Megayacht Tenders

I Fully agree, a RIB is the only way to go, some of the 'tenders' shown on the previous pages are very impressive motor boats, but id hate to have to recover one in any kind of swell. However for a megayacht a full fleet of water toys and boats is a selling point to owner or charterer's, especially that turbine RIB and the Jonnger shown eairler .
The most impressive power yacht for me is the one the carries the biggest sail boat, tender of choice 45ft racing yacht, ok maybe 60ft.

Does anybody have experience with the new Aquariva? (behaviour, durability etc)??!!
Or should i go for Boesch 900??!!!

Hello there,
I found a short movie of the 33 aquariva http://www.botentekoop.nl/filecache/movies/6/

Time will tell if they are durable or not. I guess it will be ok.

Guido de Groot has a nice one up his sleeve.
Here's a drawing of the T42

not bad

Great tender,

But i think it does not fit in my lazarette! Max 11,5 meters!

Any other customized suggestions are more than welcome!!

Looks like the perfect choice for a Wally .... <imagine rude smilie here>

ever thought about a double or triple hull as a tender?

:

I agree Jannick. For a sailing auxiliary to go with a large yacht a multi-hull (catamaran would also work) makes much more sense than the usual keel monohull.

hm.. i'm designing a 37m yacht with side-loaded tender, i think if you take down the mast it should work!

also if you have a 80m motor yacht, maybe you want to sail a bit, and maybe you like some triple hull yachts like me <imagine laughing smile here>

i got also the idea to design a sail-cat with a look-like tender, just some meters shorter *g*

If you want a multi-hull tender, a Volvo X-40 cat could be great fun!

öhm... kevin? have you got a picture here of it?

Lotsa' pics of the VX40s can be found at their site: http://volvoextreme40.org/

The particularly nice thing about these cats is they can be folded up and put away into a relatively compact place. They were made to be shipped from venue to venue in regular shipping containers.

WOW

nice one...

Maybe not so original, but I love the Novurania rib's,

And If I had the space on my yacht I would take the Riva Aquarama with me as tender, lovely boat.

Those are awesome tenders.You guys rock
Have Fun

Yeah, especially when a 4/5 meter great white is following you on your tail!
