TENDER THOUGHTS 

WE ASKED A NUMBER OF INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS 

ABOUT THEIR FIRST AND CURRENT TENDERS AND THE 

IMPORTANT ELEMENTS WHEN BUYING A NEW TENDER 

KEN ECKERT 

Engineering Manager 

Mercury Marine PD& E 

What has been your favourite 

tender during your career 

and why? 

A large outboard powered centre console. My 

favourite model is the Boston Whaler 350 Outrage. 

If you could buy any tender today, which one 

would it be? 

I currently own a Whaler 350 Outrage. The Outrage 

is the Cadillac V series of centre consoles. 

If building a custom tender, what are the most 

important elements for you? 

Comfortable, adequate seating for the family, a head 

that is roomy and well appointed, a dive door is a 

must with easy ingress and egress to the water, 

Storage, storage, storage (dive tanks, rods & reels, 

personal items). 

Inboard or outboard and why? 

100% outboard; performance, efficiency, ease of 

maintenance and serviceability and the ability to 

trim engines completely out of the water. 

SEBASTIAN BIEN M/Y Captain 



and why? 

Williams. Solid make, good 

service, very comfortable on 

the choppy sea and great at 

keeping the guests dry. I spent 

many years in the Greek waters where you 

took guests from one island to another, and we 

BRENDON O’SULLIVAN 

Chief Engineer 

New Build 98m Aviva 

Tenders are the bane of my 

life early in a project as they 

get selected by an owner 

and or his captain/advisors, then again when 

the crew turn up and have a whole different 

idea of what they ‘need’. Most of those needs 

are in reality a list of wants because the new 

tenders are different to what they are used 

to and they just need some time to get used 

to what they have. 

What has been your favourite tender during 

your career and why? 

I have been involved in a number of them and 

only have one I would care to repeat. Custom 

Tender 6.5m. Nice to operate, good on fuel, 

economic to maintain. 


would it be? 

A modern version of the same thing maybe 

stretched a bit. 

always felt very comfortable and safe with them. 


would it be? 

Definitely WILLIAMS. This is from my experience 

from yachts sized 25m - 38m. 


Inboard. They’re safe for guests and great for 

using with watersports, plus easy to maintain. 

CLIFFORD DENN 

Superyacht Designer 

Over the past few years, have you 

seen a greater need or more requests 

to implement larger tender garages 

within your designs? 

Not really, I think everyone has always 

wanted as big a tender as possible! 

There is never enough space for toy 

storage/slides/jetski/ etc including 

sunbeds and all the usual stuff. It is 

just a compromise and balance with 

interior space. Personally I don’t think 

making the tender garage a beach club 

as well works as it always ends up 

looking too technical. Tender garages 

have moved away from the aft (further 

forward or to bow area) to allow the 

bathing platform to access directly to 

beach clubs. People tend to want the 

tenders inside to protect them and 

not see them. 

As a designer, have you considered 

designing luxury tenders? 

Yes and I would love to do more. I have 

already done a lot of work for Fassmer 

on their lifeboat tenders. The 9.26m was 

a ‘yacht’ tender that was also a lifeboat. 

If you could buy a tender tomorrow 

which one would it be ? 

I think I would look into a hydrofoil. 

I would also be looking at anything 

green or electric - all starting to come 

now. Maybe there is a hybrid motor or 

sailer tender possible? 


For me it needs to be an inboard for 

the luxury look and feel as it is more 

refined and integrated. 

DAMIEN MARTIN 

Y.CO 

Yacht Manager 



and why? 

The Rafnar Flengur. It is an 

absolute workhorse and 

indestructible. The builders 

gave one to the Icelandic 

Coastguard and told them 

to break it, they couldn’t, so 

they got a crane and did a 

pendulum test against a wall, 

the wall fell over, so they gave 

it back to the Coastguard and 

said try again. 

If you could buy any tender 

today, which one would it be? 

It would be one of three: 

1. A Rafnar either the Flengur 

or her bigger sister, Leiftur 

2. A Revolt – superfast, with 

seven marine engines with 

suspended seats. Very fun 

to drive, almost dangerously 

comfortable. 

3. A Zodiac Hurricane MILPRO 

A bit like an angrier big 

brother to the Revolt. The 

Revolt comes into her own 

on calm days, whereas the 

Hurricane is what the Navy 

SEALs use to get to work. 

If building a custom tender, 

what are the most important 

elements for you? 

When they build a tank, they 

talk about mobility, armour 

and armament. In tenders I 

think there is a similar ethos: 

handling, seaworthiness, 

comfort and safety. A tender 

needs to drive well, in all 

conditions getting crew and 

guests to where they need to 

be, in one piece and without 

needing a change of clothes… 

I like to think that any tender 

might be required in a man 

overboard, or abandon ship 

scenario in the worst case 

planning. So whilst it may 

look shiny and nice, it needs 

to be able to function in the 

most challenging situations 

and conditions.

AS A LONG TIME CAPTAIN AND NOW PROLIFIC SUPERYACHT INDUSTRY 

JOURNALIST, MICHAEL HOWORTH SPENDS MOST OF THE YEAR 

TRAVELLING TO SHIPYARDS AND YACHT SHOWS AROUND THE WORLD 

LOOKING AT THE LATEST AND GREATEST THE INDUSTRY HAS TO OFFER. 

THERE IS NO DOUBT HE KNOWS HIS STUFF, SO WE ASKED HIM IF MONEY 

WERE NO OBJECT, WHAT WOULD HE BUY IN TERMS OF THE ULTIMATE 

SUPERYACHT TOY, CHASE BOAT, JET BOAT AND SPORTS BOAT 

ULTIMATE SUPERYACHT TOY 

When we first broached the subject of 

the ultimate toy we soon discovered 

Howorth had probably been watching 

too many Youtube videos. “Have you seen the 

Selby Piper 50?” he said. “It’s a futuristic take on 

the proven Lippisch configuration of the ‘wing 

in ground effect’ aircraft created especially for 

the leisure market.” He showed us pictures and 

it looked amazing, we even spoke to the head 

designer and discovered that the project has been 

10 years in the making by a team of highly skilled 

and experience aviation experts, together with 

experts from Custom Carbon Ltd in the UK, who 

are experienced with Kawasaki super bikes, UK 

GT series, European Le Mans series and Historic F1 

vehicles… so the pedigree couldn’t be much better. 


CHASE 

BOAT 

We asked him to choose his ultimate 

chase boat and after waffling on 

trying to define what a chase boat 

actually is or is not, we demanded a final choice. 

“OK,” he said. “I think I’d go for the Wajer 

Yachts 55 because it simply oozes style and 

sophistication on the water.” Howorth reckons 

this boat does everything you want a chase 

tender to do. Stand out from the crowd, make 

a big impression every time you enter a marina 

and with the IPS600 it’s easy to park it like a 

pro in any conditions…Well almost! The Wajer 

Yachts 55 is big enough to offer a healthy mix 

of interior cabin space with a private galley, 

sleeping accommodation, toilet and shower, 

plenty of comfortable guest seating outside 

for those ship to shore transfers, helm seats for 

those who want to be more involved with the 

driving experience and finally sun pads in case 

your guests want to chill out in the sun after a 

hard day enjoying the other water toys on board 

or after a strenuous lunch. 


JET BOAT 

LIMOSINE 

Of course Howorth wanted to opt for the 

Vikal 12m catamaran from Australia as his 

must have jet boat and who could blame 

him! At 3 million euros it has to be the ultimate jet 

boat under 13 metres but we reminded him that 

it could not count given he had already chosen it 

as his all time favourite limousine tender. “Choose 

another one,” we told him. So he pondered and 

opted for the Williams Diesel-Jet 625 Sport 

because it can be customised to suit his eye 

watering colour requirements. He was quite taken 

by the outlandish use of green and yellow on the 

one carried aboard the superyacht Eos. With a 

starting price around €81K for the base boat, and 

a good selection of options even the average 

owner would find it hard to spend anything like 

the cost of the Vikal. 

SPORTS BOAT 

When it came to sports boats, 

Howorth became more animated 

and started to tell us of the Super 

Air Nautique GS 24 with its 550hp engine and 

a €160K price tag. It was when we showed him 

pictures of the new 50th anniversary, XT25, 

the largest multi purpose crossover boat from 

Mastercraft that the conversation took a turn. 

The first new boat launch of 2018 in what will 

be MasterCraft’s 50th anniversary year has a 

new crossover hull bottom that will deliver huge 

wakeboard wakes and customisable surf waves 

as well as smooth slalom skiing. Specialist 

Sports Boats have always been big sellers in the 

USA, but now we’re seeing many yacht owners 

who cruise on the Mediterranean looking for a 

specialised sports or tow boat. With a radical 

new hull design for unparalleled wakes and the 

FastFill Ballast System to get them rolling in 

under three minutes, the boat also has a new 

custom rudder for next-level-nimble handling. 

As they say it serves up the biggest, baddest 

wake in the industry. 


ADVERTORIAL 

BACK TO BASICS 

Josh Richardson asks if we have lost sight 

of enjoying the thrill of more traditional toys 

At Superyacht Tenders and Toys we 

are always at the forefront of new 

toys and services coming into the 

industry, whether this is new inflatables, 

foiling surfboards, jetskis or submersibles. 

In this industry there is a focus on high end, 

expensive new toys. There is an increasing 

trend among yachts demanding toys which 

provide as large a thrill as possible, with 

the minimal amount of skill for instant 

gratification. As watersports enthusiasts 

and former instructors ourselves we hope 

that the industry does not become overrun 

with new battery powered toys but that the 

costing €15k each, and when we test rode 

these they simply did not perform, giving 

only 10 knots speed at best with other 

issues on top. This meant that we had 

no choice but to send these back to the 

manufacturer and refund the client as 

we could simply not recommend them. 

There is a real danger here of believing all 

the hype around a new toy but that item 

not being able to perform as expected. 

Often products go to market too soon 

and manufacturers have not had the time 

to test and refine and ensure they are fit 

for purpose. On occasion we have been 

told by manufacturers that they plan to 

it is easy to see what the trends are. 

Unfortunately, this makes bleak reading 

for us wind sport enthusiasts, as there 

is a downwards trend in sail sports which, 

perhaps for a large proportion of us, is the 

whole reason we got involved in the industry 

in the first place. Seemingly they do not 

offer the instant gratification required by 

the quick-fix generation. 

Orders for kitesurfing, dinghies and 

windsurfing are very low compared to 

Seabobs and other toys. However, new 

generation toys such as the Tiwal sailboat 

have helped, offering a good sailing experience 

OWNERS AND CHARTERERS ARE BECOMING MORE FITNESS AWARE, AND PADDLE 

BOARDS OFFER A GOOD WAY TO TAKE EXERCISE AND ENJOY BEING ON THE WATER 

simple life of wind sports and just getting 

out on the water and enjoying the peace 

it has to offer does not get lost. 

Owners and charterers are always seeking 

the latest and greatest toys to play on. 

One such new toy which springs to mind is 

the electric surfboards which are on many 

yacht shopping lists. They have sold well over 

the past 4 years, with a short dip in orders 

due to Lampuga going into administration 

in 2017. There are undoubtedly many happy 

clients out there, however there are also 

a number of dissatisfied ones who have 

had maintenance issues with the boards. 

Recently we received two boards from a wellknown 

new electric surfboard manufacturer, 

sell initially to the superyacht market as 

they can charge inflated prices meaning 

they can then invest in more R & D to 

bring the items to the wider marketplace, 

something that we feel very uncomfortable 

with. At Superyacht Tenders and Toys we 

make a huge effort to test ride, drive and 

fly every item which is sold and this puts 

us in the unique situation of being able to 

offer clients the best advice without the 

marketing noise. 

Superyacht Tenders and Toys specialise 

in new build outfitting and are involved 

in supplying most of the notable current 

builds with the full complement of toys 

and leisure equipment. With this in mind 

but on an easy and fully inflatable package 

to assist with storage on board. Over the 

years owners and charterers are becoming 

more fitness aware, and some sports like 

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUPS) offer a 

good way to take exercise and enjoy being 

on the water. Newer inventions like the 

Schiller Water Bike and other non-motorised 

toys take this further. 

Whether you are active or after the quick 

adrenalin fix, Superyacht Tenders and Toys 

offer the best packages for your needs 

based off our extensive experience.

SAFETY 

MATTERS 

TENDER 

IS THE 

NIGHT 

RYA Powerboat and Personal Watercraft Trainer Graham Stones enlightens us on the 

key safety points when driving tenders. Yachts and their crews need to follow a simple set 

of rules when driving a tender, this is of specific importance when driving at night or in 

unfamiliar ports during a busy charter season 

Transferring guests between their yacht and the shore in a 

tender through a busy anchorage during a charter season 

at night is probably one of the most important parts of a 

deck crew’s responsibilities. 

Tender driving and safety is an important part of the industry and 

an area that can be weak – look around any port or anchorage 

to see an alarming number of tenders zipping around with no 

kill cords in use or exceeding speed limits. The lack of kill cord 

usuage at major yacht shows has even been well documented on 

social media in the past few years. Yachts should have a set of 

operating standards for their tender with which crew should be 

fully conversant. The procedures should include launching method, 

number of crew on board for guest transfers; life jacket and 

kill cord use policies, method of communication with the yacht. 

Operating a tender safely and efficiently requires careful consideration 

of a few simple things to make the crews’ life a lot safer and a 

be reassuring experience for guests. 

TRAINING 

When your tender comes back from winter storage re-familiarise 

all crew with the vessel, including handling characteristics, the 

location and operation of all controls, switches, circuit breakers, 

shut off points and extent and operation of the safety and firefighting 

equipment. 

Starting with new crew, discuss what training and experience they 

have and support them with a familiarisation for your tender to 

ensure they gain the level of competence required to professionally 

and confidently helm it. 

A first officer on a 68m yacht says, ‘With a new crew member I 

discuss their experience. Then I check their ability on our 9.25m 

twin screw chase boat. I give them a chance to see what the 

boat can do, investigating speed through the water at tick over 

and various manoeuvres on single engines, switching between 

inside and outside engines when coming along side. I probe their 

Col Regs knowledge. Once I’m happy with their knowledge they 


start doing guest runs under supervision before progressing to 

night runs in familiar areas. The RYA Powerboat Tender Operators 

course covers most of the subjects covered in this article. It 

builds on the boat handling skills covered at Level 2 to include 

short-handed berthing, dealing with guests on a tender including 

safety and comfort considerations and also includes night-time 

navigation planning and execution from yacht to a shore-side 

drop off point using purely electronic navigation. 

SAFETY FIRST 

The kill cord is there for a reason and should be used all the time, 

without exception. It should be worn around the thigh. There are 

potentially life-changing or fatal consequences of not wearing it. 

Kill cord discipline must come from the top with repercussions 

for not using it such as a warning or disciplinary to double watch 

Most of these measures are common sense but we are probably 

far stricter about them on board the mother ship than we are 

in the tender. I visit 35-40 yachts a year for on board training 

or inspections often being transferred myself in the tender and 

although standards are definitely improving, there is often room 

for improvement in the standard of tender operations. 

An officer on a 47m yacht sums it up, “Safety is paramount, 

especially with tenders. Crews need to be vigilant in order not to 

damage the vessel, the local area/marine life or most importantly 

people, whether that be crew, guests or the general public. 

‘Slow is Pro’ is most definitely the ethos I adopt and instill in 

my crew. Stay within your comfort zone, if you’re comfortable 

with the operation of the tender, it will radiate and put your 

passengers at ease.” 

With a new crew member I discuss their experience, then I check their ability on our 9.25m 

twin screw chase boat. I give them a chance to see what the boat can do, investigating 

speed through the water at tick over and various manoeuvres on single engines 

duties. Set the example. Lifejackets are useless unless worn. 

Crew should wear them as they are often jumping on and off 

tenders, swim platforms and jetties in a rush to get a line on 

or help guests. Nowadays, lifejackets are available in a variety 

of colours and styles, so they can match pretty much any crew 

uniform. Guests should be offered lifejackets, a much easier sell, 

if the crew wears one! 

Ensure guests are seated and holding on in case of any unsighted 

wash from other vessels at night. If the need arises for a bold 

alteration of course to avoid a collision in the dark, it could 

easily evolve into a man (person) overboard recovery if people are 

standing. When was the last time your crew practiced a man 

overboard recovery exercise on the tender? Can they get back 

in a safe timely manner in the dark or rough conditions? Are all 

your life saving appliances and equipment on the tender readily 

accessible and easily used in the dark? 

SAFETY FIRST MANNING AND COMMUNICATION 

If possible, always operate with at least two crew members on 

board, especially at night. This is critical for keeping a look out, 

assisting with mooring lines, communications with the yacht 

and looking after the guests while underway. 

Before leaving the yacht ensure you carry out a radio check 

with the bridge by vhf, briefing them of where you are heading 

to and confirming additional means of contact, (mobile phone or 

uhf radio). If your tender doesn’t have a tracker or AIS fitted, 

share your location through WhatsApp or the RYA Safetrx app 

with an officer on board so they can monitor where you are when 

you depart in the dark. 

NAVIGATING 

If you are in an unfamiliar area consult pilot books, charts, ECDIS 

and even Google Earth to check for local hazards, by-laws as well 

as drop off or refuelling berths etc. Endeavour to do a ‘dry run’ 

to familiarise yourself. Use the tender’s chart plotter to enter 

a simple waypoint route to navigate at night. Before departing, 

place a waypoint alongside the yacht so you can easily find your 

way straight back to the mothership amongst other similar looking 

yachts if you are in a busy marina or port. Learn to recognise 

your own yacht at night. 

“There are horror stories most years of crew not properly looking 

out, swimmers nearly or actually being hit, all of which is avoidable 

with a bit more common sense and attention. Reduce speed in 

anchorages, bad weather or sea state. I’d sooner crew take 

twice as long to get somewhere and have disgruntled guests 

than rush and have an accident that could have been avoided. The 

last thing anyone wants to become is another statistic.” 

TOP TIPS FOR TENDER DRIVING 

Ensure all crew are familiar with the handling 

characteristics of the tenders they are operating in all 

conditions including MOB recovery 

• Do they know where all the life-saving equipment and 

switches etc are located? 

• Always have two crew members on board with guests, 

especially at night 

• When you arrive somewhere new familiarise yourself 

with the area 

• Use the electronics on board to make your life easier 

when ferrying to the drop off point or back 

• Learn to recognise your own yacht in the dark 

• Establish a means of communication with the bridge 

and have a back-up 

• Keep a good look out especially at night for other 

tenders and unexpected wash 

• Wear a life jacket, it’s useless unless worn 

• Kill cords save lives – wear it

LIFECORD 

Lifecord was launched during the 

London Boat Show 2018. This new 

lifesaving product is a must for all 

tender and RIBs crew. Unlike the 

typical passive kill cords commonly 

seen, Lifecord is a ‘smart’ kill cord 

incorporating detection technology 

designed to trigger an audible 

and visual warning alarm should 

Lifecord be connected to the boat’s 

kill switch but not the pilot. Similar 

to the seatbelt warning in your car. 

Should for any reason it become

GOOD 

SPORTS 

For the serious ski or wake enthusiast, the performance and wake of a dedicated towsports 

boat is hard to beat. The classic skiboat features a shallow hull angle at the back of the boat. 

Ski boats also usually position the engine in the centre of the boat. This combined with the 

shallow deadrise allows the boat to run at a level attitude. The result is strong acceleration 

and minimal wake size, allowing the boat to pull a skier and wakesurfer with ease

TENDER STYLE 

A combination of form and function means that 

every technical solution within a Wally is developed 

to enhance its overall beauty 

Since the launch of Wally in 

1994, the design of their 

sailing yachts, displacement 

superyachts, powerboats and tenders 

have helped to shape the modern 

era of the yachting industry. After a 

successful few years dominating the 

sail yacht market, Wally turned their 

concentration to motor yachts and 

launched their first tender in 2001. 

WALLYTENDER 

The stylish 13.95m Wallytender has 

a beam of 4.20m, and a top speed of 

between 40 and 50 knots. With up 

to 740hp available, it should more 

than cater for diving trips, spinning 

around desert islands and ferrying 

guests to the mothership. Carrying up 

to 12 guests in safety and comfort, 

the Wallytender offers performance 

and technology giving owners the 

sheer pleasure of navigation while 

epitomising the pure expression of 

the joy of open air living on the sea. 

Since its first launch in 2001, the 

Wallytender initiated a new era in 

the superyachts tender world, till 

then dominated by the inflatables. 

WALLYTENDER X 

The Wallytender X is the breakthrough 

version of the iconic Wallytender, 

dedicated to the high speed lovers. She 

is a super-fast day cruiser equipped 

with the new breed of outboard engines 

providing up to 1,200hp enhancing 

performance, manoeuvrability and 

efficiency. The flexibility and power of 

the latest propulsion system coupled 

with the proven Wally hallmarks 

produce a powerful boat with ease 

of handling, where open-air living, 

speed and enjoyment is the motto.

GREAT SUPPORT 

SHADOW VESSELS ARE GAINING POPULARITY AMONGST SUPERYACHT OWNERS 

AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING TO STAY BELOW THE 500GT MARK 

Slim Bouricha founded Lynx Yachts in 2011 driven by his vision 

of how a yacht should be designed and constructed, fine 

tuning the engineering and build process. A businessman 

with considerable experience in shipbuilding, Bouricha decided to 

take advantage of the grand tradition of Dutch yacht building and 

chose Nijkerk, in the Netherlands, as the Lynx Yachts headquarters. 

This area, rich in skilled artisans, has contributed to the creation 

of a team unsurpassed in their shipbuilding experience. 

The state of the art shipyard boasts a temperature controlled 

build hall and a 70m long quay allowing room for the construction 

of up to three yachts simultaneously. Lynx Yachts President, 

Slim Bouricha explains his rational behind the YXT concept “The 

main reason for owning a shadow vessel is really to unleash the 

potential of the main yacht and to considerably enhance the 

owners or guests yachting experience. More and more, owners and 

charterers are demanding a greater choice of toys and tenders. 

The YXT concept will deliver more than the bigger yacht can, and 

at a starting price just below €2M this is a great investment. 

As for the operating expenses, a YXT will be very economical. The 

variations are endless, whether we are carrying nautical tenders 

or cars, buggies or motorcycles … even extra accommodation, 

the shadow vessel just makes sense.” 

Superyacht support vessels are increasing in popularity within 

the industry whether they are used as a tender garage, extra 

storage for an array of toys or as a floating helideck. Owners 

are becoming more adventurous and demanding more from their 


yachting experience. If they want a 12 metre 

tender, a dive centre or even a submarine, 

why would you compromise on the luxury of 

the superyacht when a support vessel can 

offer you the perfect solution? 

When asked, Filippo Rossi Lynx Yachts Sales 

& Marketing Manager says, “There is a lot 

of curiosity around this topic and we are 

receiving enquiries from all over the world. 

First of all, the owners want to understand 

the costs and the delivery time, but the main 

issue is always the capacity to accommodate 

a big rib or a limo tender on board. Usually 

a 50-60 metre yacht doesn’t offer the 

possibility to have a limo tender on board, 

hence the shadow vessel is the right answer 

to this kind of need.” 

The necessity for larger tenders or indeed 

a dedicated sport boat, multiple PWCs, 

all terrain vehicles and more inflatables is 

pushing the limits of the superyacht. The 

support vessel is therefore the natural choice 

and provides the increase in capability the 

owner needs at a fraction of the cost of a 

larger superyacht. 

A dedicated support vessel will certainly 

increase safety in terms of freeing up deck 

space and allowing your crew to safely and 

efficiently deploy the tenders and toys. It 

also allows you to tailor the equipment you 

load dependent on destinations, activities 

and guests demands. 

It is however important to remember these 

vessels are not just the load carrying donkey. 

Many owners demand the same level of luxury 

for the support vessel as they have on the 

mothership as they tend to spend a lot of 

their free time during the day on and about 

the support vessel. It is also important to 

note that owners demand the same level 

of crew quarters on the support vessel as 

they have on the mothership – they want to 

give both crew equal standing. Rossi from 

Lynx Yachts mentions that “Every shadow 

vessel is a different project, based on the 

owner’s needs and wishes. If the client is 

not interested in speed we always suggest 

a steel hull. On the other hand, if the need 

for speed and related weight of the yacht 

is an issue, we suggest aluminum. Again, 

it is a choice of the client and we build the 

yacht around him.” 

The aesthetics and technology going into 

support vessel development is on a par with

Summer 2018 

www.lynxyachts.com 

THE VESSELS LEND THEMSELVES TO HAVING MUCH LARGER BEACH DECKS 

MEANING A GREATER NUMBER OF GUESTS CAN JOIN THE FUN, LEARN NEW 

WATERSPORTS AND PARENTS CAN RELAX AND BE CLOSER TO KIDS 

the larger yachts, no expense is spared in 

the interior finishing, it’s just the outside 

deck areas that are designed for the storage 

of the larger tenders and array of toys. 

The vessels also lend themselves to having 

much larger beach deck areas meaning a 

greater number of guests can join the fun, 

learn new watersports and parents can 

relax and be closer to kids in the water. 

These vessels can really take your yachting 

experience to a whole new level. 

A greater level of freedom is also granted 

to the mothership. There is no need to 

delay departures, waiting for the slides to 

be deflated and stored or the PWCs and 

tenders loaded and secured. The support 

vessel can also race ahead to the next 

anchorage, prepare, set up and be ready 

for the owner and guests to arrive. The 

support vessel can also accommodate other 

yachting professionals. Rossi notes when 

asked about crew accommodation on board, 

“The vessels also cater for another category 

of professionals, staff like for example a 

Scuba Dive Master or a sailing instructor, or 

a personal trainer. Those are professionals 

that are neither guest nor crew, and with 

a shadow vessel you can also host this kind 

of people, who can increase the quantity of 

activities you can offer family and guests, 

without sacrificing the space or privacy on 

board the main yacht. 

Other advantages are that the mothership 

can remain under the 500 GT mark, with 

the support vessel taking over on storage, 

they can be easily manoeuvred in smaller 

locations or marinas and cruise in rougher 

conditions whilst the mothership enjoys 

quieter anchorages. 

There is no doubt that owning a support 

vessel is more economical and more 

practicable than up-sizing to a larger 

mothership: the flexibility it gives is endless. 

The YXT Series from Lynx Yachts is a 20m 

to 40m production range conceived with a 

completely different philosophy and vision 

in respect to traditional Lynx Yachts. 

President Slim Bouricha strongly believes 

in the use and diffusion of this type of 

vessel; he does not consider the shadow 

boat to be just a short lived trend but a 

boat that every owner will sooner or later 

consider useful. This explains the yard’s 

investment in producing YXT yachts both 

in series and ‘on spec’, conforming to very 

precise choices in construction, transport, 

material and operating costs. Following the 

success of the first 24 metre model, the 

yard has decided to build two additional 

models: the first in the 20 metre range 

was launched in summer 2016. The third 

YXT of the series, the YXT24 Evolution, will 

be launched in summer 2018. 

In summary, Rossi says “The support vessel 

range has been created and designed to 

accompany the mothership, supplying 

additional storage, large tender transport, 

laundry and ironing, submersibles, water 

toys, helicopters, etc., or as support vessels 

for race boats.” 

“They double, if not triple, the space available 

for owners, allowing them to bring everything 

they desire on vacation with them, including 

their favourite car or helicopter. Depending 

on the boat’s configuration and final use, the 

YXT also means extra space for guests or 

the possibility to include, just for example, 

a professional galley, spa or gym.”

LOCKED & LOADED 

Tenders, tenders, tenders. There is no getting away from them on a superyacht, whether 

they are to be used for watersports, getting to and from the shore, exploration or crew 

duties. We can all agree they form a fundamental part of yachting. With the ever wider 

range of manufacturers, types and designs they are an ever trendy part of yachting as the 

tender side of the business has become better marketed Words: Josh Richardson 

Increasingly we are finding that shipyards 

and designers are more aware of them 

and they are getting designed better 

into the yachts storage and operations, 

giving owners, guests and crew a better 

experience. Many designers have preferred 

brands to work with based off past history 

and design in various manufacturers boats 

from the outset, which then sets the box 

dimensions (height, beam, length) and also 

crane weights installed by the shipyard. 

At SYTT we are regularly involved with new 

concept yachts and assisting in getting 

practical garages designed which fit the 

owners’ brief. Key considerations being 

ease of operations, cleaning, maintenance, 

chocking and of course proposing suitable 

boats for purpose ensuring boats are not 

compromised by height for sea keeping and 

deep V hulls, length for vessels being dry 

and fast, and beam for loading capacity of 

guests and equipment. 

As ever, the earlier tenders can be designed 

into garages during the build the better, and 

this goes without saying and avoids tenders 

having to be purchased to compromise. 

However, it is not just sizes of tender 

garages which are important, but also 

the cranes, chocks and other seemingly 

small details. Cranes and the lifting points 

on tenders are more often than not the 

single most important aspect of designing 

a new yachts garage arrangement affecting 

owners’ choice in the tenders they can 

purchase. This is however something rarely 

yacht captains and owners are involved in 

as it is planned at the very early stages 

of the build. With this in mind it makes a 

huge difference whether the tender has a 

single point lift, twin lifting points or the 

more traditional 3 or 4-point lifting. Avoiding 

spreader bars is fundamental to smooth 

yacht operations, something we are regularly 

having to fight with manufacturers against 

to find ways around when proposed. The 

lifting setup not only affects the stability 

and launching conditions which are possible 

to launch and recover tenders, but also 

impacts significant aspects of the tender 

design such as engine and drive choice, 

limousine roof length, seating and more. 

In tender builds lifting points need to be 

aligned to bulkheads and the load spread 

according to the boats centre of gravity. 

These then need to be rated and certified 

typically to 2.2 times the safe working load 

for a static lift, to 6 or even 8 times the 

load for carrying passengers. 

When designers are working up a general 

arrangement they need to decide how the 

tenders will be launched and recovered. 

At this time in the design there is a focus 

into the layout of the space to meet their 

requirements, and in particular the tender 

storage. Whether this be a drive in tender 

dock, beach club, roller launching up the 

transom, side garages with davits aft, midships 

or on the bow, winching onto deck 

or simply lifting on deck with davits. All of 

these need to be considered according to 

the types of tenders and the conditions 

and locations they will be used. 

A system for one yacht launching tenders in 

Antarctica in 40 knot winds is very different 

than a typical Med yacht. Recently we 

have been involved in a yacht who’s brief 

was to be able to drive a tender onto the 

yacht whilst at 10 knots. Transom rollers 

can work very well here. Regardless of the 

criteria of when and how the boats will be 

launched and recovered the correct answer 

is almost always the easiest. If boats can 

quickly be attached to a crane or driven 

onto rollers whilst the vessel is moving, 

then this invariably represents the safest 

option for the crew operating them and 

the vessel avoiding trapped fingers in large 

shackles and getting caught on lines from 

cranes. Prolonged periods when people are 


manhandling and shackling on lifting slings 

represent an increased risk. For many 

shipyards to try and design their tender 

launching system in line with what would 

be required for SOLAS tenders (Safety of 

Life at Sea Rescue boats) is positive, as it 

stipulates that boats need to be launched 

and recovered quickly at sea. 

With the garages and tenders designed 

what’s left? Simply making the tenders 

as easy to use as possible – logistics 

involving fendering and securing. This is 

something that most captains, crew and 

owners are able to have more influence 

on, as many items are purchased by them 

after a vessel is built or during the latter 

stages of a build. Below are some of the 

key items to consider: 

FENDERS 

There are a number of options here, which 

are largely driven by the size of the yacht 

and budget. Whilst every manufacturer 

will tell you they make the best, there are 

some key differences in the manufacture 

which are often price/quality based and 

worth knowing. 

INFLATABLE FENDERS 

Light in weight, easily inflated and easy to 

store. There are a huge variety of sizes 

possible from manufacturers such as AERE, 

Megafend, Fendequip and Henshaw. All can 

be custom sized with fender socks either 

in cotton or neoprene in a colour of choice. 

Key differences between manufacturers is 

the use of PVC or Hypalon material. PVC 

typically offers fully hot air welded seams, 

is lighter to handle, has a neater finish and 

has less chance of leaking. Hypalon is a 

heavier material that is commonly used on 

inflatable RIB tubes. It has high strength 

and abrasion qualities. Key factors as well 

as the material the fenders are constructed 

from are the use of stainless rotating 

swivels used to attach lines to the yachts 

allowing them to twist and also be able to 

be used end to end, or on their sides, and 

any internal wire frame for strengthening 

for larger vessels over 100m. 

FOAM CORE TRANSOM FENDERS 

Used by yachts for fendering on the bathing 

platform, transom areas and crew side 

doors on areas where tenders are either 

moored up to for long periods of time or 

they are repeatedly coming alongside. 

These high impact areas need sleek, good 

looking, hardwearing fendering that blends 

into the yachts design and having floating 

sausage fenders is simply not appropriate. 

These fenders can either be inflatable, 

built in Drop Stitch fabric (the same as 

used on inflatable paddleboards) which is 

very rigid when inflated (up to 15 P.S.I) or 

a rigid foam core fender. Choosing whether 

to have a rigid fender or inflatable comes 

down to how much storage the yacht has, 

how hardwearing an area it is used on and 

desired looks and feel. Many yachts go for 

rigid fenders as guests can step on them 

and feel secure without them moving and 

they are typically looked at as the highest 

quality option. Rigid transom fenders are 

typically built in manageable sections around 

1m long with a foam core which provides 

some fendering ability, then wrapped in 

neoprene and hypalon. Good transom 

fenders transform yacht operations allowing 

secure coming alongside and boarding for 

guests, as well as the ability to berth 

tenders alongside the vessel when not in 

use reducing tender damage. A budget of 

around €900 per metre section is realistic 

for a quality application. 


TENDER MOORING WHIPS 

When tenders are not required rather than 

leaving them alongside Tender Mooring 

Whips are used, and more rarely fixed 

tender booms. Tender Whips are generally 

seen as the best option and are a very 

inexpensive piece of equipment (approx. 

€2000 installed). Stainless flush mounts 

can be installed on swim platforms, deck, 

or rub rails, depending on the preferred 

location of the tender. The poles come 

in two pieces so can be easily stored on 

board. The flush bases eliminate tripping 

or catching of lines on board. Breast and 

spring lines are to be used to hold the 

tender in place and stop them surging 

forward or aft. Whips are available for 

tenders of all sizes, currently up to 22,000 

kg! Stainless fittings, high quality lines 

and cleats, along with painted finishes are 

all recommended. Due to the low cost of 

these it is generally recommended to go 

for a higher specification whip, which can 

take larger loads than expected. 

CARBON TENDER FENDERS 

These are rigid fenders, often called Pillar 

Fenders which mount on the yachts transom, 

so a tender can berth alongside. Due to 

the additional height they provide over the 

low-lying foam core transom fenders these 

are a better way of securing a tender, as 

it stops it riding over the transom in a 

swell. On these the rubbing strake of a 

tender will rise up and down the pillar. They 

are look good and highly functional. When 

made in carbon they are easy to handle, 

light - as low as 12kg per piece and are 

removable so only deployed when a yacht 

is at anchor. 

Options are available in aluminium, carbon, 

with lights, handles, folding, tilting with 

tender loads and are easily handled and 

moved. Having provided these for many 

yachts over a number of years there was 

a growing feeling that no-one was serving 

the yachts needs in terms of functionality 

and price point. So, SYTT now design and 

build their own lightweight carbon range 

which suits all tender sizes. A budget of 

€20,000 for a 70m yacht would be a good 

starting point for a good quality option. 

FENDER HOOKS 

Last item to mention is fender hooks, 

which are on almost every large yacht 

to hold fenders, or whips hanging over 

the side of the vessel. At around €1000 

per hook these are well worth a mention. 

These are typically custom handcrafted to 

securely fit the rail or bulwark profile of 

the superyacht and hardware configured 

to its needs. 

The core structure for these fender hooks 

and special purpose hooks is 316 stainlesssteel. 

The coverings are stitched together 

for a richly detailed look. Hardware choices 

include thread less fairleads, custom 

D-rings, box rings, cam cleats, custom 

sized thread less spreader bars and much 

more Bespoke special hooks such as rod or 

Tender Mooring Whip holders also available. 

Superyacht Tenders and Toys is outfitting 

the world’s largest yachts with deck and 

fender equipment plus Tender storage 

solutions, spreader bars, jet-ski and toy 

lifting equipment and the latest in carbon 

davits. They can offer any advice and guidance 

into the most suitable equipment for new 

build and existing yachts. The team fly, 

ride, dive and drive everything they sell.

THE 

TOY 

CHEST 

TOYS PLAY A BIG PART OF THE 

CHARTER EXPERIENCE. MORE 

AND MORE CHARTER BROKERS 

ARE SEEING CLIENTS MAKE 

THEIR YACHT SELECTION BASED 

ON WHAT PLAY THINGS ARE 

CARRIED ON BOARD THEIR 

YACHT FOR THE HOLIDAYS 

Ask any charter guest or prospective guest 

about their voyage aboard a superyacht and 

it is a fair bet that the word ‘toys’ will be 

used in the first sentence or two. Water toys, it 

seems, are increasingly important when it comes to 

differentiating one charter yacht from another. With 

great advancements in luxury water toys over the past 

few years, yacht owners and charter guests alike have 

come to expect a vast array of exciting watercraft and 

adrenaline-pumping toys to accompany and enhance 

their stay on board. With ever changing technologies, 

knowing what to purchase and how to operate and 

maintain these additions is certainly becoming a full 

time job for many crews and those tasked with stocking 

the yacht with the latest additions. 

If ever superyacht toys got good coverage recently 

it was at the hands of BBC television. Viewers of the 

UK’s best-watched TV series of 2017 will have seen 

the Triton submarine carried aboard Alucia where it was 

used for over 500 hours of documentary filming by the 

Blue Planet production team. The yacht undoubtedly 

benefited from just that one mission, but the fact that 

our oceans benefited from the millions of people 

around the world who were educated, inspired 

and connected with the sea via a superyacht 

water toy is something the industry can be 

proud to be a part of. 

Nicola Breymaier a Charter Broker with Fraser 

who is based in Monaco knows from experience 

the importance of yacht toys when it comes to

toys is important, even more so is the ability for the 

crew to show how to use the toys correctly and make 

the most fun out of each experience.” 

This knowledge is backed up by the team at Ocean 

Premium who are specialists in Toys rental throughout 

the Mediterranean, “Most successful charter yachts 

will have an excellent selection of toys onboard. They are 

seen by the crew as crucial to meeting and surpassing 

the guests’ high expectations for enjoyment.” 

Tamsin Priestley the Director Yacht Charter at Y.CO is 

in no doubt that toys are important and cites the 66.4 

metre Okto from ISA as a perfect example to illustrate 

her point. “She was built to the unique specification 

of an experienced yachtsman,” says Tamsin. “A four 

tender garage was specifically included to house an 

extensive array of toys to keep the guests and the 

Owner’s family active. Water toys are an integral part 

of the Okto experience.” 

MOST SUCCESSFUL CHARTER 

YACHTS WILL HAVE AN 

EXCELLENT SELECTION OF 

TOYS ONBOARD 

Benoit Tréguilly of BIC Sport says, “For the last five 

years, Stand Up Paddles have been the best sellers 

in our product ranges. Guests can use these boards, 

to go cruising around the boat, discover the coastline 

and surf the waves close by the beach. We have guests 

who like to use them to keep fit and practice yoga while 

using them and almost every child we know loves to 

dive into the water from a nice stable platform such 

is the solidity of our board. With our products the 

superyacht becomes the platform from where guests 

practice many different activities, have fun and get 

fit. Guests share activities and have fun with their 

friends, their children, their family without engine noise 

or pollution.”

chartering. She says, “A yacht charter group is 

often made up of varying age groups; friends, family, 

children, grandparents and it is important to keep 

everyone entertained. A yacht’s toy selection is an 

essential tool for the crew to engage the guests and 

offer activities in line with each person’s ability and 

preferences. Younger guests might need to let off 

steam for hours each day and other charter guests 

will return home bursting with the fact they’ve learnt 

a new skill. Those who are not strong swimmers might 

appreciate assistance in making the experience easier 

and the more adventurous guests will often want a 

shot at the latest water sports gimmick, no matter 

how hard they land trying. As much as the variety of

and ended up shaping a culture.

She believes that a good selection of toys on board is 

absolutely essential for family charters. She expounds 

the virtues of the crew on board RoMa who, she says, 

“will ensure that all activities are carried out to the 

highest of safety standards, ensuring parents can relax 

on board in the knowledge that their children are having 

the time of their lives.” She adds,“In a world where 

people are becoming increasingly active, adventurous 

and experience-focussed, a selection of toys such as 

that on board RoMa truly offers a unique opportunity. 

Learning a new skill such as diving and being able to 

take this with you throughout your life leaves a lasting 

impression and creates an unforgettable experience 

for those who charter RoMa.” 

However, even if at first the guests are not initially so 

crazy about toys Ocean Premium says, “A morning with 

our instructor testing our toys will turn him or her into 

an instant enthusiast.” 

Nicola Breymaier at Fraser likes to promote the 83 

metre Here Comes The Sun as a successful charter 

yacht carrying a multitudinous choice of water toys. 

She says,“If a yacht has a wake boat, then it’s the 

wake boat. Not only for towing, skiing and wakeboarding, 

these boats are designed to create a large clean wake 

to enable easy wake surfing with no need for a tow line. 

The boat doesn’t have to go fast to make the wave 

(around 10 knots), so there are no high speed wipeouts 

to worry about; a learner can surf very close to the 

boat in perfect safety and even interact with people 

sitting in the boat as they surf. Offering a real sense 

of achievement, guests aged 7 to 70 have learned and 

loved this activity time and time again.” 

“The latest, hottest toy right now is the yacht Blob 

Bounce.” So says Jacqui Lockhart, a Retail Charter 

Broker with Camper & Nicholsons in Monaco. “It is,” 

she says, “new to the market right now but will surely 

be the next hottest toy. The Jetpack and flyboard are 

a big attraction but many guests still like the freedom 

to use waverunners and we are lucky that many of our 

yachts are RYA Centres for training guests to use 

the yacht’s personal watercraft. Nicola Breymaier with 

Fraser believes, “It’s all about the Flyboard. This is the 

setup that uses the jet from a PWC to allow the user 

to hover in the air. Using a Flyboard requires quite 

a high skill level and guests need to be trained by a 

crewmember, but it offers a fantastic photo op when 

they get it right (and when they don’t)!” 

When it comes to these, Mako Boardsports it seems, 

have got the answer. Combining the power of a 

traditional watercraft with elements taken from the 

surf and wakeboarding world. Alexander Chittock from 

Mako Board Sports tells us,“The Mako Slingshot is 

the next generation jetboard - a quick and agile carbon 

fibre surfboard, complete with the right combination of 

sophisticated technology and sleek design aesthetic. Built 

from an insatiable thirst for the ultimate of experiences 

to escape the everyday, the Mako Slingshot is the must 

have toy for those that love being out on the water. 

Easy to ride, easy to stow, and with excellent customer 

service and support, it’s easy to own.” 

BIC SPORT 

As the world market leader in the field of windsurfing for over 20 

years, BIC Sport has diversified into the manufacture of surf boards,

PETER DIVING 

The PETER Diving System® is the ultimate 

water toy for yachts. A surface supply diving 

system which blurs the boundary between 

scuba and snorkelling allowing for easy access to the exploration 

of the underwater world. A lightweight multi-user device designed 

by naval architects and using carbon fibre technology this system is 

safe and simple to use. Ideal for entertaining families and on board 

guests the PETER Yacht System also serves as a useful tool for crew 

to perform underwater maintenance. Having certified technology 

(CE) plus training (ISO)for crew and owners means all liability is 

covered by yacht insurances, including those regarding charter 

guests. Dive with PETER, dive the easy way! 


or visit www.peterdiving.com 


For guests who want to stay in the water rather than 

ride over the top, there is the SeaBob, a small machine 

that tows you through the water, underwater and gives 

a great new dimension to snorkelling. The latest version 

of these is much lighter and more manageable than the 

original, allowing guests to use them without assistance 

and even take them to the beach. For Gabriella Richardson 

with Camper & Nicholsons, it is the jetsurf that is the 

new innovative product that is currently proving very 

popular, and RoMa has one on board for guests to use. 

She says, “Half jet-ski, half wakeboard, the jetsurf is 

perfect for adrenaline seekers and was developed by a 

team of automotive Formula 1 engineers. Capable of 

reaching a top speed of 55 km/ hour, the jetsurf has 

gained an incredible amount of momentum worldwide, 

and international competitions have developed.” 

Charter Broker Nicola Breymaier with Fraser thinks 

the trend is moving away from the motorised toys, 

and is probably moving more towards bigger and better 

inflatable creations such as towers, or the Jungle Joe 

2. She comments, “Relatively simple for crew to set 

up and contrary to the original inflatable slide that 

needed to be attached to the upper 

deck of a yacht, these simply float off 

the back of the swim platform neatly 

out of the way. There is the ‘Blob’ the 

inflatable catapult toy and inflatable climbing 

walls, as well as long inflatable splash mats that offer 

hours of fun to energised kids; big and small. For guests 

less inclined to get into the water or who might be 

a little daunted in the face of the open ocean at the 

stern of a yacht, these inflatable kingdoms can act as 

a soft stepping stone to the big blue. Some guests 

even prefer to wait until the kids are done so they can 

go and sit in the shady spot under the slide and enjoy 

a cocktail or two!” 

Stacy Moss with Camper & Nicholsons, Fort Lauderdale 

states that while the core toys such as SeaBobs, 

paddleboards, towable inflatables and snorkeling equipment 

will always be popular and will always need to be readily 

available the demands on storage on board is becoming 

a determining factor. As the demand for larger toys 

increases, storage is becoming more and more important.

NAUTIBUOY MARINE 

NautiBuoy Marine specialises in a modular system of inflatable platforms 

and docks. One of the most popular combinations are two platforms 

that can be connected in a T-Shape configuration to create the perfect 

Jet ski dock. With each platform having 4 x 40 litre ballast bags on 

the underside, the Jet ski dock has 8 ballast bags in total making it 

incredibly stable. As it is in two sections, it is easy to store and can also 

be configured as an L-shape tender bay, a long run way or with the 

platforms side by side to make a large area for relaxation. With the New 

modular addition, the C-Dock for Seabobs, the ideal watersports centre is 

quick and easy to achieve, protecting the toys and the yacht and making 

the toys easy to access for guests and crew.

The team at Ocean Premium says, “The entire Seabob 

range will always be popular but recently we’ve seen a 

demand for the Radinn G2X electric powerboard which 

is perfect for the thrill seekers on board and we’re 

looking forward to introducing the Zapata Flyride this 

season as well.” 

Jacqui Lockhart in Monaco agrees,“Storage space is often 

a problem and the choice of toys is decided according 

to the owner’s preferences. Only the largest yachts 

can accommodate the largest selection of toys so we 

are lucky to be able to rent all the latest toys via some 

great suppliers located in strategic charter locations.” 

Gabriella Richardson believes that, larger toys can often 

be difficult to carry due to space limitations, but can 

be rented on a daily basis during a charter. These can 

include aviation equipment, helicopters, sea ray planes, 


multiple tenders, bicycles, fitness equipment and even 

Triton submarines.

Deramar is a growing company specialising in the

adaptable and insist on delivering on time without 

compromise when it comes to quality and safety. 

Agis Raptis says, “By renting toys from Deramar 

superyacht Captains pick their toys before every 

charter depending on the client’s wants and needs. 

There are so many toys available in our range that no 

single yacht could actually fit them all on board.” He 

adds, “Seabobs have been the all time best sellers, 

however, Jetsurf a surfboard with a small 17hp engine 

inside it is becoming more and more popular the last 

couple of years. And without doubt this is now overtaking 

the Seabob to become one of our best sellers when it 

comes to toys for superyachts.”

Allowing Captains to bring different toys on board for the 

various charter guests is a vital element of successful 

chatering. Ocean Premium’s ‘Toys On Demand’ service 

allows yachts to rent the requested toys and equipment 

per charter without the worry of storage and larger 

financial commitments. “At the same time,” they say, 

“it provides an invaluable trial period for them to see 

the potential fit for the owner and yacht, and also to 

learn how to operate the toy.” 

“The trend is,” Y.CO’s Tamsin Priestley says, “towards 

more smaller toys rather than larger more expensive 

ones. Top of the list is perhaps the Hoverboard of which 

Okto carries one ZR from Zapata.” She adds, “SUPs 

remain hugely popular and a must-have for all charter 

guests, floating assault courses are top of the list for 

our younger charterers.” 


Other ways to use paddles include kayaks and canoes. 

Gero Priebe from Hobie Kayak Europe explains, “Hobie´s 

MirageDrive is a hands-free, pedal propulsion system 

which is similar to the technique of ‘sculling’ as in 

dinghies for example, it makes pedalling a kayak as 

easy as you like, but can deliver amazing speed with 

little effort due to its twisting fins. Any kayak equipped 

with this propulsion system can be used for a variety 

of different reasons. Not just for the fun of it or 

combined with our Tandem Island Sailing Kayak to go 

for a sail and explore the shoreline but also to use it 

as a tender to land on a nearby beach or to use it as 

a platform for diving and fishing.”

If you speak Danish or Dutch you will know the word for 

a canoe is an Onak. What you might not know is that 

when spelled backwards Onak is the barnd name of an 

innovative and foldable origami canoe. Nele Braux at 

Onak tells us, “Because of its innovative new composite 

material, the boat is extremely durable, very sturdy, 

fast and lightweight. This combined with its sleek 

design makes it the perfect additional toy on bigger 

boats.” The toy is catching on fast mostly because 

of the ease of storing it on board. It’s easy to set-up 

taking just 15 minutes and once afloat it is very swift 

when paddling across the surface. Weighing just 17 

kg, it can carry 250kg meaning that about 3 people 

or 2 people with luggage can be safely transported. 

As to which toy gets used each and every charter, 

Tamsin Priestley suggests, “For family charters, it is 

always the trampoline, Aquaguide jungle gym, floating 

island and runway that provide huge fun and copious 

amounts of exercise for everyone. Tired children and 

happy parents go a long way towards making one 

charter a success and bringing back the guests for 

a second round.”

also has an inflatable Jetski Dock which is the perfect 

mooring for the 2 Jetskis. This floating, inflatable dock 

makes getting on and off the Jetskis easily accessible

Gabriella Richardson says RoMa is the yacht for those

Scuba Centre ever to be featured on a charter yacht. 

The on board PADI dive school offers dive courses and 

supervised recreational dive activities with the highest 

of safety standards. Her on board PADI school makes 

her the perfect charter yacht for families with children 

looking to become a qualified diver whilst enjoying the

Scuba Diving Trainer, and four other crew members are 

also qualified PADI dive masters. The yacht’s crew really 

are full of adventure, and this coupled with her extensive 

selection of toys on board, makes her perfect for families 

seeking fun and an experience they will never forget. The 

toy list includes the ever more popular jetsurf, flyboard, 

2 3-person jet-skis, a Yamaha stand up waverunner, 3 

seabobs and a 27m water slide which can be attached 

to the side of the yacht when at anchor. To top it off, 

RoMa is a RYA PWC Certified Training Centre which 

means a jet-ski licence can be issued for full use and 

enjoyment of the toys.” 

More underwater fun can be had using a device invented by 

José Escaño Roepstorff. Blurring the boundary between 

snorkelling and scuba diving the Peter Diving unit devised 

by José Escaño Roepstorff is an ideal underwater fun 

solution for yachts. Think of it as a system for multiuser 

diving that supplies air from the surface for a safe, 

easy and comfortable diving experience without the 

need for divers to carry tanks on their backs or wear 

cumbersome buoyancy jackets or BCDs. A carbon fibre 

air filled tank is towed behind the swimmers which makes 

it much more lightweight and increases the amount 

of air available to the divers by 50%. This means the 

crew has an easier time manouvering the kit while the 

guests are entertained for longer in the safest and 

easiest way of diving. 

José Escaño Roepstorff says “It makes the divemaster’s 

life much easier; they have much less equipment to 

maintain and to keep on board. Beginners can try diving 

for the first time without having to have lengthy briefings 

regarding BCDs and carrying heavy tanks on their backs. 

Also the crew can easily use the PETER Diving 

System for regular prop or hull maintenance 

or emergencies such as fouled props or 

stuck anchors. The float and tank 

can even stay on board so that 

the diver is still tethered to 

the boat while they work.

WingsAndMore make and 

sell underwater scooters 

to the military and have 

recently started selling 


their Twin-Scooter that is they say Safe, user-optimised 

and easy to maintain. Tobias Schmidt at WingsAndMore 

tells us, “Details make the difference. This is exactly 

what the Carbon Scooter MONO, DUO and TWIN series 

scooters provide for both recreational and technical diving. 

All of the scooter surfaces have been optimised using 

hydrodynamic flow simulations to optimise performance. 

Also, the new downsized and optimised electronics use 

fail-proof components that ensure peace of mind for 

the user.” 

For other yachts, small underwater toys are not enough 

and for them, only the best-selling model in the current 

Triton Submarines range will do. The record-breaking TS- 

3300/3, is a remarkable submersible capable of conveying 

three-persons in total comfort and safety to a depth of 

1,000m. No other submersible company has produced 

a leisure craft certified to operate at that depth, but 

Triton is proud to have just delivered its eighth unit of 

this model and the ninth 1,000m Triton certified by DNV- 

GL or ABS. No other submersible company has come 

close to delivering eight units in a single model series.

Triton has a rigorous and extensive development 

programme with several projects currently under 

development and in build. Of these it will deliver this 

year, Project Neptune, the result of a close collaboration 

with the prestigious Aston Martin Design team. Achingly 

beautiful, with increased performance and a luxury interior 

this Special Edition scheduled to debut at the Monaco 

Yacht Show in September will set new standards in the 

luxury submersible sector. 

As with any asset, the individual owner’s intended use of a 

yacht, car, aircraft or property determines the additional 

equipment it is outfitted with. While some yachts are 

designed as a retreat and for the relaxation of the owner, 

their family and guests, others are dedicated platforms 

for exploration, adventure and active participation in 

a variety of activities. This alone demonstrates the 

wonderful versatility of yachts, and the toys they carry 

which are as diverse as the individuals that own them. 

The quest to own bigger and better toys continues. 

Ashore the retail chain selling toys to children, might 

be in financial trouble but at sea the opposite seems 

to be very true and when it comes to superyachts it is 

very much a case of Toys R Us. 

FREESTYLE SLIDES 

Something for Every Client. While many clients enjoy being 

creative and customising their toys, some need them delivered 

within a tight time frame. FreeStyle Slides has those customers 

covered as well. The company recently introduced the Cruiser 

FLEX, an adjustable inflatable slide. The Cruiser FLEX is available in 

base heights ranging from 4-9 metres and can be adjusted up to 1.5 

meters higher than the base height. The FLEX slide is flag blue and 

white and clients have the option of adding their logo. There are slides 

in stock right now for those last minute Mediterranean orders.

BETTER CONNECTED 

The NautiBuoy Marine Platform was designed and created by two ex-superyacht crew, 

out of the frustration felt whilst working on medium to large motor and sailing yachts 


NautiBuoy platforms first won recognition after being 

awarded a Gold category prize in the prestigious 

DAME Awards at METS in 2015. A gap in the market 

was spotted for a multi-functional, easy to use, leisure 

and maintenance platform that can be linked together 

in any configuration. 

From the outset the founders wanted to create a range 

of inflatable tools with a wide range of uses with additional 

accessories to enhance capability. The platforms are seen 

as an extension to the yacht, so a faux teak finish was 

added to fit in with the style and lines of any yacht. They 

are also made incredibly stable due to the unique ballast 

system that can be manually emptied before retrieval. 

Due to the modular nature of the 

platforms, instead of having one large 

cumbersome piece of equipment that 

is difficult to handle and store, the 

platforms are quick to inflate and deflate 

(all in under 5 minutes) and can be 

retrieved and stored with short notice, 

which comes in very handy when the 

boss wants to move quickly. 

For the superyachts and larger 

vessels, the platforms can be linked together in endless 

configurations, allowing crew to create beach clubs, jet 

ski docks, tender bays, and long runways and walk ways. 

The Owners, Captains and yacht crew can customise 

their own layouts and offer different shapes depending 

on the activity. 

These configurations make the perfect watersports station 

helping protect the yacht from watersports activity as 

well as the toys themselves. They make the toys more 

accessible for the users and allow crew to offer even 

better hospitality at water level. 

NautiBuoys are truly 

amazing! I have been able 

to create an additional 80 

foot beach club/marina! 

Very exciting!! 

Owner, M/Y OceanClub 

The smaller yachts also benefit from the platforms as they 

effectively allow them to have a much more cost effective 

yacht extension. Phillip Ashworth, a 40ft Atlantis owner 

had the following to say about his new 675 inflatable 

platform- “It’s nearly 8 square metres of entertaining 

space and for the whole summer it was full of ladies or 

children. It is a serious bit of boating brilliance that added 

an invaluable amount of space and fun.” 

In the relentless pursuit for the perfect solution, the 

founders designed the platforms to have the ability to 

transform from a guest ready leisure platform into a solid 

inflatable maintenance tool. Simply add the lightweight, 

non-skid fitted cover for protection and your crew can easily 

clean, varnish, paint and polish and have 

the hull of the yacht looking immaculate. 

They can even still link together if needed 

for those larger yard jobs. 

The smallest platform can be inflated and 

launched in under two minutes and with 

the addition of suction cups with cleats, 

hose holders and collapsible buckets with 

lids that attach to the platforms, crew 

can work around the topsides easily. 

Gone are the days of having to detail 

the tender after a full topside wash down. Specifically 

designed with soft loops and edges, the platforms can 

sit alongside your vessel for days without you having to 

worry about any damage. 

The latest addition to the modular range is the New 

C-Dock, compatible with F5, F5S and F5SR Seabobs. 

These are a drive-in-drive-out solution that prevents the 

repetitive lifting in and out of Seabobs from the water. 

The Seabobs remain in the water whist being safe, secure 

and protected. They can be used on their own, connected 

together or connected to the NautiBuoy platforms. 

One of the popular trends for charterers is to charter 

yachts with ‘beach clubs’ on the stern. Those yachts 

without the actual onboard space can still create this 

facility with the addition of the NautiBuoy platforms. MY 

Ocean Club, who have 12 platforms onboard, make use 

of the versatility and change the configurations to suit 

their requirements on a day to day basis. 

The main ancillary toys of the vessel such as Jet Skis 

and Seabobs, can now all be protected together in one 

watersports station, that’s easy to access and right 

there on the water, ready to go.

1 TRUK LAGOON 

Chuuk State consists of 11 mangrove fringed 

islands in the Chuuk Lagoon, known to 

divers worldwide as Truk Lagoon and a 

further 14 outlying atolls and low islands. 

One of the world’s largest lagoons, Truk is 

enclosed by a 225km barrier reef, covering 

more than 2,000 sq km and is home to 

an entire Japanese fleet that was sunk 

in 1944 – it is a must for wreck divers. 

Frozen in time, complete with sake cups 

and skeletons, jeeps and tanks still tied on 

board and fighter planes still waiting in 

the hangars. Nowhere else in the world are 

there so many wrecks in close proximity 

situated in shallow water.

open up in recent years, this remote 

Atlantic outcrop is now accessible to 

divers, promising endemic species, 

seldom dived shipwrecks and 

aggregations of whale sharks in season 

(December to March) – a real draw 

for lovers of these gentle giants. Until

days from Cape Town. Now, this tiny 

island can be reached by air, providing 

a unique opportunity to discover and 

dive a place that few have ever had the 

chance to visit. There are eight wrecks 

to explore, with green turtles, hawksbill 

turtles and numerous species of dolphin 

found in these waters. Humpback 

whales are also seasonal visitors.

WAKEY 

WAKEY 

THE WET AND WILD COUSIN OF SKATEBOARDING, 

WATERSKIING AND SURFING, WAKEBOARDING IS ONE 

OF THE FASTEST GROWING SPORTS IN THE WORLD 

Wakeboarding like any watersport is 

all about getting out on the water 

and having fun. Arguably the public 

face of wakeboarding is one of a young teen 

dressed in oversized clothing doing nigh on 

impossible flips off a colossal wake, however 

the reality is that wakeboarding can be enjoyed 

by anyone willing to give it a try regardless 

of age or sporting experience, who wants to 

enjoy the thrill and exhilaration of skimming 

over the water whether at sea or on a lake! 

Most people think and 

assume that wakeboarding 

was invented in the U.S, 

but actually it was a 

group from New Zealand 

in the late ‘70s who first 

started experimenting with 

shortened surf boards 

being towed by a boat. Fast 

forward to the mid ‘80s in 

the U.S and the sport now 

known as skurfing is gaining 

popularity, then throughout 

the ‘90s with advancements in board and 

boat design wakeboarding was brought to the 

mainstream, with large sponsors, world and 

national championships and televised events 

across the world. 

Today wakeboarding is one of the fastest growing 

watersports enjoyed at all levels not only behind 

a boat but on the recently and more accessible 

format of the cable tow where an overhead 

cable pulls the rider across the water. 

OK, to get started, whilst there are specifically 

designed boats that produce a perfectly shaped 

wake for tricks and have a higher towing point 

THE LIST OF TRICKS IS 

LITERALLY ENDLESS WITH 

NEW MANOEUVRES BEING 

INVENTED ALL THE TIME 

FROM, 180 DEGREE JUMPS TO 

1080 DEGREE SPINS, BACK 

FLIPS TO DOUBLE BACK FLIPS 

mounted on a tower to achieve better air time. 

The fact is that any boat will suffice during 

the learning period. Plus, being able to pick 

up entry level equipment for the whole family 

for around €300 makes it very accessible. 

Initially the boat speed is kept to a minimum, 

around 31kph and the rope around 16m 

obviously some sort of lesson is best at one 

of the many dedicated wakeboard clubs and 

schools throughout Europe such as ours in 

Cordoba, but if you have 

ever surfed, snowboarded, 

skateboarded or even 

waterskied you will have 

a headstart. Be sure to 

be patient, stay relaxed 

and try not to stand too 

quickly and let the boat 

do the work bringing you 

up and out of the water, 

automatically you’ll work 

out which leg you need 

to put forward left being 

(regular) or right (goofy). 

So from there on the sky is really the limit! 

Progress from gentle wakecrossings to small 

jumps using the peak of the wake as a ramp. 

The list of tricks is literally endless with new 

manoeuvres being invented all the time from, 

180 degree jumps to 1080 degree spins, back 

flips to double back flips all being tweaked to 

include board grabs back landings and a host 

of other mind boggling tricks that defy gravity! 

So get out there give this highly addictive 

sport a go and above all have fun!

water and enjoy time with 

your friends and family for

Chris-Craft Barrelback 

Since the beginning, Christopher Smith crafted the kind of boats 

that dreams are made of. Chris-Craft boats became the cultural 

icons that gave people a new freedom to explore the clear waters 

of local lakes and distant shores. More than any other brand at the 

time, they were responsible for America’s romance with boats, 

and ultimately, for redefining boating pleasure for generations of 

people around the world. 

One of the most sought after models still to this day is the 1941 

Barrelback. The world was embroiled in the beginnings of World 

War II and luxury items were rare. It wouldn’t be until the 1950s 

that discretionary income would return, and Chris-Craft would 

become the boat of means. Stars such as Dean Martin, Katharine 

Hepburn, Frank Sinatra, and Elvis where readily identified with the 

Chris-Craft and the fashionable boating culture in post-war years.
