You never get a
second chance to
make a first impression and
the tender is likely be the
guests’ first, last and lasting
impression of the owner’s
luxury superyacht.
a range of limousines and open tenders
using a proven hull, which affords great
seakeeping, a smooth ride and powerful
speed, as the foundation. With an adjustable
transom plant, we can also produce boats
that vary in length and are capable of offering
a multitude of custom deck arrangements.
When we were commissioned to build the
tender for Grace E, a waterjet driven boat,
we worked with leading hull designer, Andrew
Wolstenholme to design our first mould
and he ensured that the hull form was
suitable for both jet and stern drives. One
of Cockwells’ defining strengths is that we
have the flexibility and expertise to offer
clients exactly what they want.
Looking to the future, we have received
numerous enquiries about electric tenders
and it goes without saying that we would
love to produce such a vessel.
However, our detailed research and in-depth
review of sea trial data concludes that for an
electric boat to be a success, the limitation
of range needs to be accepted by the crew.
This requires careful planning in terms of
how the tender will be used, which can be
challenging and a step into the unknown.
It would also help if the cruising speed
requirement could be lowered because you
can travel all day in comfort at 12 knots
from the same amount of power required
for an hour at 20 knots.
