to 12 guests sitting forward and aft, while the jet drives are not only safer for watersports and swimming, but they also reduce the risk of running aground in shallow waters.

Limo tender to Sea Owl (40 knots)

For a fast yacht tender that is also undeniably beautiful, look no further than this limo tender by Hodgdon Yachts .

The award-winning limo tender to Feadship yacht Sea Owl has been customised to match the yacht and is as detailed as her highly bespoke mothership.

One of the top superyacht limo tenders , she offers comfortable indoor seating for trips to shore, getting there quickly thanks to a top speed of 40 knots (46 mph).

Iguana 29 Exclusive (40 knots)

Not only does Iguana Yachts' Iguana 29 Exclusive comfortably reach a top speed of 40 knots (46 mph), but it can do something that few fast superyacht tenders can.

The luxury-packed Iguana 29 Exclusive amphibious superyacht tender  goes from ocean running to driving right up on land, thanks to a rugged set of "arms" that drop down from her hull sides.

A fast yacht tender that is also primed for onshore exploration? Yes, please!

XTender 9.3 Custom Limousine (39 knots)

This 9.3 metre tender is an all-Dutch affair — designed in collaboration with naval architects Vripack and built in Almere by XTenders. Used as a tender for a 83.5 metre Feadship superyacht, this sleek design packs a punch, with an impressive 39 knot top speed out on the open water.

Key features including a rising coachroof and bimini that can covert the XTender 9.3 from a flat-out speed machine into an elegant limousine for carrying guests ashore.

Invictus 280GT (38 knots)

The 9.25 metre  Invictus 280GT superyacht tender is fast, and with lines by designer Christian Grande she is also super stylish.

Her x-bow cuts beautiful shapes across the water as she rides at speeds up to 38 knots (44 mph), propelled by a 320hp Volvo V8 sterndrive diesel engine.

Grande aimed to pack big amenities into the small package, so despite coming in under 10 metres, she still offers ample sunpads, a galley with fridge and a V-berth and toilet in the cabin.

Wider 32 (37+ knots)

The Wider 32 might have been designed to match the new Wider 165 flagship , but she is also an ideal standalone day boat.

She has a surprisingly spacious cabin hidden inside with two sofas that are convertible to beds and a fully stocked galley.

The Wider 32 can also be customised to match the yacht she services, seen on the water in a variety of colours already including orange, white and green. Best of all, this yacht tender is fast, hitting speeds of more than 37 knots (42.5 mph) when Boat International sea trialed the Wider 32  last year.

Todd has actively been buying, selling and restoring vintage boats since the mid-1970s. He has personally owned over 1,000 vintage boats.

Brooklin Boat Yard

Steve White and his crew at Brooklin Boat Yard have built some of the finest wooden yachts the world has seen over the past fifty years, ranging from simple, elegant daysailers to 90-foot cruising yachts of the finest caliber. Founded in Maine in 1960, BBY was selected in 2003 to restore the 84-foot commuter yacht Aphrodite built in 1937, experience which will pour like water right into the building of each new POSH.

Todd’s two feet are anchored in the storied history of classic wooden powerboats. He helps ensure that detailed design elements on the new POSH have a strong authentic thread as they deliver this special boat to their twenty-first century clientele. Todd sees this unique project as a new way to preserve the past for the next generation, building upon Hacker’s vision using today’s technology.

Bill Prince Yacht Design

Bill Prince has spent twenty years designing high-speed offshore powerboats, custom motoryachts and classic sailing yachts with passionate and technical dedication to yacht design at the highest level. His award-winning design talent has been infused into boats for Chris-Craft , Hinckley , New England Boatworks , Yellowfin Yachts and others, as well those for private individuals and the United States Coast Guard.

History of POSH

John Ludwig Hacker is widely considered to be the greatest American powerboat designer of the 20th century. The hull shapes he developed were derived from lessons he learned designing floats for the Wright Brothers’ airplane in 1911 and boats which claimed more than twenty world speed records. The number of speed records he set in his era exceeded those of all other designers combined. Hacker designed three very special boats, each built by Huskins Boat Works in Bay City, Michigan. These three American icons, considered the Triple Crown of the golden age, survive today.

Improving on a masterpiece

POSH (originally christened WeeJoe II) was designed by world-famous naval architect John Hacker.

POSH’s hull shape was derived from lessons Hacker learned designing floats for the Wright Brothers’ airplane in 1911 and designing boats which claimed more than twenty world speed records.

Luxury mega yacht tender POSH

“Many a vintage car, fine watch or classic yacht has been ‘re-invented’ by generations of enthusiasts or entrepreneurs, with degrees of success varying from ‘Right on…’ to ‘Oh, no!’. Certainly there is demand among yachtsmen for pedigreed classics like POSH, not unlike the demand in other circles for the Bugatti Veyron, a Falcon Concept Ten or a multimillion-dollar Patek Philippe 24-function ‘Supercomplication’ wristwatch.”

“There are plenty of ways to miss the target when attempting to re-create a genuine classic. But there is only one way to hit the bullseye.”

“I would not have agreed to be part of this formidable undertaking were it not for the credentials of POSH’s owner Todd Warner and Steve White, president of Brooklin Boat Yard in Brooklin, Maine. These are the marksmen.” Bill Prince -President of Bill Prince Yacht Design, Inc.

Top Rated Tenders For Your Superyacht

Your guide to finding the best yacht tenders for sale..

Yacht tenders are an extension of your yacht; they’re smaller boats used for transportation or excursions. Nowadays, they can be inflatable, big, small, fast, slow, futuristic, or vintage. Tenders may look like a fast center console that’s ideal for fishing trips or an old Hacker-Craft that’s perfect for taking you onshore in style. You can even customize it to match your yacht. It just depends on you and your yacht’s needs. We narrowed down the best tenders for your superyacht so that you can zip around remote locations in comfort and style.

42 Pirelli 2020

The Pirelli Pzero 1250 was designed to ensure a comfortable and smooth ride. The wide bow sunbathing area offers comfort and safety for those who crave a tan, while the cockpit is equipped according to your customizations.

You can select an options package, color combination, and diesel/gasoline inboard or outboard engine packages, which is ideal for matching the boat to your superyacht. Each Pzero is custom-built for the individual and can typically be delivered in 60-90 days from the time of order.

Contact Denison yacht broker Alex Clarke to receive a quote for the exact specification Pirelli Pzero 1250 that you want.

39 Bertram Center Console 2022

The Bertram 39 Center Console is what people in sports might call a utility player — it can play several positions competently. This boat can be used for fishing trips, as a day cruiser, as a yacht tender, or all of the above. And because it’s a new boat, you can add options such as extra live wells or a summer kitchen and barbeque.

As the first model of Bertram’s new center console line, the 39 CC provides superior performance when venturing offshore. Oh, and because she’s new, she comes with a 3-year warranty. Here’s more on everything you need to know about the 39CC. 

Contact Denison’s new boat sales manager Eric Macklin to schedule a showing of this yacht tender for sale.

36 Stephens Brothers 1946

This vintage 36 foot Stephens Brothers 1946 might be too cool for you. She was built as a passenger-carrying day boat and reportedly owned at various times by actors such as Wes Parker and James Dean (told ya she’s too cool). The decks are made with South American mahogany and the cockpit soles are teak. This vintage masterpiece is powered by a Cummins Diesel Engine, QSM 11 offering up 660 horsepower and a head-turning ride from your yacht.

Contact Denison yacht broker Alex Clarke to schedule a showing of this yacht tender for sale.

33 Boston Whaler 2018

Center consoles are kind of like the SUVs of the boating world — they offer a well-rounded set of features, amenities, and capabilities. And just like an SUV, they’re perfect for getting you places quickly and efficiently. This 330 Outrage is a premium outboard saltwater vessel that’s in great condition. It’s perfect for fishing trips or snorkeling excursions from your yacht.

Contact Denison yacht broker Will Noftsinger to schedule a showing of this yacht tender for sale.

30 Hacker-Craft 1929 

Turn up the cool retro vibes with this 30 Hacker-Craft 1929 (*blinks eyes* yes, 1929). A little story about this gem: she was purchased new in 1929 by a Manhattan Episcopalian bishop at the New York City Boat Show. She remained on Lake George, New York until 1989 when she was purchased by a renowned wooden boat aficionado, Mark Mason of Lake Winnipesaukee.

This boat was then purchased by Alan Jackson and, at 74 years old, went through a 3-year professional restoration. She’s now one of the nicest 30-foot Hackers in the world (if we do say so ourselves) and a perfect yacht tender for those New England summers .

28 Axopar 2017

The 28 Axopar 2017 is the perfect yacht tender to accommodate a big group of people. Plenty of comfortable seating on the bow lets you face each other and cheers to the sunset while there are 6 seats at the stern for those stragglers who hopped on last.

The 300 horsepower Verado with Mercury Gold has a transferable warranty with only 225 hours. Other features include underwater lights, new upholstery, an enclosed head and sink, and a removable Bimini top. This is the only Axopar Open available in the US and it’s perfect for boaters with bridge height restrictions.

Contact Denison yacht broker Aaron Antonson to schedule a showing of this yacht tender for sale.

23 De Antonio Yachts 2013

Your superyacht may turn heads, but this yacht tender is a conversation starter. This 23 foot De Antonio Yachts 2013 offers the convenience and performance of outboard power while retaining modern European lines and concealing the 200 horsepower Evinrude G2 under the aft sun pad.

It’s fitted with underwater lights, a loud sound system, and a custom fiberglass hardtop with sunroofs. When you pull up to the sandbar or dinner in this boat, someone’s going to ask where can I get one too? Too bad it’s the only D23 available on the East Coast.

Contact Denison yacht broker Drew Offerdahl to schedule a showing of this yacht tender for sale.

18 D-Boat 2021

This small but mighty 18 foot D-Boat 2021 is a great yacht tender or day cruiser. It’s part of the new Diamond 550 series and built-in one of the most prestigious shipyards in Poland. This yacht tender offers an incredibly smooth ride and can be equipped with 115 horsepower or 200 horsepower Mercury outboard engines. Color schemes and options can be customized to match your yacht. There’s also a small cabin and a manual top for shade, plus a refrigerator to keep the drinks cold.

Contact Denison yacht broker Jake Garber to schedule a showing of this yacht tender for sale.

Luxury yacht tenders provide transport for yacht owners and crew. They’re an excellent addition to a superyacht so that you can see more of a destination and participate in fun excursions. Whether you’re looking for something futuristic, vintage, fast, or spacious, contact a Denison yacht broker to help you find your next yacht tender.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

Brooklin Boat Yard

Steve White and his crew at Brooklin Boat Yard have built some of the finest wooden yachts the world has seen over the past fifty years, ranging from simple, elegant daysailers to 90-foot cruising yachts of the finest caliber. Founded in Maine in 1960, BBY was selected in 2003 to restore the 84-foot commuter yacht Aphrodite built in 1937, experience which will pour like water right into the building of each new POSH.

Todd’s two feet are anchored in the storied history of classic wooden powerboats. He helps ensure that detailed design elements on the new POSH have a strong authentic thread as they deliver this special boat to their twenty-first century clientele. Todd sees this unique project as a new way to preserve the past for the next generation, building upon Hacker’s vision using today’s technology.

History of POSH

John Ludwig Hacker is widely considered to be the greatest American powerboat designer of the 20th century. The hull shapes he developed were derived from lessons he learned designing floats for the Wright Brothers’ airplane in 1911 and boats which claimed more than twenty world speed records. The number of speed records he set in his era exceeded those of all other designers combined. Hacker designed three very special boats, each built by Huskins Boat Works in Bay City, Michigan. These three American icons, considered the Triple Crown of the golden age, survive today.

Improving on a masterpiece

POSH (originally christened WeeJoe II) was designed by world-famous naval architect John Hacker.

POSH’s hull shape was derived from lessons Hacker learned designing floats for the Wright Brothers’ airplane in 1911 and designing boats which claimed more than twenty world speed records.

Luxury mega yacht tender POSH

“Many a vintage car, fine watch or classic yacht has been ‘re-invented’ by generations of enthusiasts or entrepreneurs, with degrees of success varying from ‘Right on…’ to ‘Oh, no!’. Certainly there is demand among yachtsmen for pedigreed classics like POSH, not unlike the demand in other circles for the Bugatti Veyron, a Falcon Concept Ten or a multimillion-dollar Patek Philippe 24-function ‘Supercomplication’ wristwatch.”

“There are plenty of ways to miss the target when attempting to re-create a genuine classic. But there is only one way to hit the bullseye.”

“I would not have agreed to be part of this formidable undertaking were it not for the credentials of POSH’s owner Todd Warner and Steve White, president of Brooklin Boat Yard in Brooklin, Maine. These are the marksmen.” Bill Prince -President of Bill Prince Yacht Design, Inc.
