Cornish boatbuilder Cockwells has said it has delivered two of the fastest luxury yacht tender boats it has ever designed and built.
The Mylor-based company said it had completed the boats, which will support one of the largest superyachts in the world, for Lürssen Shipyard in Germany.
The 2.3m Limousine Catamaran Tender and an 11.7m Open Sport Catamaran Tender will service the 160m mega yacht ‘Blue’.
Cockwells said the twin diesel-powered, waterjet-driven tenders could each reach a speed of up to 52 knots.
The Limousine Catamaran Tender can accommodate up to 15 guests and has a height-adjustable deck saloon to allow it to fit into the mothership’s garage.
Founder and managing director Dave Cockwell said: “We believe these are the fastest, tried and tested catamaran tenders in the industry, which demonstrates, once again, that Cockwells can be trusted to deliver innovative engineering, creative design, superlative luxury and outstanding performance – and whatever our clients desire.
“As a result of Cockwells’ outstanding reputation in the industry, we are delighted to report the sale of a further high-speed luxury catamaran as part of a contract to design and build four bespoke tenders for a new client to match his precise requirements.”
Cockwells collaborated with Terence Disdale Design on the project, which was behind mothership ‘Blue’.
