I WANT ONE 

OF THOSE 

Guy Mannering is a broker with Cecil Wright and has nearly 

two decades of experience as a charter Captain. With an 

in-depth knowledge of the logistical requirements of large 

yacht operation and ownership, Guy is well placed to offer 

his opinion on his all time favourite tenders and toys 

BEST LOOKING TENDER VANQUISH VQ55 

It’s like Van Dutch and Wajer made a baby and what a beauty. Just 

stunning to drive and you can always guarantee an exquisite build 

quality from Northern Europe. They’re also fairly uncommon so a real 

head turner. I drove one a few years ago, but the newer VQ55 Sportline 

has a stepped hull to add lift and reduce friction. This in combination 

with five Mercury V12s, the speed can reach up to 70 knots. Also 

available with twin Nanni N16 1200 hp (V8) inboard diesels and 

waterjets, giving top speed of 50 knots. All too often the final detailing 

on larger tenders gets ignored, but I was thoroughly impressed. A 

miniature superyacht through and through. 


BEST TENDER DRIVEN FJORD 42 OPEN 

became familiar with this perfect and indestructible tender while 

I working aboard the infamous Gene Machine. The Volvo Penta IPS 

pod-drive propulsion system with joystick control makes close quarter 

manoeuvring literally child’s play. The standard IPS500 delivers top 

speeds of 34 knots or you can upgrade to the IPS600 to deliver 

40knots. There’s plenty of cabin space, easily fast enough, hydraulic 

swim platform, huge fuel tanks, creating a great surfing wave. This 

vessel is a thoroughbred powerboat, yet it offers the perfect place to 

relax and enjoy life on the open water. I could go on but I’d use up my 

word count. 

MONEY NO OBJECT 

RIVA AQUARAMA 

Recently celebrating their 60th anniversary, many 

have tried and failed to produce such a timeless 

classic. Production of it and its derivatives (the Lungo, 

Super, and Special) ran from 1962 until 1996. The 

hull was based on the Riva Tritone, an earlier model 

speedboat by Riva, which in turn was inspired by the 

American mahogany Chris-Craft runabouts. The boat’s 

speed, beauty, and craftsmanship earned it praise as 

the Ferrari of the boat world. The Riva Aquarama’s 

hull was sheathed in mahogany and varnished to 

accentuate the beauty of its natural wood grain. All 

versions were twin engined, with top speeds of 45/50 

knots depending on engine choice. Power varied 

from 185 hp to 400 hp per engine, delivered by Riva 

‘tuned’ Cadillac and Chrysler models, among others. 

An obvious choice to appear on the silver screen, 

the Aquarama has made appearances driven by 

Xenia Onatopp in the Bond movie GoldenEye, and 

a Special is piloted by Vincent Cassel in the movie 

Ocean’s Twelve. Occasionally I’ll be inspecting an 

enormous yacht where the owner has space to simply 

hang one of these for display purposes only, perfectly 

maintained, never driven, varnished and polished to a 

mirror finish.. a thing of beauty.

BEST GENERAL PURPOSE TENDER WILLIAMS DIESELJET 625 

The humble Williams Jet Tender never receives enough credit in 

my opinion. However, there are obviously a few other advocates 

as in 2021 they launched their 10,000th tender. The colour scheme is 

totally customisable, they’re ideal for beach landings in the Bahamas, 

they’re an absolute pleasure to drive and perfect for watersports, with 

smooth, powerful acceleration and high-speed manoeuvring. Plus, the 

rubber sponsons allow you to leave the junior deckhand to refuel from 

the mothership without worrying about your paintwork. The range of 

vessels on offer is vast and growing so there is always a Williams that 

will fit nicely within your current line up. 

BEST TOY CUDAJET 

The World’s First Underwater Jetpack, 

need I say more? It was developed 

by British underwater enthusiast Archie 

O’Brien while he was in his final year at 

Loughborough Design School. Among 

other things, he wanted to create a 

system that was lighter and faster than 

existing products. The CudaJet is the final 

commercial version of what he envisioned. 

A hardwired handheld trigger-style remote 

is used to control the speed. The jetpack 

can be used down to a maximum depth 

of 40 metres and delivers 40 kg of thrust, 

reportedly taking the wearer to a top speed 

of 3 metres per second. Sadly, I have yet to 

personally test this device, but extremely 

excited to receive an invitation at the next 

yacht show, hint hint.

A SAFER 

CREW & 

YACHT 

Peter Watson from DG Maritime 

discusses the importance of continued 

professional development and bringing 

new training modules to the industry 

and specifically the latest Lithium-ion 

battery firefighting course 

In 2022 a client asked me a question about a specific make of 

fire extinguisher for use on Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery fires. The 

first action was to carry out some research on the extinguishers 

and the one major concern I had, involved a crew member having 

to be within one and a half to two metres of the fire to apply the 

contents of the extinguisher. After discussions with my fellow 

training associates, we realised there may have to be a change 

in the firefighting procedures we teach when dealing with Li-ion 

battery fires. 

The other area of concern was for mariners who carry out their 

initial International Convention on Standards of Training Certification 

and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) for basic and advanced 

firefighting. They have to do updating training every five years 

at a shore based maritime firefighting school and for some, this 

means waiting a long period of time before they had any continuing 

professional development (CPD) training on the issues of Li-ion 

battery fires. 

Believing there was a training need and to ensure that mariners 

have CPD, we decided to develop an online training module that 

the whole crew could attend. This included those that were off 

on rotation as they could remotely log in to the training. By doing 

this, we could update crews about the issue more quickly than 

waiting for their STCW updating training. 

During the development of the course, the Maritime Coastguard 

Agency (MCA) released the draft of “MGN 681(M) - Fire safety and 

storage of small electric powered craft on yachts” for consultation. 

We took the opportunity to be involved in the consultation which 

allowed us to feedback such things as the proximity to the fire 

a crew member would need to be in order to try and extinguish 

the fire with a handheld fire extinguisher. 

We felt it was important to wait until MGN 681(M) was published 

before launching the training programme, thus ensuring there 

were no discrepancies between the MGN and what we planned 

to teach. 

We eventually launched the training at the end of August 2023 with 

twelve of our clients taking up the training between September 

and December of the same year. 

The rationale behind our training is to ensure the safe handling, 

storage and operation of Li-ion batteries including safe firefighting 

procedures to deal with the problem. 

Li-ion batteries can pose fire and explosion risks if mishandled 

or damaged. Appropriate training helps individuals understand 

the risks and teaches how to mitigate them thereby enhancing 

overall safety. By educating crew members on best practices 

for li-ion battery handling, our training reduces the likelihood of 

accidents and incidents that could result in a serious incident, 

injury or even fatalities. 

This online training can be accessed from anywhere with an internet 

connection, allowing the whole crew to attend the training, whether 

they’re on the yacht, on shore leave or at home. It also eliminates 

the need for travel expenses associated with attending a fire 

school or bringing trainers onboard. 


Online training ensures that all crew members receive the same 

standardised information and instruction, promoting consistency 

in safety protocols and procedures across the entire crew. 

For the learning outcomes of the training course, we thought it was 

important that students understand the following areas: 

• The salient points of MGN 681(M) in relation to firefighting 

procedures, in particular the extreme dangers of the products 

of combustion from a Li-ion battery fire and the dangers that 

can be encountered post incident when carrying out clean up 

of the fire compartment. 

• The basic principles and components of how a Li-ion battery 

works, including the different types of batteries that can be found 

on the market. 

• Care and maintenance of Li-ion batteries ensuring that manufacturer’s 

instructions are always followed. 

• The causes of ‘thermal runaway’ and how propagation throughout 

a Li-ion battery develops. 

• The constituents of the products of combustion and the dangers 

to life they present to crew should they inhale these products 

of combustion. 

• The advantages and disadvantages of the handheld firefighting 

equipment for dealing with Li-ion battery fires and other types 

of fire suppressors. 

• How fixed firefighting systems perform during a Li-ion battery fire. 

• Recommended firefighting techniques for both internally and 

externally on the vessel. 

• Fire investigation and post incident considerations. 

“The rationale behind our training is to 

ensure the safe handling, storage and 

operation of Li-ion batteries including 

safe firefighting procedures.” 

Due to the rapid growth in Li-ion battery usage there is an increasing 

likelihood of encountering a Li-ion battery fire. This Li-ion battery 

fire training raises the awareness of the risks associated with 

Li-ion batteries. 

Fighting Li-ion battery fires requires specialised knowledge and 

techniques due to the unique characteristics of these batteries. 

Training ensures responders are equipped with the necessary 

skills to mitigate such incidents safely. 

Overall, Li-ion battery fire training is essential for ensuring the 

safety of individuals, property, and the environment in the face 

of the growing prevalence of Li-ion battery technology. 

The Li-ion Battery training is just one course in the portfolio of 

courses we provide at Da Gama Maritime. We have a team of five 

training associates, all of whom have expertise in maritime firefighting 

training with knowledge gained from careers as professional 

firefighters and almost 150 years of service between them.

YOUR GREEN 

CHARGING SOLUTION 

Aqua superPower continues to revolutionise the 

yachting industry with the deployment of onboard 

charging systems for electric tenders and toys 

ADVERTORIAL 

Superyacht and yacht owners are 

increasingly turning to electric tender 

boats as a cleaner and more sustainable 

alternative to liquid fuel-powered vessels. This 

shift is not only driven by a desire to protect 

the environment but also by advancements in 

electric propulsion technology that make electric 

tenders a viable and efficient option. 

Global marine fast charge network operator Aqua 

superPower is the first company to design and 

install charging facilities onboard a superyacht, 

enabling both high powered and lower powered 

DC charging of electric tenders. Through a 

bespoke system architecture, Aqua superPower’s 

onboard charging solution is characterised by 

its flexibility, allowing yacht and superyacht 

owners to opt for DC high-powered charging 

both onboard the ship in the tender storage 

area or externally alongside. 

The new system provides two 30 kW charge 

points within the garage and two 120 kW charge 

points when the electric tenders are alongside the 

mothership. This is complemented by landside 

support from the Aqua network, offering a fully 

connected back-office function and 24/7 customer 

support. 

One key feature of Aqua superPower’s system is 

the adoption of the CCS protocol for connectors, 

facilitating two-way communication between the 

electric tender and the yacht. This connectivity 

provides an additional layer of safety by allowing 

real-time monitoring of crucial parameters such 

as battery temperature, state of charge, and 

other data through the boat’s dashboard. This 

proactive approach ensures optimal performance 

and safety during the charging process. 

The system Aqua superPower delivered includes 

a number of high-power waterside locations for 

charging the electric tenders during high demand 

periods and extended use. The system utilises a 

novel power management system that allocates 

the capacity to the location that demands it. It 

can simultaneously charge the electric tenders 

on different allocated waterside areas of the 

mothership. 

The tender garage, a perfect location for charging 

while the yacht is underway or overnight, offers 

convenience and efficiency. This approach aligns 

with the diverse needs of yacht owners, catering 

to activities such as watersports, VIP pickups, 

grocery runs, and general yacht servicing. 

Continuous advancements in electric propulsion 

technology have played a pivotal role in making 

electric tenders more powerful, reliable, and 

efficient. Modern electric motors, coupled with 

high-capacity batteries, now offer performance 

levels that rival traditional fuel-powered vessels. 

Concerns about range and power have been 

effectively addressed, bolstering the appeal of 

electric propulsion in the marine industry. 

Perhaps the most compelling reason for the shift 

towards electric tenders is a shared commitment 

among yacht owners and industry players to act 

as responsible stewards of the environment. 

With concerns about climate change and marine 

pollution escalating, adopting electric tenders 

is a proactive measure to reduce the industry’s 

carbon footprint and minimise ecological impact. 

The integration of onboard electric tender 

charging systems marks a significant milestone in 

this evolution and Aqua superPower’s pioneering 

solutions not only address the practicalities of 

charging but also ensure a positive impact on 

the high-end segment of yachting. 

As electric tenders continue to evolve and gain 

prominence, Aqua superPower’s intelligent marine 

fast charging solutions will undoubtedly play a 

pivotal role in shaping the future of maritime 

transportation, steering the industry towards 

a more sustainable and eco-friendlier horizon.

RIBCAT 

Lightweight, extremely stable, emission-free: 

these are the key features of the new Ribcat 

tenders. With the catamaran RIB, Yachtwerft 

Hamburg offers an innovative tender for owners 

of large motor and sailing yachts. Tenders are 

often a problem when equipping large yachts. On 

sailing yachts, the size and weight of tenders are 

often detrimental to performance; motor yacht 

owners prefer stable tenders that lie well in the 

water and are also compact enough to fit in the 

yacht’s garage. Johannes Malzahn, Managing 

Director of Yachtwerft Hamburg and its new 

Ribcat brand, says: “Finding the right tender for 

a large motor or sailing yacht is a challenge for 

many owners or their captains. That’s why we 

decided to make life a little easier for them and 

develop our Ribcat tenders.” Ribcat tenders 

are made of carbon composite, are tailored to 

the needs of owners of large yachts and weigh 

just 170 kilograms at a length of 3.65 metres 

and 230 kilograms at a length of 4.30 metres. 

They are available with both electric drives and 

conventional outboards at the stern.

ELECTRIC TRUST 

An exceptional user experience, state of 

the art product design, engineering, and 

technology for marine products of the future 

RAD Propulsion introduces its first electric drive system, 

the RAD 40, a radically different outboard for ribs and 

powerboats designed from the ground up by a team of 

expert engineers. The stylish and lightweight drive with intuitive 

operating features stands out from the crowd. 

The RAD 40 has a super compact and lightweight form factor. 

This maximises space onboard and ensures seamless integration 

for boat builders. The low profile and attractive styling means 

there are no protrusions into the vessel over the transom, even 

when fully tilted upwards. 

It comes complete with a drive-by-wire control system for easy 

installation. With the option of adding RAD batteries in different 

sizes to suit usage requirements, customers have the full turnkey 

solution from purchase. 

RAD 40 KEY PRODUCT BENEFITS 

• Compact - smaller than its conventional equivalent and 

designed so that the motor doesn’t intrude onto the vessel’s 

deck space. The outboard remains behind the transom when 

tilted up. 

• Accurate - exceptional control and manoeuvrability with full 

drive-by-wire controls and 180 degrees of steering available. 

Forget worrying about a tight berth on a windy day. 

• Quiet - less noisy than internal combustion engines enabling 

you to immerse yourself in the environment around you. 

• Reliable - works every time and requires minimal maintenance, 

making dodgy fuel gauges and clogged filters a thing of the 

past. 

• Efficient - reduced running costs when compared to fossil fuel 

powered systems and ready for use wherever and whenever 

you need it. 

• Ease of installation - its lightweight and neat form makes 

installation a breeze. No requirement for external steering gear 

and connections. 

TESTING AND MORE TESTING 

At RAD, our product engineering goes above and beyond the 

standard when it comes to testing. We are constantly putting 

the RAD 40 through its paces checking out performance at 

extreme temperatures and undertaking 50 times gravity drop 

tests. This coupled with due diligence around the most up-to-date 

and rigorous safety standards makes the RAD 40 the superior 

choice for both commercial and leisure users. 

In terms of safety the RAD proprietary throttle lever has a mechanical 

lock that prevents the drive being accidentally engaged when 

stationary which is a common concern among boat users where 

the silence of an electric motor doesn’t act as a natural warning. 

The highly responsive fully digital RAD throttle provides precise 

control in every situation. It features a neutral safety mechanism, 

illuminated tilt and trim buttons and is included as standard. 

The RAD 40 has our drive-by-wire steering wheel with force 

feedback with variable resistance - this helps mimic the feel of 

a traditional mechanical steering system. 

RAD’s customers include RS Electric Boats, Valkama in Finland, 

Hyrex in Norway and Stephens Waring Boat Design in the US.

DESIGNER TIMES 

ONBOARD talks to the design office of Yachtwerft Meyer to discover the design 

process that enables them to achieve impressive, timeless and elegant tenders 

and equipment – year after year and what the future holds for the company 

In the world of superyachts and their tenders, 

where luxury and innovation go hand in hand, 

Yachtwerft Meyer has established itself as 

one of the leading names. For almost 30 years, 

this renowned company has been known for its 

exquisite tender boats, perfectly tailored to the 

needs of superyachts and their clients. But what 

makes Yachtwerft Meyer so special? 

One key lies in their young and innovative design 

team, constantly setting new standards and 

redefining the boundaries of modern tender 

construction. Today, we are speaking with the 

Head Designer of the company, Martin Jünemann. 

The design office of Yachtwerft Meyer is one of 

the cornerstones of the company, a place where 

creativity, passion, and technical know-how come 

together. The design team is characterised by 

its unwavering dedication to innovation. Led by 

designer Martin Jünemann and his team, Lennart 

Jerrentrup & Elias Sternberg, the design office 

has contributed to the company’s high reputation 

for innovative solutions and outstanding designs 

of the highest quality. 

Another key core to the success of the design 

office lies in its close collaboration with talented 

engineers and boat builders in-house. Through 

continuous dialogue and exchange of ideas, 

unique and innovative solutions are developed 

that exceed expectations and set new standards. 

A central focus of the design office is the 

development of tender boats for superyachts. 

They must not only meet the highest standards in 

terms of design and luxury but also be practical 

and functional. The team at Yachtwerft Meyer has 

made it their mission to meet this challenge with 

excellence and to meet every customer’s needs. 

The portfolio is impressively diverse, with a wide 

range of designs ranging from open tenders to 

luxurious limousines and catamarans, all tailored 

to the mother ship, reflecting the personality 

and style of its owner. 

What are the specific challenges and differences 

in the design process for both the semi-custom 

and full-custom sectors? 

In the realm of design, particularly in the Full- 

Custom segment, we engage extensively with 

customers’ preferences during the planning phase, 

striving for the best outcome and innovative 

solutions through collaboration. We tailor the 

design specifically to the mothership, taking 

into account factors such as passenger count, 


The portfolio is impressively 

diverse, with a wide range 

of designs ranging from 

open tenders to luxurious 

limousines and catamarans, 

all tailored to the mother ship 

layout, and interior requirements. Additionally, 

we pay attention to climate, lighting, stabilizers, 

propulsion, fuel consumption, weight distribution, 

garage space, and ingress/egress. 

Consequently, construction times for Full-Custom 

projects are typically longer, whereas our Semi- 

Custom lines offer shorter turnaround times by 

utilising a base design adaptable to various 

equipment configurations. We offer both open 

(chase boats) and enclosed boats, allowing for 

different layouts and lengths despite sharing 

the same foundation. In the Semi-Custom realm, 

we now cover a range from 6.5 to 12 metres. 

Our in-house design team oversees the entire 

construction process, from initial drawings to 

fabrication, maintaining continuous communication 

with clients. 

Across our semi-custom and full custom offerings, 

our products set a high standard for quality and 

provide an exclusive waterborne experience akin 

to a private jet for maritime adventures. 

A look at their latest creation, the Impetus series, 

reveals a wealth of innovative design elements 

that delight the eye and enhance functionality. 

From distinctive lines to custom materials – every 

detail is carefully considered and tailored to the 

specific requirements of the customer. 

Where did you get the inspirations for the 

outstanding design? What distinguishes the 

series? 

The garages on superyachts are increasingly 

providing space for larger boats. For us, it was 

therefore the logical step to develop a line ranging 

from 10.5 to 12 metres. The name “Impetus” 

aptly describes the intention of this product 

line - it stands for drive, forward movement, 

and dynamism. This line distinguishes itself 

from the classic-elegant segment and presents 

itself as sportier, more impulsive, and modern. 

Nevertheless, one of our main goals was to 

ensure the timelessness of the design. In this 

new concept, we have attempted to implement 

some expansions and innovations, including 

lighting concepts, stabilizers, an electric bathing 

platform, a digital interface, and other features. 

As tender builders, our main focus is always on 

ensuring that the product harmonises well with 

the mothership, the superyacht. However, the

IMPETUS - a new line of semicustom 

open and limousine 

tenders ranging from 10.5 -12m 

Yachtwerft Meyer, with its 

young and innovative team, 

has proven that continuous 

advancement is the key to 

success 

Impetus series also opens up new opportunities 

in the chase market - boats that either accompany 

the superyacht or can be used independently 

for day trips, fully autonomous and equipped 

with all comforts.“ 

However, innovation for the design office of 

Yachtwerft Meyer doesn’t just mean exploring 

new paths in design, but also placing a stronger 

emphasis on sustainability and environmental 

awareness. With a strong commitment to 

advancing the use of eco-friendly materials 

and sustainable production processes, the team 

contributes to the endeavor of shaping the future 

of the yacht industry sustainably. 

What does the future hold for tender design, 

specifically for Yachtwerft Meyer? 

In recent years, the demand in the tender market 

has significantly increased, both in terms of 

requirements and the variety of usage options. 

Catamarans have taken an important place in the 

market, as well as open boats and limousines 

focusing on utility demands. There is a growing 

emphasis on details and comfort, with stabilizers 

now becoming standard. 

Electric and foiling concepts have already been 

developed by us to meet the needs of a new 

customer base. Whereas in the past, tenders 

were often seen as small, inconspicuous dinghies, 

today it is expected that they meet the standards 

of highly technologically advanced superyachts. 

A significant milestone in our development and 

transformation was joining the Zodiac Milpro 

Group last year. The decades-long experience 

of the company and its specific expertise in the 

construction and development of utility boats 

create a connection between both worlds. This 

opens up new opportunities for Yachtwerft Meyer 

and marks the beginning of the development of 

new products and concepts in close collaboration 

with Zodiac Milpro and Hurricane. 

The upcoming change through artificial 

intelligence seems unavoidable. What influence 

do you think artificial intelligence will have on 

the design and construction process? 

Artificial intelligence is significantly changing the 

design process and the role of the designer. For 

me, however, it should primarily be seen as a 

helpful tool that quickly provides new solutions 

and approaches that can be integrated into the 

real design with just a few quick taps and make 

work easier. Nevertheless, I am firmly convinced 

that we develop boats for people who have 

very individual wishes and requirements, which 

ultimately always must be discussed from person 

to person. Designers should be aware of this fact 

and learn to use AI to their advantage. 

Three words that characterise your teamwork: 

“Quality, Open minded, Aspiration.” 

In an industry characterised by progress and 

development at the highest level, Yachtwerft 

Meyer, with its young and innovative team, has 

proven that continuous advancement is the key to 

success. By combining modern design, advanced 

technology, and a commitment to sustainability, 

the company has solidified its position as a leading 

provider of tender boats for superyachts. And 

with each new project, the company sets sail 

for an even more exciting future.

tuning capabilities. While users around the world are embracing 

it mainly for its performance capabilities, it also serves as a 

comprehensive diagnostic tool. With its fault code reader, real-time 

engine monitoring and data logging features, the Maptuner Nano 

empowers users to troubleshoot issues effectively, eliminating 

the need for costly trips to the mechanic or dealership. 

Whether you’re a performance enthusiast seeking to extract 

every ounce of power from your vehicle or a conscientious driver 

aiming to optimise fuel efficiency, the Maptuner Nano offers 

the tools you need to unlock your vehicle’s full potential. The 

user-friendly design and intuitive interface of the MyMaptuner 

App make it accessible to novices and experts alike, catering 

to the needs of the user and its vehicles. The Maptuner Nano

SHOCK TACTICS 

Mike Wills takes a look at the importance of shock mitigation 

and the necessary safety protocols needed in today’s tenders 

and powerboats for the comfort of crew and guests 

In the recreational market, creature comfort has become important. 

In the past decade, outboard engine technology has advanced 

inexorably and so have hull designs. Boats are faster, consume less 

fuel and are more sea worthy than ever before. They are more safer 

and more versatile which has lead to the next generation of mid range, 

fast planing craft penetrating not only the traditional owner skipper 

market but now engaging with the charter, tender and adventure based 

tourist market in a way that was never self evident before. Despite the 

euphoria that has made the mid markets (20 -50’) herald some of the 

fastest growing brands in the world, there are many enemies to an 

exciting and pleasant experience on the water. 

Motion sickness is an issue on boats where roll, and the five other 

equally disagreeable motions, including heave, surge, sway, yaw and 

pitch, are likely contributors to why not more people enjoy boating. A 

simple gyro easily installed, can now stabilise a craft at anchor. This 

sort of technology has fully embraced the mid ranges including RIBS 

and open weekenders which subsequently have benefited the most.

And then there is impact from a rough and troublesome sea 

where seating technology has advanced in leaps and bounds 

too. With a golden passport from their roots in military and 

automotive industries, they now have a solid footing in recreative 

boating too. Impact at speed when negotiating a rough chop in 

a Mistral in the Med or a confused water in the Solent - hurts! 

It hurts the spine, jerks the neck, dislodges vertebrae and can 

even break bones. I’ll elaborate on this later on in this article. 

Military use demands long term extended high performance 

in any sea condition and so does the highest echelons of car 

racing over rough terrain. In fact four shock absorbers are 

fitted on every land based vehicle in the world and has done 

so for decades for a reason – comfort and avoidance of injury, 

so why not on a boat? 

The obvious answer had to come through seat shock absorption 

technology which arrived on the recreational scene about 

25 years ago but there were hurdles. The sector was much 

smaller by volume and price sensitive to compared with the 

aforementioned military and automotive sectors. Today, there 

are many key players in the market that cater for this sector 

which has rapidly expanded over the past decade. 

Anecdotally, my time racing in Class III (UK and World 

Championships) there was no seat technology and yet ‘the 

torture’ came from the seat. In rough weather (which we used 

to excel in), every wave we hit, transmitted to the back of my 

neck in a weird way. Like a Zulu spear that pierced the back of 

my skull. It was a unique and unpleasant feeling. At the time it 

was about the winning not the discomfort. To avoid any injury 

to my back, the technique was to ride the boat like a horse 

jockey holding onto grab handles so the potential sudden 

10G impacts (yes that’s a force equivalent to ten times your 

own weight), had less effect. Newton’s laws of motion about 

action and reaction are as relevant now as they were in the 

17th century…there’s no escape but there is now a solution! 

If ever there was a competitive sector of the business then 

companies involved in making shock absorbing seating systems 

and the seats that ‘sit’ on them, take the lead! It is surprisingly 

technical and borne out of scientific research. This is why anyone 

that makes investments in this respect needs to refer to their 

websites and do some homework. 

They are informative and a few have published bona fide scientific 

data which eludes to the infamous 10G impact if only for a few 

milliseconds and how that is successfully mitigated with their 

individual mechanical solutions. When a boat goes airborne 

and that’s when the propeller is well clear of the water let alone 

the boat, a 10G impact is surprisingly common in a 30+ knot light 

boat in a 3-4 ft/1m sharp chop. 

However I was drawn to Ullman’s website 

with a whole section of their site devoted 

to research and a notice of the EU directive 

that is ‘supposed ‘ to preside over this. 

Passed in 2002 and I am paraphrasing, 

the directive makes owners responsible 

for passengers’ exposure to dangerous 

impacts on high speed vessels and the 

onus on being on them to provide the 

best available technical solutions such 

as seats. Ullman concluded that no 

high-speed boat operations can be 

SHARK SEATING 

Starting 10yrs ago with FLEX, a patented 3-axis suspension, Shark launched 

the world’s only injection-moulded jockey suspension-seats. With combined 

weight from only 7kg these robust, corrosion-proof shock-mitigation seats 

provide superb comfort and unmatched safety. During rough transits the 

225mm (9”) travel of FLEX provides the ultimate ride, eliminating both 

vertical and lateral vibrations. Now with FLEXpod, Shark adds half-height 

(8.5”) suspensions with unbeatable 6” travel and weighing only 3kg. They 

replace standard 8-inch seat-posts to transform the ride of any seat at 

unbeatable pricing. Combining this with a range of super-lightweight Shark 

seats, you not only save your back but space and money at the same time. 

Shark seats are routinely put through a regime of tests including life-tests, 

drop-tests, crash-tests, fatigue tests and in-boat testing. Thousands of the 

20 NATO-approved modules have been in use all over the world in rescue 

and border patrol for 5 years now.

Sitting in a traditional seat puts your

injuries and disk ruptures in the neck. 

guaranteed or even claimed to be compliant with the EU directive. There 

is a caveat, Ullman’s claims are that the jockey seating configurations are 

currently the closest thing to EU compliance on the market. 

With the EU struggling to legislate and ending up in a red tape fog, 

Ullman is exempt from the EU regulation in its purest form and indeed I 

assume, so must all other players in the market. 

Ullman’s other concern was ‘bottoming out’ and Carl Ullman clarified 

for me, “Bottoming out means that the suspension reaches the end of 

its mechanical stroke. Some suspensions are prone to bottoming out, 

which can significantly amplify the peak acceleration, and they would 

be better off in seats without suspension.” 

Let me explain ‘peak acceleration’ and back to Sir Isaac Newton, it’s 

not just the mass of a human body it is the product of the force that our 

bodies are accelerated at, that makes us heavier. Too much force and 

it hurts and even dangerous on impact with a wave! 

There is one other thing on Ullman’s website that I took attention to 

which was about posture. Carl’s father, a Doctor Johan Ullman being a 

professional inventor as well as specialist in anaesthesiology and intensive 

care in occupational medicine. His affiliation is with the University of 

Stockholm and given that sphere of influence embarked on extensive 

SHOCKWAVE 

Many types of leisure boats will be able to accommodate 

their recreational Sentinel suspension bases. The most 

common install method is mounting to a riser box, or to a 

short pedestal. The suspension base is 220mm tall. Provided 

you have 220mm clearance below your seat, you should 

be able to fit the Sentinel suspension base to your boat. For 

the recreational market the mid-back is by far most popular, 

with the S5 Sentinel suspension the most popular choice 

for the majority of recreational boats. Performance, size and 

cost are optimised for this market. That said, some of their 

professional seats that were initially designed for the military 

have been well received by a segment of the recreational 

market that value performance, luxury and function, over cost.

research into how our bodies react to high impact at sea in whatever 

guise. He stated, “Sitting in a traditional seat always puts your spine 

into a C-shape. This is the worst position for the spine to be in when 

exposed to a vertical impact. There is risk for head jolts. Head jolts can 

cause whiplash-like distortion injuries and disk ruptures in the neck.” 

With the above in mind, seats have been remoulded, redesigned and 

logistical design has been improved, though bear in mind, this was the 

journey with military, emergency and municipal services that came before 

our recreational market. 

Other major contenders in the market, their take on how they have 

successfully engaged with the market is interesting, worthy of consideration 

and warrants a visit to their websites for the fuller picture. 

My conversations around the world started with Shockwave seating 

and mitigation systems. 24 years in existence, Shockwave is Canadian 

based and one whose roots still remain in special military forces around 

the world, supplying Sentinel bases and a range of seating to boot. 

That said their unique claim is all that is required is a 220 mm clearance 

gap to fit the base beneath a seat. The absorption process is principally 

based on air/sprung cushioning and the system can be installed within a 

day. The Sentinel is equipped with a 100mm travel FOX Float H2O shock

ULLMAN DYNAMICS 

Ullman seats have been developed for the toughest use in the harshest conditions on the planet - 

from Arctic ice to tropic dust - day and night. Used by police, military, special forces, coast guard and 

sea rescue organisations across the globe. Due to increasing awareness of injury risks, among yacht 

crews and captains, as well as increasing performance of yacht tenders and adventure boats, Ullman 

Dynamics are seeing a growing demand for their suspension seats in the super-high-end civilian 

market. The Ullman seats have been scientifically proven to be, by far, the safest of all seats. A unique 

track record of 22,000 seats in professional use over 20 years with ZERO injuries reported, gives 

solid support for Dr. Ullman’s claim that “If it feels good, it most probably is”.

which absorbs small bumps and vibrations at the top of the suspension 

travel with bottoming protection during peak impacts. Design is compact 

and adjustable. 

They export all over the world and often found on fibreglass and aluminium 

boats between 20 – 45’. Their mid back seat is by far the most popular 

but their military seating has carried favour with more luxurious and less 

budget conscious owners. Pricing starts at 1497euros for the base and 

a further 60 euros for a high pressure pump that can take the pressure 

up to 350psi! The pump is not needed everyday but can be used to fine 

tune those guests or passengers of varying weights. 

ER PRO, from Greece takes a slightly different stance in their engagement 

with the market through cross fertilising technology with Öhlins a Swedish 

centre of excellence, in shock absorption for Formula 1, moto GP, moto 

cross, mountain bikes and even snow mobiles. The worldwide service 

network associated with this alliance comes as an added bonus too. 

Their solution to shock mitigation at sea, utilises progressive coil springs 

over air springs with racing style settings and above all to provide bespoke 

solutions for the recreation market as they have done so, historically, for 

military, coast guard and police use, as well as automotive.

ZWAARDVIS 

Zwaardvis offers countless options to 

make your time on the water as relaxing 

as possible. How? By supplying functional 

and innovative seat pedestals and table 

solutions for boating that respond to 

every need for guaranteed comfort. 

Their products respond to the need for 

seats that meet the highest standards. 

They aren’t simply seats, but extremely 

comfortable seating solutions that are 

pleasant to sit in for many hours. They are 

available in a variety of models 

and colours, so there is always 

one that perfectly matches the 

design of any boat. . Their design 

philosophy plays a central role here: subtle 

integration into the interior. The main 

raw material they use is recyclable 

aluminium, because the team are 

eager to protect the environment for 

future generations. 

www.zwaardvis.com 

The product range of absorption system and seat range which is the 

Chameleon, Jockey and Spartan, are sold mainly in Europe and increasingly 

in America. Mitigating G force for ER PRO is between 4-6G, though this 

can be adjusted upwards, if necessary. Price ranges start from 2500 to 

8000 euros depending on specification and bespoke design including 

painting/upholstery and seat design and interestingly ER’s proprietor sees 

this as adding value to a boat that is fitted with this technology. I agree. 

From New Zealand, Shark Seats have a full range of seats and systems, 

claiming the lightest possible suspension seats, renewable bioplastics, 

making the top four in the UK’s Ministry of Defence for no adjustment 

required for passenger weight between 40Kg to 120Kg and now exporting 

to 50 countries worldwide. In much the same market as the others, 

recent successes include the tender and tourist markets. 

FLEX is the core of the Shark suspension system and provides 225mm 

of smooth travel. It is corrosion free, light and tough. Choice of seating 

reflects the company’s ambition for reflecting the lifestyle of the owner 

though fitting your own seat is also possible. It is the Luxe for office to 

boat, Epic for open top boating, stylish and exposed to the rigours of 

the sun, Ultra for the budget conscious and Ultra-light for those builders 

in the market for tourist use. 

SCANDINAVIAN SEAT 

SUSPENSION SYSTEMS 

4S Group is a Swedish run developer/manufacturer

ERPRO 

The ERpro HSC seats offer a reliable, durable and high-quality solution to 

shock mitigation. Τhe main structure is made by naval aluminum and the 

heart of the suspension system is enhanced with specially designed Ohlins 

coil spring shock absorbers. Those features as well as the ability to offer 

customised solutions in a variety of colours and trustworthy after sales 

support, make ERpro’ s seats a great choice for pleasure, professional or 

military high-speed boats. The SP-IV-L signifies a new era for ERpro. This 

fourth version of the popular “Spartan” model is a limited edition bucket 

seat that pays tribute to the long and fruitful cooperation with Ohlins as an 

acknowledgement of their support. The seat encloses all the experience 

and feedback gathered since ERpro presence in the market. It features a 

lightweight aluminum construction, a redesigned suspension frame, along with 

shock absorbers having dampening profiles specifically developed for ERpro. 

www.er-products.com 

Their solution to shock mitigation 

at sea, utilises progressive coil 

springs over air springs with racing 

style settings and, above all, to 

provide bespoke solutions for the 

recreation market. 

The company addresses the 10G slam and claims this can be reduced 

to 4G in a larger boat and 4G to 2G for a smaller boat with their systems. 

Pricing starts from circa 800 euros for a basic set up to 4000+ euros 

for a sophisticated high end result. 

Exporting to 55 countries, Ullman kits can be seen on high profile brands 

such as Goldfish, Windy, Scorpion and Ribcraft. There are several more 

and that makes them conversant with the tender, high performance RIB 

and professional markets. 

Their range of seats is the Jockey, Bucket, Bolster and Daytona seats. 

The Jockey and Bolsters are popular with drivers and operative functions 

certainly within the confines of a helm. 

Jockey and Daytona seats are used for passengers with the latter 

often sending guests to sleep even in a high speed journey!! 10G can 

be experienced by a professional operative with no side affects. Price 

ranges start from 3,000 to 14,000 euros, depending on the spec of the kit. 

Scandinavian Seat Suspension Systems is a business to business 

company and so does not sell to an end user. The systems and there’s 

a whole range of them, shown on their website appears to cater for 

the mid range markets. The company also reflects Ullman’s foray into 

the reasons why this equipment, mitigating shock, whilst at sea is valid. 

And finally, what are their future plans? This proves interesting as all are 

looking towards even more comfort and security than is currently available. 

SHOCKWAVE will be announcing new innovation in their take on their 

current product range later on this year. 

ER PRO will be introducing two new models that will be released in 

2024. The first one in April and another one in September. 

SHARK SEATING aims to expand on the EVO seating range with additional 

accessories and to continually reduce weight on their ranges. This is 

something that is work in progress and announcements will be made 

in the future. Their mantra is to reduce weight in all product ranges and 

maximise recycling once the product has reached an end of life stage. 

ULLMAN will be launching a complete series aimed at the larger crew 

transfer vessels, luxury tenders and ferries. These seats feature a unique 

patented suspension system called FJORD (Flexible Joint Omni-resilient 

Dampening). This allows the seat to counteract the movement of the 

boat, a bit like a gyro that offers superior comfort and protection from 

wave impact at a competitive cost. 

This sector is alight at the moment as more innovation pours into this 

market. There must be a reason to report on what happens next! 


SUSPENSION SEATING 

Marine suspension seating, once a luxury, has become 

a necessity. As yacht tenders have become larger and 

faster, so have the forces applied to the body 

ADVERTORIAL 

Intrepid Powerboats, 375 Nomad FE 

Not all suspension units are built equal. The 

two main forms of marine suspension are 

mechanical and air suspension. Although 

mechanical spring suspension is better than no 

suspension, it doesn’t offer the comfortability, 

adjustability, smoothness or fine-tuning of an 

air shock suspension unit. 

Suspension with an air-sprung shock allows you 

to adjust the air pressure in the shock to match 

the weight of the person in the seat. Meaning 

every seat can have just the right amount of 

suspension to keep each occupant comfortable 

and safe while on the water. Professional seat 

suspension is for boaters looking to navigate 

the worst of waters, at speed, and for those 

who want the best. Recreational suspension 

is designed for moderate sea conditions and 

lower speeds. 

Premium suspension seating 

Professional suspension seats are for boaters 

who need the absolute highest performance 

suspension. Militaries, search & rescue, 

professional mariners, charter fishing guides, 

tender captains, or anyone who is regularly out 

on the water should consider a Shockwave 

suspension base. Our professional suspension 

seats offer unparalleled comfort, protection, and 

performance, used by the top militaries in the 

world in the roughest sea conditions. 

Shockwave is recognised internationally as a 

premium suspension seat and the company 

that sets the standard for marine suspension 

across all types of vessels. Shockwave products 

are welded, assembled, powder coated, and 

built in Canada with materials supplied by our

high-quality partners; FOX Defense, Corbin, 

Speedway Engineering, and IGUS. Adding 

suspension seating will ensure maximum safety 

and comfort for the people aboard your vessel. 

Different suspensions for recreational and 

professional boating applications 

Shockwave professional suspension seats are 

used widely by various military, SAR teams, and 

other professional boaters around the world, 

as well as recreational boaters who demand 

the best. 

The Shockwave S3 suspension seat is designed 

for the most demanding sea conditions at high 

speeds. Providing 203 mm of travel in the airsprung 

marinized shock by FOX Defense, your 

limiting factor will be your boat, not your body. 

Gulf Craft, Oryx 379 

The Shockwave S3 seat is the best, made for 

the best. The Shockwave S2 suspension seat 

is a lighter version of the S3 utilising 152 mm of 

travel in the air-sprung marinized FOX Defense 

Shock, keeping occupants safe and comfortable. 

One of the features of Shockwave’s S5 Sentinel, 

the recreational suspension base, is that you 

can attach nearly any seat you want to it. Easy 

installation and compatibility with most boats 

and seats means you can install it and be back 

on the water on the same day. Shockwave also 

offers a premium seat, the Commander, that 

attaches directly to the suspension base. 

You wouldn’t drive your vehicle without 

suspension, so why wouldn’t you have suspension 

on your power boat where the impact on your 

body is much greater?

BRIDGING 

THE GAP 

BlueNav has focused on 

bringing today’s mobility 

to life by developing 

alternative solutions 

with hybrid propulsion 

As the energy transition accelerates in 

the automotive world, the commitment 

to sustainability in the marine industry is 

just setting sail. BlueNav’s essential purpose is 

to passionately support responsible navigation, 

empowering individuals to experience pure bliss 

and forge an intimate connection with nature. 

BlueNav’s core mission revolves around 

accelerating the energy transition within the 

boating industry towards 100% zero emissions. 

The primary focus involves designing, developing, 

and supplying add-on electric motors (Outboard, 

Inhull and Stationary), manufactured in France, 

with the aim of converting any boat into a hybrid 

electric vessel. 

BlueSpin technology, developed by BlueNav, 

serves as a crucial link between the conventional 

world of combustion engines and the realm 

of electric power. The uniqueness of BlueSpin 

also lies in the inclusion of an intelligent ecopiloting 

interface, guiding users throughout their 

journeys. This integrated solution, a Human- 

Machine Interface (HMI), is highly adaptable to 

individual preferences, ultimately enhancing the 

experience of navigation. 

By using BlueNav electric motorization systems, 

users can enjoy the combined benefits of 

traditional combustion engines and electric 

propulsion, optimising their boating experience 

with a simple button press. This innovation 

enhances versatility and convenience, making 

it a user-friendly solution for boat enthusiasts. 

A REVOLUTION IN PROPULSION 

The technology works with a hubless drive motor, 

a ring-shaped motor that transmits its motion to the 

propeller through magnetic means. This method 

offers numerous advantages. First, the magnetic 

transmission of motion minimises mechanical 

friction, resulting in improved energy efficiency 

and reduced power losses. With fewer mechanical 

components subject to wear and tear, the ring 

motor also requires less maintenance and has a 

longer lifespan compared to propulsion system. 

Thirdly, the absence of physical contact between 

components reduces noise and vibration, 

providing a quieter and more comfortable 

boating experience. Moreover, the annular shape 

allows for a compact and space-efficient design, 

maximising the available space on the vessel. 

This specific innovation in propulsion allows 

boaters to have 360° thrusting. With the 

responsiveness of the docking system developed 

by BlueNav, the boat owner can have smoother 

and more precise manoeuvering of the boat, 

enhancing overall handling and navigation. 

SMART NAVIGATION SYSTEM 

Boating is about adapting to surrounding elements 

- the wind, current, and drift - all of which are 

energy-consuming factors. By choosing to 

navigate with BlueNav, the user benefits from 

an integrated solution and a wealth of connected 

services. 

This innovating system, featuring Autopilot 

and Cruise Control, showcases its commitment 

to simplifying and transforming the 

boating experience for all. Replacing 

the complexities of manual steering, 

this intelligent system ensures that the 

boat maintains course and speed 

effortlessly, granting users full 

control over their chosen navigation, 

enabling a smoother and stressfree 

boating experience. 

WHALE DESIGN 

BlueNav’s new design helps the 

customer connect even more 

with nature. Inspired by the graceful 

dynamics of whales, their hydrodynamics 

engineers created a harmonious blend of 

biomimicry and sustainable innovation. While 

nature follows an incremental and random bias 

for its evolution, humans mimic designs that have 

been shown to be more efficient and quieter, even 

if, sometimes, they defy traditional engineering 

theories. BlueNav’s engineers demonstrated 

by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) that 

the bumps on the flippers of cetaceans and 

the striations on their belly have a result, they 

reduce drag, and increase fluid flow efficiency. 

A NEW NAVIGATION EXPERIENCE 

This unique technology provides an unparalleled 

navigation experience, combining the pleasure 

of the senses and the modernity of a connected 

engine. They can enjoy the full speed of their 

combustion engines to go fast to their destination 

and enjoy when they want the peace provided 

by the electric motors to feel more connected 

to nature and the people that are on board. It’s 

a whole new experience that you get to live.

GRAF ONTARIO 

Some things can barely be optimised. For everything else there’s 

always room at the top. That’s why a trendsetting idea for a compact 

and sporty wooden motorboat has been on their minds for some time 

now. With a weight of just a little over 2 tonnes and a waterline of barely 

more than six metres, the Ontario embodies sportiness and an almost 

enchanting elegance with a width of less than 2.5 metres. The version 

with an open transom radiates such an astounding superiority that one 

falls in love with it immediately. Of course, it is also available with a 

classic stern for the purists. The term “rear seat” actually doesn’t do 

justice to what the team have conceived for the area behind the driver’s 

seat. A sophisticated construction enables the seat to be used both in 

and contrary to the direction of travel. With the help of a variable table, 

a generously-sized double-length lying surface can be created. Graf are 

no ideologists, but our children’s world is dear to their hearts. That’s why 

they have always used oak and larch sourced from their own region for 

the substructure of their boats. What’s new with the Ontario is that they 

also offer the deck layer in domestic timbers – with a finish that is in no 

way inferior to the classic mahogany version. Graf have also considered 

the future where the drive is concerned. On request, an electric motor 

provides the necessary propulsion, coupled with unclouded joy on the 

water. In addition, the quality of their craftsmanship ensures that their 

boats can be bequeathed. Graf Bootsbau is a family business, now in 

its third generation, and has built and restored boatbuilding classics

fuel consumption by up to 30-40 per cent. The tender’s innovative beach landing ability 

allows it to be driven onto shore with reassuring control, allowing guests to disembark

equipped with a folding hard top and windscreen for space-saving garage stowage. For

of sophisticated construction technologies and fine craftsmanship. 

Novelty signed by talented designer Federico Fiorentino, the Turismo 9.5 

builds on the concept and style of the much acclaimed Turismo 7.0, while 

fully exploiting the advantages of the new boat’s longer hull. Preserving 

and accenting its predecessor’s heavy-duty military look, the Turismo 9.5 

has a particularly aggressive and sleek design as well as offering a series 

of new features, such as the spacious stern area with a U-shaped dinette 

for 6/8 people that can be converted into a sun pad, ergonomic seating 

for the pilot and copilot with a fridge inside, and a generous forward sun 

pad that can also be converted into a dinette. The helm console retains 

the distinctive style of the boat’s smaller sister, but with its increased 

dimensions offers a more futuristic and appealing design. 

A door on the forward side of the helm console accesses a room beneath 

that can accommodate a chemical or seawater WC, or alternatively be 

used as a large storage area, a bad weather shelter or a changing room. 

The Lomac Turismo 9.5 is a rib for every sea challenge thanks to its highperformance 

hull, with a vertical bow wheel, comfortable and ‘dry’ in all 

weather conditions. Power is provided by 2 Mercury engines of 300 hp

EXPERINCE 

THE DEEP 

BLUE 

SEAmagine’s Aurora Submersibles: 

Where the family meets for adventure in 

the magical world beneath the waves 

SEAmagine’s newest Aurora-90 and Aurora-100 series, tailored for 

5 to 7 individuals, depth-rated between 100m (328 ft.) to 1,000m 

(3,280 ft.), boast state-of-the-art technology, including an extra-large 

spherical cabin that provides exceptional personal space and comfort, 

as well as optics that deliver an unparalleled underwater viewing experience. 

Entering SEAmagine’s latest Aurora submersible consistently evokes awe 

as one takes in the vast interior space of the transparent cabin, resulting 

in a surreal and almost unbelievable experience. Numerous features of 

the Aurora-90 and Aurora-100 series immediately catch the eye when 

boarding these submersibles. From the elegant teak on the top deck and 

the sturdy fold-up handrails that lead guests to an exceptionally large entry 

hatch, to the spacious staircase boarding arrangement that guides guests 

directly to their seats in the transparent bubble - every aspect of these 

SEAmagine submersible models exudes an abundance of space, comfort, 

and an enhanced experience. 

Submersible designs over the years have offered multi-passenger seating, 

but never with such a bold, large, singular interior space as SEAmagine offers. 

Multi-passenger submersibles typically feature either two smaller spheres 

linked together or adopt cylindrical or oval shapes. However, these designs 

often come with more limitations compared to a single large sphere. Having 

multiple spheres separates groups into different smaller viewing areas, 

disrupts the shared experience passengers could have together, and reduces 

the personal comfort space in each bubble. Submersibles with cylindrical 

or oval cabin shapes don’t provide optimal optics in all directions, as the 

human eye perceives best through acrylic at a 90-degree angle, which is 

difficult to achieve in all directions within cylindrical and oval geometries. 

Consequently, more distortion is observed through these shapes when 

underwater. These distortions can be partially corrected by adjusting the 

thickness of the window, but they will never achieve the level of perfection 

that a large single sphere provides like in an Aurora. 

The SEAmagine Aurora-90 or Aurora-100 series not only features an extralarge 

sphere but is also built with an extra rear metal hull hemisphere to 

further increase the interior space for occupants and separate the pilot 

area from the passenger area. This enhances privacy and personal space 

for passengers seated in the front window while ensuring the pilot remains 

comfortable and unhindered in the rear section. The Aurora’s rear hull 

section houses the entry hatch, which also integrates a window. SEAmagine’s 

submersibles are the only subs on the market that have windows integrated 

into their hatch, and the combination of the large front spherical window 

and the upper-rear hatch window provides the pilot with excellent viewing 

throughout the dive, eliminating the reliance on cameras for navigation. 


The true magic of SEAmagine’s latest Aurora submersibles unfolds as the 

dive commences. As the clear blue water envelops everyone, the window 

appears to vanish completely once submerged. Passengers extend their 

arms and hands, attempting to discern the invisible boundary between the 

cabin and the water. With such a spacious window in the Aurora model, 

individuals can fully extend their arms in front of them without touching 

anything. In fact, most passengers can stand upright in the cabin without 

their heads touching the window. 

Another remarkable feature is the beautifully serene and quiet interior of 

the cabin, even as the pilot guides the sub’s propulsion system to deeper 

waters. The Auroras boast powerful propulsion thrusters that operate without 

gearboxes, ensuring there is no loud pitching noise from the motors that 

could startle sea life or create an annoying hum inside the sub. To further 

enhance the peaceful atmosphere within the cabin, SEAmagine’s interior 

design prioritised a quiet air conditioning system and fans, contributing to 

the tranquil environment. SEAmagine considers this quietness an essential 

feature of its submersible designs, allowing passengers to discuss and hear 

each other undisturbed. They can even enjoy music from the interior sound 

system while exploring the underwater world. 

SEAmagine’s Aurora submersibles not only offer exceptional experiences 

to its passengers they are also designed and built to the highest industry 

safety standards. 

For SEAmagine, quality and safety are always top priorities. “Our dedication 

extends to all aspects involved in the fabrication of our submersibles. Starting 

with effective designs, we use superior materials ideal for the harsh marine 

environment, and we apply detailed workmanship on the fabrication of each 

submersible,” said SEAmagine’s Ian Sheard, a co-founder and director of 

engineering. 

All SEAmagine submersibles are purpose-built for simplicity and with 

redundancies in place. Each sub features independently operated manual 

systems, including the ballasts, batteries and propulsion. This means no central 

“brain” controlling everything on board – an intentional design decision that 

reduces risk of systemic failure. Double monitoring systems, such as the 

one controlling the cabin’s oxygen levels, ensure the wellbeing of guests. 

From the grade of stainless steel to the acrylic viewing windows, thrusters, 

batteries and cables, all parts and equipment on board are carefully selected 

and many are third-party tested. “When selecting materials, we don’t just 

consider their immediate use,” explained Sheard. “We consider how each 

piece helps the long-term maintenance, performance and life cycle of the 

sub, as well as how they will stand up to regular inspections.” 

When it comes to certifications for quality and safety, SEAmagine leads the 

industry. The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) performs a design review 

of each sub and approves all materials used, including batteries, which are 

certified to 6,000msw (19,685 fsw). It provides approval for the submersible 

testing plans and analysis, and inspects the final product, approves the 

pressure tests and oversees sea trials. “We put so much effort into quality 

and safety because we care about our customers like family, and because 

we have pride in the experiences we make possible,” said Sheard. 

The latest Aurora-90 and Aurora-100 series from SEAmagine represent 

the culmination of the company’s unparalleled experience in designing 

and constructing submersibles. These SEAmagine subs have a dry weight 

between 9,000 kg and 12,000Kg, respectively, and can be semi-customised 

with unique interior configurations, different depth ratings, or with single 

or multiple hoist points depending the yacht’s requirements. Alongside 

delivering exceptional underwater experiences to passengers, these models 

are engineered to be practical, robust, and reliable - ready for action anytime, 

anywhere. 

SEAmagine has a proven history of providing outstanding international 

technical support to yacht owners and captains for its submersibles. 


The company has a dedicated team of skilled engineers and technicians 

available to promptly address any issues, regardless of the yacht’s location. 

Moreover, SEAmagine offers a comprehensive training programme for 

submersible pilots and support crews, ensuring that all clients have a 

world-class submersible operation established aboard their yacht. In fact, 

SEAmagine is the first to have created a professional submersible pilot training 

programme, in 1999 in conjunction with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). The 

programme expanded over the years into today’s extremely well-structured 

and proven training process, with more than 100 pilots now licensed. The 

company’s pioneering effort is now industry standard and represents the 

top training programme available for submersible pilots. 

The objective of SEAmagine’s training programme is not only to have trained 

pilots, but also to ensure that the full crew of the ship is familiar with the 

overall operation and the contingencies. The training is typically performed 

on the client’s ship with the delivered submersible. “The extensive usage of 

SEAmagine subs in the leisure, commercial and defense sectors equips us 

with invaluable experience and firsthand know-how that can only be gained 

at sea,” said SEAmagine’s Chairman Charles Kohnen. “Our goal is to pass 

this knowledge on to our customers through a robust, hands-on training 

program that starts in the classroom and ends in the water.” 

SEAmagine is a leading manufacturer of personal and professional submarines, 

with over 12,000 dives accumulated with a perfect safety record. The 

company produces two- to seven-person models for depths from 100 to 

2,300 metres deep. 

SEAmagine’s submersibles have been used on many superyacht, scientific 

and professional projects and have also been used in National Geographic, 

BBC and numerous other film documentaries. The company’s long history 

and innovative designs have been achieved through a total commitment 

to safety, high-quality standards and elegant engineering.

SAVAGE RIVALE 

Welcome to the first car that we’ve ever heard described as an ‘exoelectric 

beach EV’. Yep, this is some fantastic niche-filling from Dutch 

firm Savage Rivale. You may remember that name from 2009’s four-door 

roofless supercar the Bewerp Savage Rivale Roadyacht GTS? Just five of 

those were built in 10 years, and the design was then sold to a Japanese 

firm and Savage Rivale got into making boats instead. Inspired by the Mini 

Moke and the Meyers Manx both going electric, they wanted to create the 

‘ultimate beach cruiser’ that would get owners ‘from A to Beach’. The result 

is built on an aluminium spaceframe and uses a steel roll cage around the 

occupants. A very simplistic design combined with a high-quality finish.

JETCYCLE 

Powered entirely by human effort, the JetCycle Max has 

garnered attention from cyclists, notably the 8-time world

expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “When I witnessed the 

JetCycle gliding on the water for the first time, I knew I had to 

give it a try. To ensure optimal preparation for my world record 

attempt with my flatbed recumbent bike, I chose to incorporate 

the JetCycle into my training regimen, and I am genuinely proud 

to be part of this adventure.” In a bid to enhance accessibility, 

the E JetCycle integrates hybrid drive technology for greater 

ease of use. The enhanced premium model boasts a durable 

battery providing up to three hours of autonomy and outstanding 

stability due to its trimaran hull. Intuitive flight and direction 

controls make it accessible to all users, complemented by an 

adjustable pedal system based on user size.

TIWAL - 2L 

Since launching its first model in 2012, Tiwal continues 

to innovate and in 2022 launched the Tiwal 2L, big 

sister to the very compact Tiwal 2. The Tiwal 2L is the 

inflatable sailing dinghy that is roomy enough for the whole 

family! The inflatable wings on the T2L are reassuring and 

comfortable for children and inexperienced skippers – 

while more experienced sailors will adore hiking out and 

getting close to the water! Equipped with a 6.6m² furling sail 

and with no metal exoskeleton, the T2L is ideal to enjoy the 

pleasures of sailing while at anchor. The boat is very rigid 

when inflated and can comfortably carry 2 adults, or 1 adult 

and 2 children. The inflated hull can be stored on deck or, at 

anchor, tied off the stern of your cruising boat. If you decide 

to go for a swim and spot a nice beach, you can just pull 

your Tiwal ashore! When not in use, the T2L packs down 

into its two sturdy storage bags, which are easy to stow 

onboard. Taking only around 15 minutes to assemble (and 

disassemble), with no tools needed, this is an accessible, 

fun and portable sailing dinghy the whole family will love!

A LIFE 

AQUATIC 

Explore the world of recreational freediving with SSI. 

Mind and body relaxed, let yourself slip into the water and 

become a part of the magnificent harmony of nature 

Recreational freediving, often associated 

with relaxation, exploration, and 

connection with nature, has gained 

popularity as an accessible and 

rewarding way to experience the underwater 

world. Scuba Schools International (SSI), a 

leading organisation in dive education, offers 

comprehensive training programmes for 

individuals interested in exploring the wonders 

of freediving in a safe and enjoyable manner. 

Let’s delve into the world of recreational 

freediving with SSI and discover the joys it 

brings to enthusiasts worldwide. 

SSI’s recreational freediving courses cater 

to individuals of all experience levels, from 

beginners to advanced practitioners. The 

curriculum covers essential skills such as breathhold 

techniques, equalisation methods, safety 

procedures, and underwater communication. 

Participants learn at their own pace under 

the guidance of experienced instructors, 

ensuring a comfortable and supportive learning 

environment. 

One of the highlights of SSI’s recreational 

freediving courses is the emphasis on safety and 

responsible diving practices. Participants gain a 

thorough understanding of the physiological 

effects of breath-holding and pressure changes, 

as well as practical skills for managing potential 

risks while diving. With safety as a top priority, 

SSI’s training programmes instill confidence and 

competence in participants, allowing them to 

enjoy the underwater world with peace of mind. 

Recreational freediving with SSI is not just about 

acquiring skills; it’s also about fostering a deeper 

connection with the ocean and its inhabitants. 

Participants have the opportunity to explore 

breathtaking underwater landscapes, encounter 

marine life in its natural habitat, and experience 

moments of tranquility and serenity beneath the 

surface. Freediving offers a unique perspective 

on the underwater world, allowing individuals to 

connect with nature in a way that is both intimate 

and awe-inspiring. 

Furthermore, recreational freediving with SSI 

promotes physical and mental well-being, offering 

a holistic approach to health and fitness. The 

practice of breath-hold diving improves lung 

capacity, cardiovascular endurance, and overall 

breath control. Moreover, the meditative aspects 

of freediving promote relaxation, stress reduction, 

and mental clarity, contributing to a sense of 

balance and harmony in everyday life whilst 

connecting with nature. 

In conclusion, recreational freediving with SSI is 

an enriching and transformative experience that 

allows individuals to explore the beauty of the 

underwater world in a safe and enjoyable manner. 

With comprehensive training programmes, 

emphasis on safety, and focus on holistic wellbeing, 

SSI empowers enthusiasts to discover the

MOVIE HEROES 

WET NELLIE - THE SPY WHO LOVED ME 

Wet Nellie is the behind-the-scenes name given to a custombuilt 

submarine, created for the 1977 James Bond film The 

Spy Who Loved Me in the shape of a Lotus Esprit S1 sports 

car. The Esprit was chosen to give James Bond a glamorous car to 

drive. ‘Wet Nellie’ is named in reference to Little Nellie, an autogyro 

featured in the James Bond film You Only Live Twice, which was itself 

named after actress and comedian Nellie Wallace. 

It was built by Perry Oceanographic, Inc., of Riviera Beach, Florida, 

United States, specifically for the film, using a Lotus Esprit S1 bodyshell, 

for about $100,000 at the time. In filming, six Esprits were used 

(registration PPW 306R), though only one submarine. Three of the 

Esprits were just empty bodyshells which were used to show each 

phase of the car-to-submarine transformation. When an additional road 

car was needed for the chase sequences the producers borrowed 

Lotus chairman Colin Chapman’s personal vehicle. Upon completion 

of filming, the submarine went on a promotional tour. Afterwards, it was 

shipped to Long Island, New York, and placed in storage. The storage 

unit was prepaid for 10 years; at the end of the lease, no one claimed 

the contents, so the contents of the storage locker were placed on 

auction. The lucky buyer paid less than $100 for the unit. The buyers 

did not know the contents when they bought it, and from 1989 to 2013 

occasionally exhibited the submarine. The then owner, also owner of a 

tool rental shop, had the exterior restored. It was put up for auction as 

a Bond car in 2013. In September 2013, the submarine sold at auction 

for £550,000 at RM Auctions in Battersea, south west London. Elon 

Musk bought the vehicle, and as of 2013, planned to convert it into the 

functional car-submarine from the film. Musk stated that he plans to 

use Tesla Motors’ electric drive train in making his conversion a reality, 

not sure if that ever happened.....
