Developed by the UK builder Scorpion, the lovely Sting yacht tender is a 10-metre cabin RIB, featuring twin inboard diesel engines, deep cockpit, double berth, heads as well as shower. Sting represents an ideal boat for owners to escape and disappear for the day or longer, without having to keep moving their superyacht.

Scorpions are a real driver’s boat; they are dry and comfortable and lap up distance. It is the aim of Scorpion to build boats not for their ultimate top speed but for higher average speeds, even in rough weather.

About Scorpions range
Scorpions propriety designed hulls are ideal for Super Yacht chase boats. The deep V hull with high bow was originally designed to take on seas that batter the English Coast, but are also an excellent shape for towing. In recent years Scorpion has received a growing number of enquiries for chase boats for Super Yachts, especially among owners of 40 to 60m yachts who want a bigger tender at their disposal, than can fit on board.
Much of Scorpions range are suitable for chase boats but have to have a factory fitted strengthened towing brace installed during construction. Scorpion has a long history in custom built boats so are well used to building a boat to individual specification, for the discerning owner.
In addition to Sting yacht tender, other models in the Scorpion range are also available as chase boats and offer a range of choices from a water sports boat, to touring or just plain driving. The build quality is very high and their elegant lines draw admiring looks wherever they go.
