Xtenders

They were founded in 2008 by Herbert Dercksen, who was previously active in building state-of-the-art light weight catamarans. This is evident in the design and manufacture of its range of tenders, with a use of carbon fibre producing lightweight, but strong builds. Its tenders for sale go from around 5m (17ft) to 16m (52.5ft).

As with all of its boats the XTender Limousine range is fully customizable. It can be open or enclosed, finely tuned to the look and feel of the mothership and offers spacious accommodation, fluid lines and a low profile.

Its modular build RIB tenders offer attributes such as folding or retractable biminis and folding consoles, whilst the D-RIB range adds a carbon bulwark for extra comfort and safety onboard. XTenders Beachlanders tend to have wide hulls, forward placed engines for extended seating capacity and effective sea handling.

Its range of SOLAS Rescue Tenders is particularly innovative, they are heavy duty vessels that follow XTenders construction method that uses reinforced carbon. The result is a lightweight, custom tender, with maximum functionality, that still meets the SOLAS requirements.

XTenders approach to construction and extensive use of carbon sets them apart from other tender manufacturers and is the reason why its lightweight, highly customisable, bespoke tenders have been delivered to owners of some of the biggest superyachts on the water.
