Tender of the Month: DT Beachlander

The multi-role DT Beachlander has been awarded Superyacht Times Tender of the Month for February! See the full write up below or click here for the original online article.

This month we step on board the awesome 9.8-metre DT Beachlander from Pascoe International. The 9.8-metre vessel is the latest model from the British company, Pascoe International, and has been designed to be a true multi-role tender, offering the space and layout to cater perfectly to the requirements of any superyacht. 

Currently used as a tender by one of the world's most talked-about and distinctive superyachts - the 106-metre Oceanco sailing yacht, Black Pearl - the 9.8-metre DT Beachlander tender offers everything you could want from a tender and more. With a weight of 4000kg, and a maximum beam of 2.95-metres, the 9.8-metre tender has a total of 520hp and an impressive maximum speed of 45 knots, which is bound to get your pulse racing on the water!

Part of the DT range of tenders from Pascoe International, the 9.8-metre tender has been carefully designed to be dry riding and provide excellent sea keeping whilst setting new standards in the level of finish demanded by the world’s finest yachts.

Seating up to 14 people, the hull features an innovative hydraulic opening bow ramp to enable elegant and safe access to the beach, whilst also offering a flexible deck layout for guest transportation. Newly designed, the wide hull and 'D' shape buoyancy tubes provide a significant increase in internal volume over a conventional tube, allowing guests and crew to move more freely around the tender as they please.

The DT Beachlander incorporates styling by the renowned British studio, Ken Freivokh Design who are also responsible for the design of the mothership Black Pearl. This ensures that the craft is tailored to reflect the mothership’s exact style and detailing and is a true representation of Black Pearl when collecting guests from the dock.

In addition, the tender has also been designed for use by guests as a base for exploring areas that the 106-metre mothership cannot access. Her special features on board are numerous and include a beautifully appointed day head, fridge for refreshments, a sophisticated AV suite and a hydraulic bimini for shade.

With so many cool touches on board and an exquisite level of finish, the 9.8-metre DT Beachlander has many standout features in her design including a phenomenal sound system and hidden sun loungers located within the aft sun pad. 

In addition, her bimini also lowers at the touch of a button to reduce height for more compact stowage on board. Furthermore, her high-tech joystick control system allows each sterndrive to move independently for full 360-degree control, enabling the tender to move sideways, diagonally and rotate, all without the use of a bow or stern thruster.

Tender Debut - Monaco Yacht Show

This year’s Monaco Yacht Show will be a unique opportunity to view Pascoe International’s wide range of Superyacht tenders.  Included in the three craft on display are a pair of unique flagship Limousines, based on Pascoe’s highly developed hull and engineering platform. One of the Limousines has been custom designed to serve as the main tender for the 106m Oceanco sailing superyacht ‘Black Pearl’.

With individual seating for 12 guests, panoramic windows, full length roof glazing, a sophisticated suit of the latest AV equipment, fully appointed day head, automated doors and hydraulic boarding platform, this pocket superyacht raises the bar to new heights.

Pascoe were also commissioned by the Owner of ‘Black Pearl’ to develop the extremely popular Beachlander series to produce a 10m version for cruising away from the mothership. The result is a very special craft which will also be at the show alongside Black Pearl’s Limousine.

A further equally innovative but totally different 10.20m Limousine will also make its World debut in front of Pascoe’s triple stand at the Monaco Yacht Show.

We look forward to welcoming you to experience these models first hand.

Tender of the Month: M/Y Jubilee Limousine

The sleek Jubilee Limousine tender has been awarded Superyacht Times Tender of the Month for September! See the full write up below or click here for the original online article.

Crafted by Pascoe International under the guidance of the owner’s build team and Burgess, this 10.6-metre limousine tender is an elegant and purposeful vessel. Designed to perfectly complement the mothership, the 110-metre Oceanco-built Jubilee, delivered earlier this year and featuring exteriors by Lobanov Design, and an interior by Sorgiovanni Designs.

The Pascoe International limousine range provides high-end, fast and comfortable tenders which excel in all weather conditions. Borrowing both form and function from the classic Venetian water taxis, Pascoe International limousines take the concept to a whole new level. All Pascoe Limousines are optimised to make the best use of the space available in even the most restrictive of tender garages, and are available in any variation between eight and 12 metres.

Built specifically to match the 110-metre motoryacht, Jubilee in quality and appearance, the Pascoe limousine features two quite distinct and separate external areas accessible directly from the dock and from the elegant doors either side of the handsome cabin.

With her carefully considered design, the tender’s guest cabin is positioned centrally to give guests the smoothest, quietest journey possible, with her innovative use of space still allowing for a forward open air seating area. Her exterior finishes are identical to those found on the mothership, ensuring that the limousine is a true reflection of Jubilee when her guests are first welcomed at the dockside.

The vessel is able to transport up to 12 guests in style and comfort, with the finest Italian leather used in her interiors. With fastidious attention to detail a hallmark of Pascoe International tenders, Jubilee’s leather is complemented by beautiful Flame Makore panelling, finished to perfection in a deep gloss lacquer.

Featuring all the amenities you would expect for a high-class tender, Jubilee also comes with an external wet bar with concealed refrigerator, champagne cooler, coffee machine and bespoke glassware storage.

Roy Dance, the Captain of Jubilee describes his experience with this Pascoe tender: “This was my second tender build at Pascoe and I’m happy to report that although Pascoe International have significantly expanded their operation and product range since my first experience, design excellence, innovation, phenomenal attention to detail, and an uncompromising determination to improve the product on each and every build mean that Pascoe continue to occupy a position at the very pinnacle of the luxury yacht tender niche. I look forward to my next build experience at Pascoe. It is such a pleasure to work with people so passionate about their craft and the customer experience.”

Superyacht Tender Delivery: 6.20m DT to 49m Feadship

The latest built 6.2m DT was recently delivered to her mothership, a 49m Feadship just in time for the excitement of the Monaco Grand Prix last weekend.

Launched at the Monaco Yacht Show 2016, the 6.2m DT tender retains a ‘D’ RIB configuration which offers the best possible protection for both the tender and mothership but also, maximises internal deck space. Guest boarding is also catered for from all aspects, side-on and from the bow with fixed teak lined steps and stern via a generous swim platform. The mid-engine layout not only achieves optimum weight distribution for safe launching and recovery but a significant noise and vibration reduction through a decoupled connection to either a jet or stern drive. With the standard folding console screen, this new model will fit within tender garages as low as 1200mm.

6. Katara – 124m (408.1 ft)

Motor Yacht Katara currently ranks the 18th largest in the world. Built by Lurssen in 2010, Katara like many vessels on this list is a very private yacht and therefore little is known about her interior layout and styling, other than it was designed by Alberto Pinto. Espen Oeino who has also worked on the likes of Solandge and Silver Fast, is responsible for her exterior design.

Launched in secrecy, Katara was delivered to her owner in 2010. Capable of carrying up to 34 guests as well as 95 crew members.

On-board and stowed on Katara’s forward deck are two Pascoe Tenders; a fully Lloyds Register certified 6.2m SOLAS Rescue Tender and a 6.2m Shuttle Tender. Both tenders match the yachts external colour scheme. The Pascoe tenders fulfill all the crew and water sports duties required by a yacht of this size.

5. Maryah – 125m (410.1 ft)

At number 17 is Maryah. Launched by Elefsis Shipyard in 2014, she has a very interesting history, having started life as a Russian research vessel. Built with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, Maryah adheres to full SOLAS regulations meaning she can accommodate up to 54 guests on-board.

The London-based H2 Yacht Design are responsible for her interior and exterior styling including her six decks and a number of luxury features such as a large nightclub, fully equipped spa, games room, sushi bar, cinema and helicopter platform.

Maryah currently carries two Pascoe tenders. The SY10 provides fast transport for guests, with a maximum speed of over 65 knots despite an endless specification of luxury extras. The 700HP supplied by a pair of Mercury Verado outboards makes this the perfect owner’s high-speed toy. A second 7.4m Shuttle Outboard covers water sports and crew duties and can achieve an equally impressive 48 knots.

4. Serene – 133.9m (439.3 ft)

At 133.9m Motor Yacht Serene is now the 14th largest yacht in the world. She was launched in 2011 by Fincantieri Yachts and is thought to have been one of the most technically advanced builds to date.

Serene’s engineering and exterior design is the work of Espen Oeino incorporating 7 decks, two helicopter landing pads, submarine hangar and internal salt water pool which can be adapted for tender docking.

Her interior styling by Reymond Langton Design is said to encompass luxury furnishings and seating features throughout the living areas. Serene can accommodate 24 guests in her 15 cabins including 1 VIP suite, 10 double guestrooms and 1 twin. She also features a number of amenities such as; a hot and cold Jacuzzi, outdoor cinema, snow room, jet stream swimming pool, indoor climbing wall and under water viewing room.

Working closely with the Owner during the initial design stage, the SY10 Cabin Tender is specified as a Guest launch and features an automatic anchoring system, day head and galley to enable the Owner to spend the day away from the yacht at a secluded anchorage, or touring the smaller coastal regions not accessible in a yacht of this size. The second tender is a 7.4m Shuttle, which is used for crew duties and water sports and features such custom accessories as a substantial ice chest for transporting fresh fish.

3. Topaz – 147m (482.3 ft)

At number 6 is Topaz which was built by Lurssen at their Breman Shipyard in Germany and is 147m in length.

Tim Heywood is responsible for her exterior styling consisting of 8 decks and Terrence Disdale the interior styling. As with many megayacht’s, Topaz is extremely private and so little is known about her interior detail. It is thought however, that many of the furnishings are were styled around a ‘beach house’ theme.

Built to Lloyds Register classification, Topaz can accommodate up to 64 passengers in her bespoke guest rooms. Stand-out amenities on this yacht include; an elevator, on-deck Jacuzzi, two helicopter landing pads, a swimming pool, fitness hall, a cinema and a large conference room. In addition to a whole array of toys and tenders specifically; jet skis, a small catamaran, mini-submarine and of course to be on this list, a Pascoe SY10 tender.

The SY10 Open was originally specified as an ‘Escape Craft’ for another project and as such features custom built twin 390hp diesel engines and Mercury Racing drives, Fabio Buzzi designed seats and racing derived console controls and instrumentation. The 65+ knot top speed makes this an ideal fast transit tender for a large yacht that is regularly moored off-shore and also is a great addition to the guest entertainment facilities.

2. Dubai – 162m (531.5 ft)

Launched by Platinum Yachts in 2006, at 162m LOA Dubai is ranked as the 3rd largest yacht in world.

Construction originally started in the 1990’s as a joint project between Blohm and Voss and Lurssen, however the project stopped and was acquired for completion by Platinum Yachts in 2001.

Dubai can accommodate a total of 115 guests & crew over her 7 decks. She also features a show piece circular staircase, mosaic swimming pool, several Jacuzzi’s and a heli-deck capable of accommodating a helicopter of up to 9.5 tonnes.

Dubai carries two 10m Pascoe SY10 tenders, one a closed cabin version Owner’s VIP launch and the other a multipurpose Open version.
