The Right Tender Makes All the Difference

A yacht tender serves as an extension of your yacht, enhancing convenience, luxury, and adventure. Whether you choose a stylish superyacht tender for smooth guest transfers or a high-performance SportJet tender for thrilling watersports, the right tender can elevate your overall yachting experience. But here’s the question: is one tender enough? Or does your lifestyle demand more? Let’s explore why having multiple tenders could be the key to indulging in the full luxury and convenience of your yacht.

1. Different Tenders for Different Purposes

• Adventure & Watersports
  For those who crave excitement, a leisure craft (such as our SportJet tender) is a must. Designed for high-performance activities like wakeboarding, diving, and shallow-water exploration, it brings an extra thrill to your yacht.
• Luxury vs. Utility
  A Limousine tender ensures guests enjoy refined, enclosed comfort while traveling between the yacht and shore. Meanwhile, a Utility tender – takes care of logistics—cargo, maintenance, and provisions—ensuring the yacht remains fully stocked and running smoothly.
• SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea)
  If your yacht exceeds 500GT, international regulations require you to have a SOLAS-certified tender onboard. These are designed for emergency situations, with fire-resistant materials, self-righting capabilities, and enhanced buoyancy—providing an essential layer of safety.

2. Matching the Right Tender to the Right Environment

• Shallow vs. Deep Waters
  Not all waters are the same, and neither are tenders. SportJet tenders or midsized yacht tenders are ideal for exploring shallow bays, while luxury Diesel tenders and our EvoJet tenders with it’s deep V hull can venture further out into deeper waters and cruise for long-distances.
• Long-Distance Transfers vs. Short-Haul Trips
  For quick guest transfers, a small jet tender is efficient and easy to manoeuvre. However, for longer trips, a luxury Diesel or Limousine tender ensures a smooth, comfortable and dry ride.
• Destination-Specific Considerations
  If your itinerary includes remote destinations, your tender must be equipped to handle extra fuel, provisions, and storage. A utility tender is a reliable workhorse, while a SOLAS-certified tender also ensures compliance and safety in emergency conditions.

3. Enhancing Onboard Efficiency & Experience

• Minimising Waiting Time
  With a large group onboard, a single tender can slow things down. Having multiple tenders—one for guest transport and another for crew logistics—keeps everything running smoothly and prevents delays.
• Safety & Emergency Backup
  A secondary tender isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. If your main tender encounters mechanical issues, a backup ensures that operations continue seamlessly. Additionally, a SOLAS tender provides peace of mind, offering a secure option in case of emergencies.
