The largest yachts in the charter marketplace are getting larger. In particularly, finding adequate dockage is difficult. Many marinas cannot host 70+ meter long vessels. Large yachts anchor at sea. In addition, they use tenders to shuttle guests to the shore.
Tenders quickly transport passengers. Accordingly, guests DO get wet from the mist of the ocean. At other times, errant waves create dampness. Taking a tender to a black-tie event at the Cannes Film Festival is not elegant!
For this reason, the next generation of superyacht tenders remedies the problem. Namely, fully-enclosed water limousines.
Hodgdon Yachts is the latest builder of enclosed tenders. They are known for sailing yachts built in cold-molded wood. For instance, Antonisa (1999), Scheherazade (2003), and Windcrest (2006). The company consequently offers a line of luxury tenders created by Michael Peters Yacht Design.
There are 3 models of limo tenders available to list. Namely, a 10.11 meter Sport Tender, a 9.15 meter Center Console Tender, and finally, a 10.50 meter model. All details are customised, for example, hull, deck colors, wood trims, materials, and deck treatment.
The first Limo Tender by Hodgdon is on Steven Spielberg’s Oceanco superyacht, Seven Seas.
Book December 2011 HERE now. Reservations are being accepted for year-end Caribbean holidays. At any rate, dockage for large yachts is minimal. Therefore, advance bookings are strongly encouraged.
