The latest custom megayacht tenders to be handed over by Hodgdon Yachts are from the drawing boards of Andrew Winch Designs, destined for an unnamed megayacht being built in Europe. While each tender measures 27’9” (8.5 meters), that’s where the similarities end. One is a limo tender, while the other is a far sportier T-top.
The limo tender features the luxe looks you’d expect of such a craft, with leather seating (for eight people) and raised-panel teak joinery in the cabin. Other niceties inside include a head, a retracting sunroof/moonroof, a retracting aft glass bulkhead, and an iPad that displays the variety of navigation information at the helm, should guests be curious.
As for the T-top tender (pictured above), open-air seating is the emphasis, though there’s also a nice swim step aft. This seems to suggest that the guests of the megayacht toting it can use it for watersports. If the winds and/or waves kick up, the T-top tender can be fitted with a small bimini forward, to protect anyone seated toward the bow. Speaking of the bow, a boarding/disembarking ramp flips down from here when the tender is in super-shallow water.
Both Andrew Winch megayacht tenders have teak transoms and teak exterior detailing, too.
