Yacht Tenders... they're not just for yachts anymore.

Off the beach, anchored in the turquoise waters of a Caribbean island, sits the megayacht- with passengers looking to make their way to shore. Cue the tender; that on-deck workhorse staple designed to ferry crew & passengers between the ship and ports of call. But these days the tender has taken on a whole new role... that of a sport tender. New designs, new power options, and new materials have given the tender market a life of its own among the general boating population. One brand in particular has broken all the rules, building tenders in excess of 60 feet, with speeds over 70 mph, and having all the creature comforts found on a typical cruiser. SACS Marine of Italy, dominates the European day boat landscape with its racy designs, and provides a unique alternative to that boating marketplace. Now, the U.S. marketplace is catching on to the advantages offered by owning a sport tender and boaters are either adding it to their quiver of toys, or replacing their less practical vessels with something that inspires more adventure.
