Make some space in the superyacht tender garage for these picks.
Looking for a new tender for your superyacht? While most guests are impressed by the mothership, it’s still important to make a good impression with the tender too. Investing in a new tender eases crew life and amplifies the guest experience. Check out Triton’s four picks.
Axopar 29
Launched this year as the successor to the Axopar 28, the A29 is available in a cabin or sun top version. Improvements on the previous version include redefined hydrodynamics, a more fluid and less angular hull, and a higher and more pronounced bow flair, allowing greater protection from the elements in rough weather conditions. The bow also includes a new multi-cabin area that can serve as an under-deck storage area for gear or luggage, can be extended to include an optional freshwater toilet and sink, or is large enough to turn into a sleeping cabin for two. The A29 is 29-feet long, can fit up to nine people on board, reaches a max cruising speed of 37 knots, and has 200 nautical miles of range.
Technohull’s Alpha 40
The 12.1-meter Alpha 40 is Technohull’s latest in their long-standing tender series. With room for 12 passengers on board, the Alpha 40 is fit to transport guests to and from yachts while offering max comfort as well. A spacious deck layout keeps guest relaxation in mind while allowing different configurations. The various guest zones on board can be changed to include a small sunbed or a sunpad too. The vessel’s carbon hardtop arcs over the helm area, offering protection from wind, spray, and sun while underway and at anchor. The Alpha 40 has a spacious cabin below with a shower for convenience and 1.85 meters of headroom. Alpha 40 offers engine options up to twin 500-horsepower outboards with 800-liter fuel capacity.
Monte Carlo Offshore 30
The Monte Carlo Offshore 30 (MC30) is back, 52 years after the original model’s introduction. The original model proved a huge success with 343 built, making the task to update quite the undertaking. “It was quite a challenge to work on — it’s a bit like redesigning the Porsche 911!” said Carlo Nuvolari, co-founder of Nuvolari Lenard and key designer of the MC30. With a top speed of 54 knots, overall length of 9.3 meters, fuel capacity of 500 liters, and the ability to fit seven people on board, the MC30 turns heads as a tender while still offering comfort for guests.
