Hodgdon Hull 413 Super Yacht Tender
HODGDON’S entré into the superyacht tender world came several years ago in a project led by Florida based Wright Maritime Group. HODGDON was commissioned to build a 10.5 limousine tender and slightly smaller matching open tender for then Oceanco Y706 megayacht Seven Seas.

The success of that Michael Peters Yacht Design (Sarasota, FL) project turned heads in superyacht ports the world over.
HOODGDON has developed several tender concepts ranging from 9.6m to 12.5m in the MPYD aesthetic including an aft helm version and is currently in contract negotiation for several other tenders including from other world class designers.

Hodgdon presented last 2011 a series of artful yacht tenders designed to please not only the discriminating owner with good taste but the crew with high standards as well.
Beautifully designed, artfully styled and expertly built, these tenders are designed to maintain an aesthetic while being optimized for a particular function.

The second pair of yacht tenders are custom designs from Andrew Winch Designs (London, UK) / Hodgdon for a project at a Northern European shipyard. At 8.5m this custom limo tender features a retractable full coverage moon roof, guest head and 30 knots cruising speed from the Volvo D-6/400 power. The open tender, features a beachable ramp to facilitate guest and beach toy deployment. Both boats are slated for an early 2013 delivery.
CUSTOM MEANS CUSTOM
There are lots of opportunities to make these designs yours. Hull and Deck colors, wood trim, leather or fabric, deck treatment or a variety of custom features are “yours to choose”. Or, Hodgdon starts over with custom concept and creates a unique and personal aesthetic.
The direction is up to the clients, the expertise is Hodgdon.
