Amor Jimenez Chito, a yacht designer, has long enjoyed using personal watercraft (PWCs), a.k.a. waterbikes. The problem, however, is that he can’t share the experience with his friends. They can’t all fit on one PWC. Therefore, he envisioned a version of a PWC for up to six people. This led to designing and building ONE…
Typically, owners with multiple yachts have dedicated tenders aboard each. The owners of the yacht Infinite Jest and her support yacht Jester, though, have taken a different approach. They commissioned a single Compass 10.3 limousine tender to serve both—and for completion quickly. How quickly? According to Richard Faulkner, the founder and CEO of Compass Tenders,…
Since its release in 2015, the Super Yacht Sub 3 has convinced the owners of 12 megayachts to commission one for themselves.

Even though a wide variety of new watertoys are hitting the market, the tried-and-true PWC (personal watercraft) still commands attention. However,…
A funny thing happened to Modifox when it was designing and developing its two-in-one shoes last year. Initially, the idea was to provide the average person with a way to pop off the street-use soles instantly, hands-free, to wear the remaining slipper-like upper shoe indoors. Additionally, the idea was to create the upper shoe of…
Coinciding with its 110th anniversary, the famed Italian automaker Maserati has entered the yachting market. Just as it’s doing with its cars, it’s gone all-electric with the Maserati Tridente. The 34-foot (10.5-meter) powerboat looks and performs as a stylish dayboat or tender should, due to the input of Hodgdon Yachts. The Maine-based shipyard is employing…
Semi-custom and fully custom superyachts reflect your design tastes throughout the decks. As much as design has evolved, remote controls and/or tablets for TVs, blinds, and more remain as bulky as ever. VBH, the audio-video specialist working with more than a dozen megayachts on average each year, has a solution. Alchimia – The Collection is…
