Itt's fast, but it's not fast enough to make up for 2-3 trips back and forth to pick up guests.

We have a Castoldi 17ft on our yacht, and I sincerely believe it is the best designed tender I've come across, even compared to Castoldi's larger ones. It can hold the same amount of people, in the same comfort and can get to 35kts, only a few kts slower than the Yachtwerft Meyer.

Azureazimut your yacht is the 116 foot Azimut right?..the first flag blue hull one right? Sorry, I just briefly remember you from a while back but since I haven't seen you post in a while I couldn't remember.

Azure, maybe you might be a bit biased on your Castoldi but the tenders of Yachtweft Meyer are nice, I do not think you can deny that. As well as what has been resonated by K1W1, it is all up to what the owner wants. So I agree that you shouldn't bash the circumstances of the tender.

What if someone said you Castoldi was too small for your sized yacht, that is what you wanted, you wouldn't mind what other people are saying...right Azure?

The main tenders for the Feadship Predator are called the Predator A and Predator B if I am seeing correctly on the Yachtwerft website. Both tenders have reverse bows like the mother ship and carry flag blue hulls.

Predator A is the more open type tender with center console and ample seating for guests. Predator A was fashioned from the epoxy vaccum process using composite materials and she has teak flooring throughout. Her two Steyr's can propel her to 42 knots. She can carry 8 passengers as well as 2 crew.

Predator B is the more stylish of the two being veneered with teak and mahogany wood finishes for the floor and bow respectively. Predator B also boasts a retractable electric windscreen. Being 8.80M long like her sister, she is a sizable tender capable of carrying 8 guests and 2 crew members. A Steyr engine of 256 HP can rocket her to 40 knots.

This Venezian style boat passed my house today, Italian flagged. I don´t know if there is a big yacht around or if somebody has imported this boat. First one I see in this area anyway.

Quite a few new tenders that Pascoe International have made.

Pascoe have done a 6.20M Shuttle tender for the brandnew Mondango.

A also has some done by them, including the new SY10 Open

The fourth unit in the 37M series for Sunseeker, has her new 5.8M tender

A pair for a Benetti 59M called Miamena

I wonder if it belongs to Triple Seven as it appears to be T/T 777 on

port quarter but maybe my eyesight isn't what it once was.

I enlarged the number which is a Venice reg nr. The yellow stickers are also typical for a Venetian Taxi. It is far from home..!

12th sense is the company that brought you limo-styled tenders for yachts such as Kogo, Lady Mariana and more recently the Alfa Nero. However, they have built upon the experience gathered from those platforms.

Since then, they have been working on a new concept limo-tender in the 9.00-meter range. Word is that construction started and that the first should be delivered in the second half of this year!

Hi Dockboy93!

Thanks for sharing the link.
I really like the open tender.

[YachtNews]

Wow, thanks for the link. The two main tenders for her are indeed amazing. The Limo is different but looks good with a modern/retro flair.
