A luxurious and retro tender for the 200 e birthday
Billing itself as America's oldest shipyard, Hodgdon Yachts, known for its superb superyachts (most notably the 100-foot monohull Comanche) entered the luxury custom tender business in 2011. For its 200 e anniversary, the shipyard presented a 10.5 m limousine tender with retro chic lines and luxurious finishes.
The tender âeuros which is the 422 e hull built by Hogdon Yachts and the 10 e tender since 2011 âeuros was designed by Michael Peters Yacht Design. It is the archetype of the custom tenders of the Venice series, which range from 8.5 m to 12.5 m.
It has a metallic exterior paint job with an optional classy leather interior and a special varnished interior wood. It can carry 11 people comfortably seated on side benches with two large owner's chairs, located at the bottom of the boat. There is also an HD audio-visual system, a refrigerator/bar, and air conditioning. The starboard side windows roll down to reveal a boarding platform.
The entire hard top of the cabin rises for easy boarding and 360° visibility. Much of the stainless steel exterior hardware, including the anchoring elements, was custom designed. Every detail of the layout, including the installation of electrical, mechanical and safety systems, has been completed to create a tender of unparalleled design.
"As superyacht builders, we at Hogdon Yachts are well positioned to bring the building standards of the yachting world to the tender world." said Timothy Hodgdon - President of Hodgdon Yachts.
