Tenders have evolved from a necessary requirement into coveted toys, and the rise of bigger chase boats are snapping at their heels. But what are owners looking for and do either type of vessel fully cater to their needs? The fourth episode of Heesen’s chat show YachtTalk takes an in-depth look at the golden age of tenders.
On the panel were Stefan Zucker, founder of Zucker & Partners; Dries Wajer, managing director of Wajer Yachts; and co-founder of Tenderworks, Ernest Menten.
The episode began with discussions on the definition of a tender. Menten defines them as small boats that belong to, and are stored on, a superyacht and serve as the first impression an owner or guest will have of the mothership.
