Hodgdon Launches Mini Venetian Limousine Tender
DAMARISCOTTA - Hodgdon Tenders, the superyacht tender division of Hodgdon, announced that they launched a 6.5 meter limousine tender. The tender currently is the smallest member of the Venetian line, which ranges from 6.5 to 12.0 meters. Michael Peters Yacht Design of Saraso-
ta, FL designed the 6.5 meter Mini Venetian Limousine Tender, which includes many of the features that can be seen in Hodgdon's larger tenders.
Designed for easy boarding, the tender
features port and starboard hull doors that swing open for aft boarding, custom retract- ing stairs into the guest cabin, and a roof that lifts for full headroom height. Large glass panels have been incorporated into the roof, which allow natural light to enter the cabin and provide a feeling of spaciousness. The luxury cabin - with heat and air conditioning - allows comfortable seating for up to eight guests.
"This project has been a very exciting
challenge and something we have aspired to undertake for a few years. We wanted to be the fi rst superyacht under 50m to have a ful- ly-fl edged limousine tender, but it needed to adhere to strict size and weight restrictions,"
said Angus Jack, Captain 47m Feadship. "Hodgdon impressed from the get go with the list of owner and crew demands for the boat being exceeded. Hodgdon's profession- al approach and willingness to think outside the box has led to a phenomenal product built to the highest standards. I can't thank the team enough for their
eff orts and I am sure this will pave the way for other similar sized superyachts to follow suit and off er their owners' and guests' lim- ousine comfort transport." One of the most impressive points about
the tender is its handling. Powered by a Vol- vo D3-220 diesel engine, speeds of up to 35 knots were recorded during builder's trials. "Being able to off er a limousine tender
of this size that's comfortable, luxurious, quiet, and handles so well is exciting," said Audrey Hodgdon, Director of Sales & Mar- keting. "Now superyachts with small tender bays or limited space on deck have the option to carry a high-quality Hodgdon limousine tender."
Upon delivery, Hodgdon's dedicated
Service and Support team will re-commis- sion the tender and provide crew training.
