Expedition superyacht Enigma XK in Cape Town

A colourful tale follows the history of the luxury expedition yacht that we know today as Enigma XK. This former patrol vessel was built in 1988 and served as Norna in the British navy’s fisheries division operating in the stormy waters of the North Sea. Once sold to her new owner, McFarlane Ship Design was drafted to enhance the vessel’s exterior by clearing all exterior decks, fitting a large helicopter landing pad, and work around the sloping nature of the existing structure’s decks, and low headroom as a result. Philippe Briand of Vitruvius Yachts completely redesigned Enigma XK’s interior to suit the vessel’s functional nature, finished with a touch of luxury. All refit works were carried out by Atlantic Refit Centre in France which lasted 26 months. The yacht works together with EYOS Expeditions to offer the most of every trip for her charter guests.

Expedition superyacht Enigma XK in Cape Town

EYOS Tenders have just delivered their latest project managed boat to a delighted owner. The Maori 52 Collider is the first of a new line from Maori Future Concept, which has been styled by Ken Freivokh Design renowned for their innovative work. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/140499/image/large-babd37214a35c373433267c5a1d08aab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/140499"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/140500/image/large-4794b767eb270bc400606f52cd2a2c34.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/140500">The 52ft futuristic design features an axe bow, striking lines and is powered by 2 x FTP 510hp engines driven by Jolly Surface Drives. The boat was launched in mid July for sea trials in Cala di Volpe in Sardinia and performed well in accordance to all the expected parameters EYOS Tenders were contracted to oversee the quality and build of the yacht including continual assessment and internal survey work as well as giving independent advice on technical features. They ensured that the boat was built within the very tight time schedule whilst ensuring the quality of the construction and attention to detail. EYOS are delighted that the boat was completed and delivered on time, and is proving to be a real head turner. Both John Apps and Nigel Upton who co-managed the project, are delighted with the results. “The team at Maori have done an excellent job in delivering the boat on time and to such a high standard” said Nigel, “we would like to thank them for all of their efforts, it is a very beautiful boat”.

EYOS Tenders delivers Maori 52 Collider

Windy Scandinavia AB in Västervik, Sweden will start production on an 8 metre Superyacht tender based upon a design brief from EYOS Tenders. The boat, styled by Eidsgaard Design, will be the first major tender designed from day one to meet the needs of the superyacht market. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/139663/image/large-f30927a06428eb2041490f8e5e94e2aa.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/139663">The tender, with a single diesel engine and outdrive leg, has been designed to maximize the yacht’s garage space by having a folding console to keep it below 1.5m in height whilst still maintaining a high freeboard to ensure a dry ride. Many optional extras are included in the base price, such as a forward spray hood, onboard shower, hose points in the forward locker for washing down the boat, underwater LED lights at the transom and lollipop boarding poles. An adaptable seating arrangement can carry up to 12 passengers in a neat bench format or carry 9 passengers in more comfort, all within a competitive price structure. Both companies said that they will be working on a Jet model and further size options in the near future. John Apps, MD of EYOS Tenders said " We are very excited to be able to work with such a reputable firm as Windy on this Superyacht Tender project. We have been hugely impressed with their desire to build a top quality boat and together we can produce an extraordinary tender." Trevor Fenlon, Head of Production at Windy’s Vastervik factory said "We worked with EYOS Tenders on two of our SR52 boats and were impressed by their knowledge and understanding of the yacht tender market. We are very happy to enter into this project with them" Hull numbers 1-3 are already sold, but hull number 4 is now available.
