    Looks like Falcon Tenders got a custom order for two custom tenders which are for two separate owners. Usually...tenders are ordered by some customers in two's with a Limo and a sport/open tender as ordered. It is not clear which tender was chosen by the clients. The last custom tender the company made is called "Miss Wonderly" is still available for sale seen below.

    I'm generally not a fan of the "limo" tender style... but c'mon, are they in a race to the bottom as far as style goes now?

    Lurssen 160-meter "BLUE" has two 12.5-meter Compass tenders. They can seat up to 14 guests and reach a top speed of 45-knots thanks to twin 440 horse power Volvo engines. As you can see they mirror the styling of the mothership quite nicely.

    I'm not sure if the chase boat of a 100' Wally yacht fits the "megayacht tenders" topic.
    But I found this 52' RIB, built as if it were meant for SAR service, quite remarkable.
    I mean, how often do you see a boat with wipers also on the side windows...?!? o_O

    BTW, the reason why they came to my marina is even more remarkable: they should have followed the mother ship in a transfer from Balearics to N Sardinia, but due to a strong mistral they couldn't keep up with the intended route, and had to divert to S Sardinia instead, while the mother ship went straight to her destination.
    Puts any debate on seaworthiness of motor boats in perspective, I reckon...

    PS to admin: sorry for the need to resize ex-post, I forgot the size rule!

    Falcon Tenders at it again with a new offering, an 8-meter all-electric open guest tender. Top speed should be around 30-knots allowing for transfers from Monaco to Nice in 25 min and 25-knots.

    Hodgdon currently working on three 12.5-meter tenders that will be home on a large superyacht currently under construction at a Northern European yard. The three 12.5-meter tenders are in the type of limo, open and beachlander. The yacht is supposed to be delivered in 2025. Any guesses?

    Project Alibaba?
    Project Jassj?

    Here is the press release verbatim from the tender yard.

    Hodgdon Tenders, the Superyacht tender division of Hodgdon Yachts, announced today that they have signed contracts with a repeat client for three 40-foot tenders, which will deliver in 2025 to a new build project currently underway in Northern Europe. Design and Naval Architecture of the Limousine, Open, and Beachlander Sport tenders is by Michael Peters Yacht Design and engineering is by Hodgdon Tenders’ in-house team. All three tenders will have custom features, stainless steel detailing, and underwater lights to complement their mothership.

    The Limousine tender will include luxury interior accommodations for 15 guests, climate control, leather upholstery, integrated champagne storage, and a glass roof. Highlights of the Open tender will include a spacious cockpit which lends itself to a variety of guest activities, large aft sunpad, and generous storage areas. Ideal for watersports and fishing, the Beachlander Sport tender will have a forward hydraulic bow ramp, folding composite t-top, and day head.






    Below is a 10.8-meter Beachlander that was recently delivered to another yacht so perhaps this design scaled up to 12.5-meters.

    They introduced a glass-bottomed tender and then disappeared.
    I don't know what yacht it was made for

    Falcon Tenders is collaborating with a new designer on a new range of tenders. Sturge&Toth are working with the tender manufacturer and the first unit will be a 10-meter electric one. The tender range is called Gladius and melds the "heritage of Venetian gentlemen‘s tenders with the modern attributes of luxury superyacht tenders".
