This custom yacht tender project began with a request from a long term captain friend who needed a very special solution to tow behind a 54 meter yacht. The tender had to carry 12-14 guests comfortably, be capable of high speed in rough conditions, have a fold-down landing craft door in the bow that could be used to transfer guests to the stern of the yacht or a beach, have integrated reinforcement for trans-oceanic towing, and utilize diesel outboards for refueling off the mothership in remote locations.
