With a reputation of combining technical precision with craftsmanship, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3619" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachtwerft Meyer Gmbh (Company)">Yachtwerft Meyer</a>’s newest Impetus Tender is no exception. Stylistically, the Impetus series draws inspiration from sports cars and speedboats, paired with the clean lines of Nordic design. Martin Jünemann, Head of Design at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3619" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachtwerft Meyer Gmbh (Company)">Yachtwerft Meyer</a>, describes this approach as “the perfect balance of aggressive, sporty lines while maintaining thoughtful simplicity, elegance and a little understatement.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/375525/image/large-ec66d01316bfa5cb7d88e31132bb66af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/375525">A heritage of craftsmanship<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3619" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachtwerft Meyer Gmbh (Company)">Yachtwerft Meyer</a>, located on the River Lesum in Bremen, Germany, has been around since the 1980s, when it began as a facility offering winter storage and minor repair services. Its first superyacht tender, a 4.5-metre clinker-built sailing dinghy, marked the beginning of a more specialised focus. In 1994, the company made a decisive shift towards the construction of high-performance tenders and fast-response vessels, including projects for the German Navy. This transition laid the foundation for the shipyard as it is recognised today.Building on that legacy, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3619" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Yachtwerft Meyer Gmbh (Company)">Yachtwerft Meyer</a> Impetus series introduces a contemporary, semi-custom approach to superyacht tenders. Available in both open and limousine configurations, the range spans from 10 to 12-metres and is engineered for comfort, performance and personalisation. The first version built, an open version measuring 11.5-metres with a beam of 3.2-metres, is particularly well suited to owners seeking an immersive, open-air experience on the water.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/375523/image/large-b9402bb3f79b44e7beb61fff74282bda.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/375523">Design philosophy and influencesConstructed using epoxy-infused composite sandwich materials, the Impetus tender is both robust and lightweight. With capacity for 12 guests and two crew, it is designed for smooth guest transfer as well as recreational use. Powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1450" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo (Company)">Volvo</a> D4-320 engines with Aquamatic Duo Prop drives, the tender achieves speeds in excess of 30 knots when fully loaded. For enhanced performance, the Impetus can also be equipped with larger engines such as the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1450" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo (Company)">Volvo</a> D6-440, offering top speeds exceeding 45 knots.“As a shipyard with extensive expertise in semi-custom lines and sophisticated moulding techniques, our vision was to craft a design that is adaptable for both open and limousine variants,” Martin Jünemann explains. “From the outset, we aimed to create a design that looks as if it was purpose-built for each specific application, offering owners flexibility in layout while maintaining a cohesive, elegant appearance.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/375524/image/large-4c3ab6c15811e82f62e78563c6a35c5a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/375524">Crafted for luxury and practicality“Basically, it is not a balance of functionality and luxury. Luxury is the function of this tender. Customer wishes are our driving force,” says Jünemann. “Whether it is sumptuously upholstered cushions, a spacious day head, stylish ambient lighting, a powerful sound system or Starlink for internet at sea, each element is designed to enhance comfort and convenience.”The layout is designed with practicality and enjoyment in mind. Boarding is facilitated by removable cushions on the aft platform and optional retractable side steps. At the bow, deep, comfortable seating provides space to relax, with the option to add a retractable awning for shade. The area behind the ergonomic helm can be configured as sunpads or used to stow water toys. An electric swim platform at the stern offers convenient access to the sea.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/375520/image/large-54caed8bec7dfa1eb022206998bdba79.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/375520">A range of optional features further enhances the tender’s versatility. These include a compact bar with a refrigerator, a day head and a carbon stand-up shower. For owners interested in fishing or cruising at night, a carbon rocket launcher or underwater lighting can also be used.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/375526/image/large-5c6731759e9fe616e382c8d630932f9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/375526">Looking to the futureAs a semi-custom series, the Impetus allows for shorter build times without compromising personalisation. Deck and interior layouts can be adapted to suit each owner’s desires, with choices in colour schemes, logos and upholstery to match the design of the mothership.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/375531/image/large-a5c05098d89d12deee781db02b3b865c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/375531">According to Jünemann, “With the open and limousine versions spanning from 10- to 12-metres, we already offer a versatile range that caters to a wide variety of preferences and needs. The strong interest in the series provides potential to explore further developments. For example, we might introduce a smaller beach lander model or even a catamaran version. At the end of the day, the customer’s wish is our order.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/375529/image/large-01509a25bfcf348e51945ec96f3482ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/375529">Certified to CE Category B, the Impetus combines technical precision with design flexibility, making it a personalised, refined and practical addition to any superyacht fleet.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/375522/image/large-8541514421e32ac4bd62682daf0334d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/375522">

Vandal Marine has revealed its latest and largest model to date, the 19.7-metre Vandal 60 Chase. Developed in collaboration with British studio RWD, the foil-assisted yacht is a response to increasing demand for high-performance, long-range chase boats within the superyacht sector.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363943/image/large-6ae1df2edfb3bc25a6407e73f7b8bb37.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363943">The first hull has already been delivered as a chase boat to an 80-metre-plus Feadship superyacht, marking a major milestone for the brand and its growing presence in the large tender and support vessel market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363941/image/large-6b4532402190d03b5a23dbfb80a9ef85.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363941">The captain of the first unit in operation praised the design’s functionality: “We’ve found it to be a perfect addition to the fleet, ideal as a long-distance large tender for a mixture of uses, transporting equipment, a floating watersports base and entertaining platform. The rigid foil design provides a noticeable difference in ride comfort and fuel economy.”Building on the success of the 46 Explorer and 50 Explorer models, the Vandal 60 blends Vandal Marine’s established performance and reliability with a new level of comfort and sophistication tailored to the needs of discerning owners and crew.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363938/image/large-32fe8529b880d4b3735062ed54236ce6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363938">“This new model is intended to provide a highly capable chase boat for superyachts taking guests and crew further and faster in comfort, opening up opportunities to explore areas previously beyond reach,” commented Ben Mennem, Founder of Vandal Marine.Ollie Stacey, Head of Yacht Design at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/61" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="RWD (Company)">RWD</a>, added: “The Vandal 60 is the result of a truly collaborative process with the Vandal team. It builds on the brand’s distinctive DNA while allowing us to apply RWD’s design discipline and spatial thinking. The outcome is a robust, confident vessel, versatile in function and refined in execution.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363940/image/large-32e46e5231756cdce8e6fe4b139c2a9a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363940">Developed from the outset as a dedicated chase boat, the Vandal 60 features a semi-enclosed pilothouse, a spacious open aft deck, a flybridge with tender storage and crane and accommodation for up to six guests across three staterooms.The vessel is offered with either inboard propulsion (<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1450" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo (Company)">Volvo</a> IPS or <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5769" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hamilton Jet (Company)">Hamilton Jets</a>) or outboard engines (quad <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5750" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mercury Marine (Company)">Mercury</a> V12 600 horsepower), with a top speed of 40 knots and a cruising range of 700 nautical miles at 30 knots.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363939/image/large-9b3c7a585d8d5f9b8d9271e62bde54f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363939">Sustainability and seakeeping are at the core of the Vandal 60’s engineering. Constructed from high-strength alloys, the catamaran is built to handle demanding marine environments. A foil integrated between the hulls carries 40 percent of the vessel’s weight, significantly reducing drag and improving stability, fuel efficiency and ride comfort. This foil-assisted configuration enables better high-speed performance and enhanced seakeeping by reducing spray and slamming.The pilothouse features wraparound windows for enhanced visibility and includes a galley, dining area and helm station. It is fully air-conditioned and can be closed off for protection in harsher weather. Forward access leads to the foredeck and an optional bow ramp, facilitating direct beach or water access.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363942/image/large-573d10a02e84dbb753d046118e909ea7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363942">Below deck, there are two independent companionways leading to the accommodation spaces on either side, which can be customised to suit the operational role of the boat for guests comfort, crew transit or expedition support.On deck, modular furniture systems and deck tracks allow for flexible layouts to suit different missions, whether for sunbathing, entertaining, watersports staging, or gear transport.
