Hodgdon on course for Monaco


A 10.5-m limousine tender from Hodgdon Custom Tenders will be on display at upcoming Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), which will be held at Port Hercules from September 23 to 26.

The tender – which is the 422nd hull built by Hodgdon and 10th unit produced since 2011 – will also be available for private invitation showings the week prior to MYS and available for sale with delivery immediately following Les Voilles St Tropez, a regatta that runs from September 26 to October 4.

Designed by Michael Peters Yacht Design, the limousine tender is the archetype of Hodgdon’s Venetian series custom tenders, which range from 8.5 m to 12 m. 

The tender features a dramatic exterior paint scheme with a surprisingly chic optional leather and specialty wood veneer interior. With accommodations for up to 11 guests, including two oversized owners’ seats, amenities consist of a high-definition entertainment system, refrigerator/bar, and climate control. 

The port and starboard side windows power down, to reveal generous guest boarding access. The entire saloon hardtop rises hydraulically, which allows full-height headroom, for ease of boarding and 360 degrees of visibility. 

Much of the exterior stainless steel hardware, including the Hodgdon signature flush anchor, are custom built. The meticulous level of detail invested into the layout and the installation of mechanical, electrical, and safety systems result in a tender whose construction is of unmatched quality. Hodgdon’s service division offers a full after-sales support programme. 

“As a superyacht builder ourselves, Hodgdon is uniquely positioned to bring superyacht building standards to the tender world,” says Timothy Hodgdon, President of Hodgdon Yachts. “Our commitment is not only to deliver these expected levels of innovation and quality, but to also support our tenders with the strength of a dedicated shipyard.” 

A high-end builder of tenders crafted to complement sophisticated superyachts, Hodgdon Custom Tenders is a division of Hodgdon of the US.
