Hunton, the British builder of high performance, luxury powerboats has been given the possibility to prove the breadth of the customisation options available on the splendid XRS43 yacht tender, with a unique commission from a Chinese customer.
As the Hunton brand extends its global reach, new enquiries are being received from all over the world, but this month has seen possibly the most innovative to date, a boat designed specifically for a potential Chinese customer with a passion for having fun.
Based on the proven and hugely popular XRS43, the list of interior requests was enough to take the team at Hunton’s factory back to the drawing board, but to further prove the bespoke nature of Hunton’s product, every request has been met.
From a built-in karaoke machine, to the installation of lounge seating instead of a bed, this is a boat designed to not only perform like all Huntons, but to provide 24 hour entertainment, on the way to a destination and obviously upon arrival! Other bespoke features include a wine refrigerator, a watch-winder and a temperature-controlled humidor.
“We’ve always said that the team at Hunton are up for a challenge, and this commission was certainly that! As well as overcoming the obvious engineering challenges, we’ve set about creating a boat designed to tick every box for this particular customer, which is exactly how we feel successful businesses should be run. It’s not about what we want, it is about fulfilling our customers’ dreams,” said Fiona Pool, Managing Director of Hunton.
“We’re thrilled to be heading out to the Hainan Rendez-Vous to meet our customer and have the chance to show Hunton to a whole new market,” added Fiona.
The main features of the XRS43 yacht tender remain truly Hunton – from the race-inspired deep V hull to the hidden technology that delivers its superb performance. Powerful, yet supremely elegant the XRS43 presents a thrilling blend of speed, exhilaration and fun.
This particular XRS43 superyacht tender is still in the development stage, but the team at Hunton are confident it will be delivered to its new customer in time for plenty of karaoke in 2013!
