The Ultimate Tender - SeaVee Boats

Today’s yachts are getting bigger andbigger. As they do, the wish list thatcrews and owners have for their tenderscontinues to grow as well. These days,a tender is not simply tasked withshuttling passengers to and from shore.Instead, it’s expected to provide theentertainment for all onboard servingas a dive boat, fishing boat, sand barshuttle, and on occasion, tow boat forwakeboarding and waterskiing. Somecrews even expect their tender to do allof this running on diesel, rather thangas.SeaVee knows that the ultimate tender has to be ableto do all of the above – yet still be able to specialize injust one task. That’s why the extent to which our boatscan be customized is perfectly suited for charters andprivately owned yachts.A perfect example is the new trend of expedition styleyachts that are becoming more and more popular. Theseboats are routinely outfitted with a gantry crane, andcarry their tenders onboard – rather than tow thembehind. As a result, SeaVee has developed a perfectlybalanced spread of strategically placed anchor pointsthat make hoisting quick, safe and easy. Just clip in andbefore you know it your SeaVee tender is safely on deckor back in the water – without drama or fuss.Many other crews have no choice but to tow – as theiryachts just don’t have enough space onboard for a 30’plus tender. For this application, SeaVee has developed aspecialized towing plate that distributes the tremendouspulling force evenly across a wider area of the bow.This custom hardware consists of two separate stainlesssteel plates that are through-bolted together – one onthe inside, the other on the outside of the hull, providinga safe and secure anchor point to attach the tow line.121.
