The Xtender 8.5m SOLAS is the largest SOLAS compliant tender ever built for a superyacht, so it will come as no surprise that two of these tenders are used aboard the largest superyacht in the world by volume: M/Y Dilbar. Besides rescue craft, these tenders are rugged, versatile boats capable of fulfilling a variety of roles including day-to-day operations and expeditions as well as guest transfers. Full carbon construction allows for an extremely strong, yet lightweight boat. This brings the boat into the realm of many yachts constrained by crane capabilities that in the past would have had to opt for a smaller vessel. Even the SOLAS safety arch at the stern, responsible for self-righting the boat, is constructed from carbon to keep weight down to a minimum. The hull design ensures stable ride characteristics and a well thought out layout with an exclusive finish to the highest standard makes every trip in this tender a perfect experience. This 7.5m light weight super yacht tender is a versatile vessel that could facillitate a wide range of activities. A 3 seater bench and in the back offers a secure and comfortable ride for it's guests. Followed by an aft facing bench, the back of the boat has room to seat 5 people. In the middle there are 4 standing places for crew while the front offers another 2 seats. The hollow 3 seater bench, the console and an extra large bow locker offer space for luggage. More space can be created by removing the aft. facing bench. The combination of stainless steel and carbon fiber deck structures make this super yacht tender feel very light and spacious, while offering space for luggage.
