Designed by Andrew Winch Designs of London, featuring naval architecture and engineering by Hodgdon‘s in-house engineering department, the two 8,5 m luxury superyacht tenders, hull 415 and hull 416 were specially engineered and built using infused epoxy carbon fibre construction in order to meet the customer’s demanding weight requirements. The two tenders are currently on their way to The Netherlands, where they will join a luxury superyacht currently under build by a prestigious Dutch shipyard, to be launched soon.

The limousine tender features the exceptional craftsmanship and sophisticated systems engineering that Hodgdon is so well known for.  Outside, a defining characteristic of the AWD design is a compound curve teak clad transom exceptionally executed.  Inside, the full wood raised panel teak joinery interior features separate lavatory and wash basin lockers with luxury leather seating for up to 8 guests.  Systems highlights include NEMA 2000 systems integrated iPad in the salon, electrically retracting glass moon roof, electrically retracting glass aft bulkhead, hydraulically lifting roof, lithium ion smart battery system and more.
