As much as yacht owners and crew are seeking more sustainable operations for their primary yachts, it’s just as important to consider the tenders and toys. Williams Jet Tenders is among the tender manufacturers striving to make a difference. For now on, all of its offerings with Yanmar engines have approval for using HVO. If…

Although it’s not common, some owners like to give their tenders their own names. The owner of an intrepid explorer for visiting all sorts of latitudes has a pretty suitable name in mind for his tender when she’s finished.

This 37-foot (11.4-meter) tender is in Maine waters, but she’s heading to a European shipyard soon. She’s joining her mothership, under construction, ahead of taking the owners and guests to and from anchorages in comfort. This is the latest Hodgdon Tenders limousine tender created in collaboration with Michael Peters Yacht Design. The tender specifically is…

The old saying “he who has the most toys wins” doesn’t take into account how some toys are multiple toys in one. The re-imagined FunAir Floating Playground is a good example. You can be among the first to try it, too, at the Monaco Yacht Show. The new version is the FunAir Climbing Playground. “Climbing”…
