Bespoke Beauties

Beautifully designed and meticulously crafted custom tenders are not for everybody, but it doesn’t hurt to dream, right? Check out some of the greats designed by Power & Motoryacht columnist and naval architect Michael Peters.

Peters and Hodgdon started their collaboration two years ago, and so far have designed and launched three custom tenders. Their latest, the 10.5M Open Tender, is seen here.

Their 10.5M Limo Tender was made to fit nicely in the hull of her mother ship, the 86-meter Oceanco Seven Seas.

Inside and out, nothing is spared with the fit and finish on these tenders.

An 8.5M Limo Tender was also designed and built by Peters and Hodgdon, she features a retractable roof to let the outside in and a 30-knot top speed.

Beautiful, subtle, with a good design and solid construction, these custom tenders really are the next step in yacht ownership.

Alpha Z, designed by Peters and built by Van Dam yachts in the late 1990s, was the one that started it all.
