Tender Spotlight: The latest superyacht tender innovations

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4716" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoe International (Company)">Pascoe International</a> has signed a contract for the sale of the first fully electric limousine tender. The team has confirmed that she is under construction and will be delivered in 2023 to a large new-build superyacht from a leading Northern European shipyard. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215345/image/large-779fd6980782d66d44a14cf2caa96597.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215345">The Pascoe e-Limousine is based on the company’s award-winning SL platform which uses the brand’s latest oil-cooled electric motors. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4716" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoe International (Company)">Pascoe International</a> has teamed with an array of experts in marine propulsion to develop, what they say is, the “most efficient transfer of power from the motor to the water”. Alongside this, the new drive system will remove the noise and vibration expected from the more traditional stern-drive. In short, the Pascoe e-Limousine makes a promise of being eco-friendly and comfortable without any compromise to performance capabilities. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215346/image/large-eee9e16c0ea54115fe1f7ba2ba3109dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215346">“The realisation of a zero-emission at point of use Limousine Tender with a top speed of 40 knots and a maximum range of 60 miles will be a defining moment for the superyacht industry,” Tom Southern, Vice President at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4716" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoe International (Company)">Pascoe International</a> commented. “The e-Limousine truly signifies the beginning of a new wave of luxury water-borne travel and a move away from internal combustion propulsion systems in the superyacht sector.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4716" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoe International (Company)"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/215347/image/large-ba5851fbeb9de213e811e9cd0572b528.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/215347">Pascoe International</a> has also announced that, following its six-year research and development period, it will now offer full electric propulsions for its line of limousines and open guest tenders. Those opting for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4716" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoe International (Company)">Pascoe International</a> will benefit from long-term cost savings, as they’ll be able to charge their tenders directly from their yacht’s power generators without the need to use fossil fuels, such as diesel. Moreover, they’ll have the added benefit of reduced vibrations, reduced noise and a very potent increase in torque. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/18962/image/large-b13f4bd6da2bd83f5c9976dfde326971.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/18962">The UK-based design firm has delivered over 250 projects since its conception in 2004.

Although Southampton-based <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6359" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Falcon Tenders (Company)">Falcon Tenders</a> is a new name in the superyacht sector, it has a heritage that draws on founder Mark Pascoe’s 20-plus years of experience building full-custom tenders.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/210327/image/large-0ba67f82be25ebfa56aed750e6fcdb47.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/210327">Mark Pascoe started out producing high-performance sports RIBs, but his new company takes its name from his involvement in the building of two custom tenders for the ground-breaking sailing yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maltese Falcon88.0m (288'9&quot;)Perini Navi2006">Maltese Falcon&nbsp;</a>in 2005.

Stoneman brings with him practical experience as well as an eye for quality and detail having produced a series of high-speed XSR48 powerboats for a select group of European customers. &nbsp;“There are a lot of similarities between the superyacht and powerboat racing worlds,” says Pascoe. “In a way, it’s all about the spectacle; everything has to be immaculate and work perfectly, and the boats have to be fit for purpose. In the case of tenders we’re not just looking at top speed and seakeeping, of course, but also extremely good low-speed handling and manoeuvrability.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/210328/image/large-12bf645d6d17d6030c4a5a64d0e3c97a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/210328">To meet the growing demand for bespoke tenders, from the outset Pascoe decided to collaborate with some of the top names in superyacht design, including <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tim Heywood Design Ltd. (Company)">Tim Heywood</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6301" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Uros Pavasovic Studio (Company)">Uros Pavasovic</a>, David Weiss of Designova and naval architect <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5717" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Patrick Banfield (Company)">Patrick Banfield</a>.

(Company)">Michael Leach Design</a> that was built on spec and made her debut at the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/210329/image/large-a27fef794801ade8b2d4acee84ee9485.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/210329">“Despite my solid reputation in the industry, we felt that for a client to take a new brand operation seriously and be prepared to invest in a deposit we had to show them the kind of high-quality product we can build,” says Pascoe. “So that’s why we decided to self-finance this first project and we plan to start building an open version of the limo tender based on the same hull form.”The hull and deck of the limousine tender utilises lightweight, foam sandwich construction with sustainable plant-based epoxy composites for a stiff structure. Faired and painted in high gloss Black Blue and Signal White to superyacht standards, all the components are of the highest quality with attention to serviceability and longevity. All the wood veneers and leather products used for the interior are also sustainably sourced. Propulsion is provided by a hybrid electric system comprising twin Hyundai Seasall S30 270hp V6 diesel engines and two Huracan Marine 20KW e-motors fitted with automatic clutch coupled to two Femak 20Kw Lithium-Ion batteries that can provide up to an hour of silent, zero-emission running at low speed.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/210333/image/large-6f18678af0c039031751fad365453610.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/210333">“The basic concept is that we have electric drive up to a speed of 8-9 knots,” explains Pascoe. “As you increase the throttle, the system automatically fires up the diesel engines and the electric motors become generators for charging the batteries. Then when you come off the plane, it drops back into electric drive and you seamlessly arrive at the yacht or the marina. It really gives you the best of both worlds.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6359" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Falcon Tenders (Company)">Falcon Tenders</a> has developed a portfolio of tender designs that can be hand-built to order in limited numbers, but it sees itself primarily as a full-custom builder serving the specific requirements of individual owners. Certainly, given Mark Pascoe’s reputation and close contacts with captains, designers and shipyards, the company has the experience, resources and know-how to bring any one-off tender project to life.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/210331/image/large-2893a3262f6efc06687bd767863d14b0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/210331">“One of our biggest assets is that we have a small, dedicated and passionate team rather than a large workforce geared up for mass production,” affirms Pascoe. “I think we have the skillset and appetite to bring something new and pretty special to the market.” &nbsp;

Tender spotlight: Pascoe International’s 12m tender series

As the share of very large superyachts within the global fleet has increased in the last decade, the demand for tenders has followed suit. Here, we speak to experts from across the industry to get the inside scoop on what the owners of today (and tomorrow) are looking for from their tenders. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/176919/image/large-ae3e8010b9a42ef595a7da8d56907769.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/176919">Firstly, it is obvious that, as with many things in the superyacht industry, size matters. Tom Southern from the Southampton-based company <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4716" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoe International (Company)">Pascoe International</a>, explains that the company has noted a marked increase in requests for 10-metre-plus tenders to accommodate the operational needs of the mothership. This trend continues across the pond with Audrey Hodgdon, Director of Sales &amp; Marketing at the Maine-based <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/670" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hodgdon Yachts (Company)">Hodgdon Tenders</a> commenting that “as superyachts increase in size, the tenders are relied upon more and more as yachts are likely to be anchored further out.”Notably too, involvement of owners in the tender-choosing process has also seen an uplift, to beneficial effect on the final product. As Tom Southern from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4716" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoe International (Company)">Pascoe</a> highlights: “This rise in the level of owner input on the selection and design of tenders is a major positive for the quality of the final product, allowing us to ask the owner directly how they want to use each tender and what they’d like to see done differently from previous ones.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/176917/image/large-93b0acf54dc95714a47f97e62c7034a8.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/176917">And what, exactly, is the average owner looking for from their tender? Well, of course, there is no such thing as an average superyacht owner, but our experts have observed some commonalities. Good aesthetics and complementing the mothership in appearance are key.A popular combination of tenders for today’s owners noted by Richard Faulkner, Founder and CEO of Hamble-based company <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4767" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Compass Tenders Ltd (Company)">Compass Tenders</a>, is for owners to opt for both a stylish limousine tender to transport guests to and from the mothership, and a more practical, open, utility-style tender to serve as a base for watersports and beach activities. In addition, a dedicated crew tender can also be accommodated for where space allows, so that guest tenders are reserved for the owner’s use. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/21662/image/large-7b9853502fc61f93f304ce952a0be3e0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/21662">In addition, with the often-noted trend of 2020’s owners becoming increasingly adventurous with how they use their yachts – seeking out locations further afield – the tenders have adapted to match. As Faulkner highlights: “Tenders are being used for extended periods of time and are required for a wider array of uses – it’s no longer just about getting from superyacht to shore in comfort, but exploring stretches of coastline and facilitating sports activities.”In today’s market therefore, where versatility in tender usage is key, an owner can reap the benefits of a ‘jack-of-all-trades’ tender, which has the ability to take owners and guests from A to B, as well as packing storage for toys, provisions, dive gear and so on. “This modularity is a key feature as having multiple tenders requires a substantial amount of space,” Rene Markus from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5670" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DutchCraft (Company)">DutchCraft</a> explains. “Our tenders can easily be transformed from guest shuttles into spacious tenders designed for provisioning.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/176916/image/large-a832018b8f021704fe06671f453e6c55.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/176916">Onboard space is, naturally, a key consideration for any owner looking to add tenders to their arsenals, and should be taken into account as early as possible in the design stage of the vessel. As Hodgdon recalls, "One captain recently told us that the decision on the tender is just as important to the owner as which engines go into the superyacht.”Where the tender is stored on board contemporary vessels has seen a shift in recent years, according to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4716" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pascoe International (Company)">Pascoe International</a>’s Tom Southern. “The typical location for tender garages on large yachts was an aft garage with side doors, however as the design trend has moved towards expansive beach clubs with fold-out balconies, we are now seeing more tender garages moving towards the bow in order to accommodate full beam beach clubs.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/192145/image/large-b1bc3b5045de8888ae522ac6ff2eaebc.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/192145">Finally, there is one trend in tenders which would be remiss to omit: the drive towards sustainability. “The tender niche follows the trends in pleasure yachting,” says <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5670" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="DutchCraft (Company)">DutchCraft</a>’s Rene Markus. “Driven by environmental changes, owners are definitely becoming more ecologically-savvy and caring about the environment.”&nbsp;This desire from owners to greenify their tenders will also have implications for the future of their designs, meaning that tender builders need to keep abreast of the latest trends. Richard Faulkner from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4767" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Compass Tenders Ltd (Company)">Compass</a> sees the tenders of the future as “undoubtedly electric powered, which may generate a difference in hull forms to increase medium speed efficiency.” He continues, “Solar panels may also be required to be incorporated within the tender design and our design team is currently researching and developing this area.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/111502/image/large-3296259bfecb9ee45367a02adde348a5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/111502">This article was originally published in the&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/51983" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Tenders and toys edition of The SuperYacht Times newspaper out now (2020-11-03 14:00:00 +0100)">Tenders and Toys&nbsp;issue of The SuperYacht Times newspaper</a>.&nbsp;To receive all future issues straight to your door, <a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/" target="_blank">subscribe to the newspaper here</a>.

The colour of the hull and the detailing of the exterior in general, as well as the exterior furniture, is rich with detail and this connects the exterior with the interior,”&nbsp;Horsfield explains.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/74765/image/large-4e2aa718b313a5f93ee692e1a830774c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/74765">With her bold design and beautifully crafted interior, there is no doubt that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5999" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go77.0m (252'7&quot;)Turquoise Yachts2018">Go</a> is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Turquoise Yachts (Company)">Turquoise Yachts’</a> new statement piece and, if that striking hull is anything to go by, their future is to be as colourful and joyous as their past.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/74786/image/large-cf1155a1b813f87f3f7232b56b2c818f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/74786">Inside jobHaving started the project on speculation, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/161" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="H2 Yacht Design (Company)">H2’s</a> original interior design underwent several style changes after the yacht was acquired mid-build by her owner. “When the new client came aboard, we were challenged to redesign the interior in only 3 months!”&nbsp;recalls Horsfield. “The owner’s brief was to create an interior with richness and glamour whilst keeping a light feel to the interior ambience.”&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/74788/image/large-aa408041bf24c2842a003c21dac83aa2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/74788">All seven guest staterooms are located on the main deck, leaving the entire lower deck to the crew. These consist of two VIP suites, three double and two twin cabins, each with its own marble-rich ensuite and Alex Turco art piece in the shower. The same edge-lit floating panels found in the main saloon are continued in the cabins and make for a sensual atmosphere when the mood lighting takes over as the sun goes down.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/74789/image/large-5a7b2c9e7a9df6d5a32b7c6312af0092.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/74789">All of these elements perfectly meet in the centre of the yacht where a one-of-a-kind Sea Spray ‘chandelier’ consisting of 468 separate blown ‘icicles’ drops down the central staircase with a mesmerising effect. The Dale Chihuly piece picks up the turquoise accents found around the yacht and radiates it throughout the lobby from the surrounding mirror’s reflection.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/74782/image/large-9b979ec603ad10f3e38b57c16d33a4a1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/74782">There and backUnder the command of Captain Simon Johnson, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5999" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go77.0m (252'7&quot;)Turquoise Yachts2018">Go</a> has enjoyed a non-stop family-friendly itinerary which kicked off immediately after delivery and saw the yacht cruise from Istanbul along the Turkish Riviera and beyond to reach the French Riviera in time for the <a href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2018">Monaco Yacht Show</a>.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/74771/image/large-a447d18f956541d3bfbda7ee588171b6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/74771">Having covered well over 10,000 nm since the delivery day after a successful maiden Caribbean season, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5999" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Go77.0m (252'7&quot;)Turquoise Yachts2018">Go’s</a> owner and crew have by now ironed out any unwanted creases as the yacht prepares for its second Mediterranean season.

Combining the practicalities of an open transom and the stylish, livable areas that only an enclosed stern can offer, this layout makes docking in port a breeze for her crew while offering an added sense of privacy to her guests when enjoying this tranquil area at anchor.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/74770/image/large-364045c7d1108e083205c83cb439fede.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/74770">Covering 162 square metres, a transom door folds flush into the swim platform to reveal a 9-metre-wide sun lounging space that is also ideal for preparing for those fun family watersports days. “It is a triumph for what is only a 77-metre yacht,”&nbsp;adds Horsfield. Two additional shell doors on either side of the hull expand the beach club’s space to the maximum, letting natural sunlight into the lounge, bar, massage room and dive store areas that are also found down here.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/74794/image/large-0037796b5d759c77c079f00d7d13d1de.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/74794">Adding to the serenity of the beach club is the fact that tender operations are moved midships to starboard.

85m motor yacht Valerie on the market

Tasked with ferrying guests and provisions back and forth from superyacht to shore, tenders are an essential component of every single superyacht vacation and yet they are often the overlooked and underrated workhorses of the industry, but that is changing. In this article, the spotlight shines on the custom Open Limousine tender built by Pascoe International on board Abeking &amp; Rasmussen’s recently delivered 74m <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6403" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Elandess74.5m (244'5&quot;)">Elandess</a>.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/52582/image/large-8cf88045749c9ec352c901ee6469481d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/52582">Measuring 10-metres from bow to stern, the Open Limousine tender has been designed to transfer up to 16 guests from ship to shore safely and in style. The team at Pascoe worked in close collaboration with naval architect Patrick Banfield to develop the limousine's engineering platform. The owner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6403" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Elandess74.5m (244'5&quot;)">Elandess</a> wanted a tender with the ability to operate in all weather conditions, including high winds and rain. Should the weather take a turn for the worse, spray canopies can be deployed at a moments notice. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/52581/image/large-44287455a924fd4b0250a33cbebac3af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/52581"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/52583/image/large-b8d9ace28110966455b080da12826d34.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/52583">With an ultra-efficient hull shape in place, the team added customised structural elements such as the driving platform and entrance amidship. Defying convention, the design team placed a ‘horseshoe’ settee forward, additional guest seating is placed aft and a large aft activity platform - which has custom fixing points to accommodate bike racks, Seabob stowage and ice chests. With room for the crew to circulate throughout, the 10-metre tender is comfortable for everyone onboard. Furthermore, the limousine features a top-quality audio system, concealed fridges, deck-lighting and removable stainless steel railings.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/52579/image/large-68bb702d801b7811145dcdccba54eaf3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/52579">State-of-the-art navtronics help guide the tender through any seascape at speeds up to 45 knots at the touch of a screen. Full joystick control enables precision manoeuvrability while operating at low speeds - further reducing the risk of damage while docking. Whether guests are just beginning their superyacht adventure or embarking on a fun-filled day-excursion, the Pascoe limousine tender is fit for the job. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/52584/image/large-f7d718bbc42af068dcb73342ca8265ef.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/52584">Pascoe's flexible tender platform allows clients to order fully customised tenders in the 8 to 11-metre range. Just like the tenders onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6403" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Elandess74.5m (244'5&quot;)">Elandess</a>, each tender can be formatted to compliment the mothership while ensuring the utmost performance and safety. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/52585/image/large-fc12e88249b63644e6f2368acb8d0a9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/52585">The team at Pascoe have supplied two further tenders, one 7.5-metre Beachlander and one 7-metre Solas rescue tender for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6403" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Elandess74.5m (244'5&quot;)">Elandess</a>.

Tender of the Month: Pascoe International’s custom Open Limousine tender

This month we step on board the awesome 9.8-metre DT Beachlander from Pascoe International. The 9.8-metre vessel is the latest model from the British company, Pascoe International, and has been designed to be a true multi-role tender, offering the space and layout to cater perfectly to the requirements of any superyacht.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/25926/image/large-028cbf6af192c2a4d0fac8ed5cb4caf9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/25926"> Currently used as a tender by one of the world's most talked-about and distinctive superyachts - the 106-metre Oceanco sailing yacht, Black Pearl&nbsp;- the 9.8-metre DT Beachlander tender offers everything you could want from a tender and more. With a weight of 4000kg, and a maximum beam of 2.95-metres, the 9.8-metre tender has a total of 520hp and an impressive maximum speed of 45 knots, which is bound to get your pulse racing on the water! Part of the DT range of tenders from Pascoe International, the 9.8-metre tender has been carefully designed to be dry riding and provide excellent sea keeping whilst setting new standards in the level of finish demanded by the world’s finest yachts. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/25929/image/large-48f4d3b9eb3480cb8ddbfba89b3b13e6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/25929"> Seating up to 14 people, the hull features an innovative hydraulic opening bow ramp to enable elegant and safe access to the beach, whilst also offering a flexible deck layout for guest transportation.

Tender of the Month: The multi-role DT Beachlander from Pascoe International 

Everybody knows that tenders are, in many ways, the lifeblood of all superyacht operations. Whether it’s the crew jumping in the tender and zipping around to pick up groceries and supplies, being transported safely from shore to your superyacht, or simply cruising around small coves, bays, and hard to reach secluded destinations, a tender is an essential part of ensuring the best experience of the superyacht life.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/18962/image/large-b13f4bd6da2bd83f5c9976dfde326971.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/18962"> Pascoe's fleet of tendersWith that being said, investment in a good, seaworthy and aesthetically pleasing tender is a wise decision. But with a larger tender requiring a substantial amount of dedicated space on board - sometimes at the sacrifice of living areas - and a tender custom-built to match her mothership a pretty substantial cost, it can be easy to treat the tender as an afterthought. We caught up with the experts at X-Tender, Pascoe, Castoldi and Compass Tenders to hear their thoughts on how to make the most of your tender on board.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/18960/image/large-5f0e71e3991e5c99019c9c5c82b3692a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/18960"> Savannah's 9.9m tender from XtenderMany superyacht owners would argue that the investment in time, energy and money into a beautiful, big tender is not worth it when you can get a no-nonsense tender for a fraction of the cost. What makes the investment worth it?Pascoe: When it comes to selecting tenders, owners should remember the saying: ‘Buy cheap - buy twice’. Often any saving on the initial purchase will be lost in on-going maintenance when it becomes apparent that the less established and cheaper brands are not able to offer the level of in-service support and aftersales care that comes from a dedicated superyacht tender brand.Compass Tenders: A good tender doesn't have to be a 'big' tender. A good tender has to be safe, dry and give the owner and his guests an appropriate level of creature comforts. My thought is that it's the correct investment for an owner to get the best tender he can and that investment should be in line with the mothership. There is no substitute - guests need to be safe and dry whilst travelling between shore and superyacht and with yachts anchored offshore more and more, to not be able to make it ashore because of wind or sea state just isn’t an option. At the end of the day, it's all about guest safety and comfort, which doesn't include getting soaking wet!Castoldi: Firstly, I don’t think the focus should be on the size, it should be on the price to quality ratio, reliability and performance. You can get large tenders which are substantially much less expensive than a small custom tender, for example. But either way, I don’t think that investment in a custom tender is worth it considering that a bespoke tender must be considered a prototype, surely not free from all the defects of the one-off product. At Castoldi, we make tenders produces in series, deeply tested, that work for thousands of hours, ending up with a superior product. You just can’t get it right the first time, in my opinion, so these custom tenders that are worth millions of euros… it’s slightly absurd!Xtenders: Important to notice: custom does not mean good. There are custom builders that use the same techniques and quality finish as production boats. Regardless, and despite the relatively small size of the custom tender market, the differences in build quality and technologies are big. Smaller tenders are easier to store on board of the yacht, but that is where the advantages end.One who wants a small, cheap, mass-produced tender probably doesn’t have much experience with tenders. First, the majority of the mass produced tenders are of poor build quality, hence they can be heavy and difficult to maintain. Companies just have to take major shortcuts to bring the price down and stay competitive in the business-to-consumer market.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/18961/image/large-57015a25ff5864a8fc63330d2196f5d8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/18961">What impact does a good tender on the superyacht experience for owner, guests and crew?Castoldi: A good tender is extremely important for any superyacht. When a yacht is moored up, all of the movements from the boat will be undertaken on the tender - from grocery shopping to transporting guests to shore. Tenders should be seen as work boats, they never stop. So on a practical level, a good tender is essential. Furthermore, if you have a luxury yacht and you’re tender is some little outboard, then it doesn’t make sense. Guests want to experience the level of luxury they get on a superyacht with every element of the experience, and that includes the tender.&nbsp;Pascoe: Tenders play a key role in the overall superyacht experience for owners and their guests. With large yachts forced to anchor offshore, the tenders are the only representation of the mothership at the dockside and the first element of the yacht that guests will come into contact with when they start their time onboard.A good tender should, therefore, show the same attention to detail and the mothership whilst performing perfectly in all weather conditions with complete reliability. If a guest arrives by private aircraft, is chauffeur driven to a marina only to be transferred to the superyacht by a basic leisure boat which covers them in spray during the passage then the tender becomes the weak link in the entire process.Xtenders: A good custom tender allows the owner and the crew to present their requirements and wishes before the design starts. That means that they should get exactly what they need. The owner will obviously enjoy the accurately matched to his yacht styling and finish of the tender. The tender will be a true part of the yachting experience. For the crew, it means, a tender that is easy to store on board, good after-sales service and specific usability features that are included into the design.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/18963/image/large-a8db54f53acb488521f103b71bc07afc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/18963">Black Pearl Limousine from Pascoe InternationalWhat are some of the more common mistakes made when selecting a tender?Compass Tenders: To avoid mistakes, careful appraisal of the tenders’ use and the age groups the tender will be used for is essential. For me, RIB's aren't a great option as superyacht guest tenders as they tend to have low freeboard, so they’re potentially wet and present a feel of sitting on the tender, rather than in it. Also, elegant and safe boarding can be challenging with a RIB, as you generally have to stand on the air-filled tubes.Xtenders: Quality varies a lot per brand, testing the product and gathering experience of other users is essential. Some clients insist on certain features that at the end badly influence a total design and durability of the tenders.Castoldi: In my opinion, buying a one-off custom tender is the biggest mistake you can make. Sure, on yachts of 100+ metres, okay, but on a smaller boat, I just think it doesn’t make sense. Owners should invest in a decent sized tender, reliable and that performs well. In fact, the tender should be as big as possible. The bigger the tender, the better it is. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/18964/image/large-9f8f0784a03a9876afb0544e92d1eee4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/18964"> Madame Gu's limo tender from Compass TendersPart of a lack of investment in tenders is the fact that there is simply no room on board many superyachts to accommodate a substantial additional vessel. For an owner considering whether to sacrifice living space for tender space, what would you say? Xtenders: Without a doubt, rearranging interior space to fit the largest tender possible will maximise the yachting experience. Especially for those who fancy active leisure activities. In 8 years I have never heard an owner saying that his tenders are too big. A bigger tender will extend the reach of the yacht without sacrificing the comfort. It will also connect the yacht and the shores and ensure the unique experience starts already during the transfer to the yacht and ends when dropping off back at the vast land.Another trend on bigger yachts is to have a larger number of specific boats such as sailing boats, wakeboard boats etc. It may be a better option to create a dedicated space for a larger multipurpose tender instead of stuffing the yacht with numerous smaller ones.Compass Tenders: We are finding that tender stowage areas are becoming more and more challenging in relation to crew and owner expectations. Tenders can quickly become compromised through lack of stowage space. It's not only length that needs to be considered, it's height. This is becoming more and more relevant to open tenders as well as limousine tenders, as owners are demanding solid T top biminis to shield seating areas. If crew members are going to be required to supervise long periods of watersports activities, then shade from the sun is also a must. Again the LOA and guest use of the mothership should be carefully considered so the appropriate tenders can be built or sourced.&nbsp;Castoldi: I would always recommend sacrificing a bit of living space to accommodate a bigger tender. This doesn’t always have to be such a big sacrifice, though, with more and more yachts featuring completely different configurations. But if an owner is questioning whether or not they should, my advice is that you definitely should!<a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title=""><img src="/uploads/store/photo/13976/image/large-0479ea0b23567c145bad5ee46c7a49e8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/13976"></a> This article was featured in the latest edition of the SuperYacht Times newspaper.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.superyachtcompany.com/newspaper/the-superyacht-times-subscription" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Subscribe now&nbsp;</a>to receive your copy straight to your door and never miss another issue!&nbsp;

Insight: The quest for the perfect tender

Sponsored ContentCrafted by Pascoe International under the guidance of the owner’s build team and Burgess, this 10.6-metre limousine tender is an elegant and purposeful vessel. Designed to perfectly complement the mothership, the 110-metre Oceanco-built Jubilee, delivered earlier this year and featuring exteriors by Lobanov Design, and an interior by Sorgiovanni Designs.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/13750/image/large-11c84b31dbfa367db5942433b2712f82.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/13750">The Pascoe International limousine range provides high-end, fast and comfortable tenders which excel in all weather conditions. Borrowing both form and function from the classic Venetian water taxis, Pascoe International limousines take the concept to a whole new level. All Pascoe Limousines are optimised to make the best use of the space available in even the most restrictive of tender garages, and are available in any variation between eight and 12 metre<img src="/uploads/store/photo/13743/image/large-a44cfc83e45b59a905fec41fc89a5c86.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/13743">Built specifically to match the 110-metre motoryacht, Jubilee in quality and appearance, the Pascoe limousine features two quite distinct and separate external areas accessible directly from the dock and from the elegant doors either side of the handsome cabin.With her carefully considered design, the tender’s guest cabin is positioned centrally to give guests the smoothest, quietest journey possible, with her innovative use of space still allowing for a forward open air seating area. Her exterior finishes are identical to those found on the mothership, ensuring that the limousine is a true reflection of Jubilee when her guests are first welcomed at the dockside.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/13745/image/large-c3f37fea818af3db1dfebe52cfcafd2f.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/13745">The vessel is able to transport up to 12 guests in style and comfort, with the finest Italian leather used in her interiors. With fastidious attention to detail a hallmark of Pascoe International tenders, Jubilee’s leather is complemented by beautiful Flame Makore panelling, finished to perfection in a deep gloss lacquer.Featuring all the amenities you would expect for a high-class tender, Jubilee also comes with an external wet bar with concealed refrigerator, champagne cooler, coffee machine and bespoke glassware storage.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/13753/image/large-7360ccaa952a204cd6b8d7ca75bbdbf6.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/13753"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/13752/image/large-fd35074fe8913d5bc66a18970bb22ee3.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/13752">Roy Dance, the Captain of Jubilee describes his experience with this Pascoe tender: “This was my second tender build at Pascoe and I’m happy to report that although Pascoe International have significantly expanded their operation and product range since my first experience, design excellence, innovation, phenomenal attention to detail, and an uncompromising determination to improve the product on each and every build mean that Pascoe continue to occupy a position at the very pinnacle of the luxury yacht tender niche.

Tender of the Month: the sleek Jubilee limo tender

With over 180 tenders in active service for some of the world’s most iconic yachts, the UK-based Pascoe International has a well-established reputation for their so-called pocket superyachts. Here we talk to Vice President, Tom Southern about how the company got to where they are today and what we can expect to see from them in the future.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/166766/image/large-7512a92186cd360e6e9f1214e88a7e02.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/166766"> Pascoe International was established in 2004. Tell us about the company’s journey into building tenders and some of the major milestones since.Pascoe International came into being as a major player in the tender market when commissioned by the owner of the Maltese Falcon to supply a matching pair of open and cabin custom 10-metre tenders. The owner had researched the market and could not find tenders which could match his new yacht in terms of quality, innovation and attention to detail. Since then, Pascoe has gone on to build over 180 dedicated superyacht tenders.It is indeed significant that a majority of Pascoe tenders have been specified/requested by captains, chief engineers, shipyard and project managers – they have the responsibility to deliver to the owner a reliable tender to fully match all the owner’s expectations. As the Pascoe range now extends to open and enclosed limousine tenders and handsome beach landing craft, owners have increasingly wished to be involved in the finer details and to explore with Pascoe’s designers the best way to customise the tenders to match the mother ship and their own particular style.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/166767/image/large-7be33ac656b73ac2ffb2aab4a2fc8d08.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/166767">We notice that Pascoe Limousines actually display the Pascoe brand name yet a variety of styles are evident. Tell us more about that.At variance with companies who simply offer their services as boat/tender builders or companies who offer weekend leisure boats as tenders, Pascoe tenders are all based on tried and tested ‘platforms’ developed specifically to provide the ideal characteristics required for a yacht tender. This means that Pascoe guarantees such qualities and performance, and the owners can rest assured that they are not ordering a prototype tender which may, or may not, come up to their expectations. Regarding the styling, however, such platforms have been designed from the outset with the flexibility required to offer a wide range of options to ensure that the ultimate styling not only perfectly suits the mothership garage but also can match the look and feel of the main yacht.A number of Pascoe ‘pocket superyachts’ can be seen at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show, all based on fully optimised platforms, yet the look, the style and the proportions will have been dictated by their garages and owner requirements resulting in unique and highly individual dedicated superyacht tenders.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/166768/image/large-69378b576daf543f828b4a6a9455a429.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/166768">You note that any owner demanding the very best from their tender should come to you. What makes you and your tenders stand out from your competition?Quite simple – pursuit of perfection. A look into a Pascoe engine bay or indeed a cabin interior will instantly reveal the attention to detail, the level of innovation and, very importantly, the level of practicality and serviceability. Pascoe tenders, whilst very elegant, have been designed as working tenders, not just pleasure craft. They are designed and built to withstand the rigours of working 18 hour days, serving all the requirements of the mothership, with quality and reliability being the hallmark of every single Pascoe tender, whether a 5.5-metre SOLAS rescue tender or a 12-metre highly specified limousine.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/166769/image/large-8767e5771ac6d75b33f85ae4939cca6f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/166769">You’ve built and delivered nearly 200 superyacht tenders to date, with many clients ordering multiple craft at a time. What makes your clients go for the whole tender package with Pascoe?Pascoe is unique in that we will deliver a complete set of tenders to cater for all requirements of the mothership. It is not unusual for Pascoe to deliver packages of three or even four tenders to a single yacht. A recent package included a 10-metre enclosed limousine, an elegant 9-metre open guest tender, a 7-metre ski boat and a 7-metre crew/rescue tender. Each project is tailored to meet the clients individual requirements, built by Pascoe International’s 100 strong workforce at a dedicated production facility on the River Hamble, UK.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/166770/image/large-3c84800cee6cb1ea93a9d9227bb68713.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/166770">Pascoe International will be at the upcoming edition of the Monaco Yacht Show. What can we expect to see from you?You will see the unveiling of two splendid and very special new tenders designed by Ken Freivokh to match his design for the newly launched 106-metre Oceanco sailing yacht Black Pearl. These include a unique 10.4-metre limousine catering for 12 guests within a handsome cabin and a 10-metre larger evolution of Pascoe’s hugely successful Beachlander series. Pascoe will also present a brand new and quite distinct 10.2-metre limousine reminiscent of the most iconic gentleman’s launches, and there will be a number of Pascoe limousines and other Pascoe tenders at the show alongside their respective superyachts.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2-VeUWr8NkY" width="560"></iframe> Pascoe International Boatshed 3<a href="http://www.pascoeinternational.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/166771/image/large-05ab1de58c33c3a35dfa112b25155403.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/166771"></a> Universal Marine Crableck Lane Sarisbury Green SO31 7ZN UKE: <a href="mailto:sales@pascoeinternational.com">sales@pascoeinternational.com</a> T: +44 1489 564588 W: <a href="http://www.pascoeinternational.com" target="_blank">www.pascoeinternational.com</a>

Building to the superyacht standard: Pascoe’s world of tenders

Hampshire based Pascoe International has announced the launch of the 50th Shuttle tender in their range of super yacht tenders for the recently launched 50m superyacht Satori from Heesen Yachts in Holland. The Shuttle range has been extremely successful due to its versatility as a luxury guest launch, powerful watersports tender and all round crew work horse.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135034/image/large-3e50954921bd2fdaa22238c9a1b86d08.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135034">This 50th Shuttle is the second 7.0m to be built with the new mid engine layout which was specifically designed to accommodate the launch and recovery system on the 50m mother ship. Pascoe’s ability to meet the client’s requirements resulted in a tender with an improved ride, evenly balanced on the lifting points and providing excellent seating options. Since launching this model at the Monaco Yacht Show 2010 Pascoe has received four further orders for the mid engine model ranging from 7.0 to 7.4m.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135035/image/large-03e2b45e20e36dc71c07391259438432.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135035">Despite the global economic crisis during the last 2-3 years, Pascoe International has bucked the trend with a 20% increase in sales for 2010 and 2011’s order book reached maximum capacity before the end of 2010. As a result of this success Pascoe has taken on a new 530sq m (5700sq ft) work shop on their existing site at Universal Marina, Southampton. The total floor area of the Pascoe production facility has now increased by 46% to just under 1700sq m (18,150sq ft).<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/135036/image/large-a355721f6b796c3d4e69d9b63433a756.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/135036">The new workshop will house the tender assembly and engineering works, leaving the existing main workshop entirely dedicated to composite work. This additional area will offer the much needed space to both increase production of the semi production ranges, such as the Shuttle, and build more custom one-off tenders, such as the SL10 Limousine; therefore strengthening their existing in-house design and build solution.Richard Watson, General Manager at Pascoe International, said “We are immensely pleased with our performance and subsequent success over the last few years especially during the recent tough times which affected so many other companies within the marine industry. This success has been down to the hard work and dedication of our skilled team throughout the company and the acquisition of our new facilities demonstrates our intention not to rest on our laurels but to continue to remain at the top of our game. Universal Marina has proved to be a fantastic location for us and our clients and it was a simple decision to keep all our facilities in one place.”Pascoe International Giles Truscott +44 (0) 1489 564588 <a href="mailto:sales@pascoeinternational.com?subject=Pascoe%20International%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">sales@pascoeinternational.com</a> <a href="http://www.pascoeinternational.com" target="_blank">www.pascoeinternational.com</a>
