Tenderworks International is a prestigious sailing club based in Bristol, offering a range of exclusive custom tenders. With a strong focus on quality and a rich heritage in premium Dutch boat building, Tenderworks is committed to providing custom tenders that perfectly match the superyachts they serve.
The team at Tenderworks boasts specialists with extensive experience in building carbon fibre Volvo Ocean and America's Cup boats, making them unrivalled in their knowledge of composites. This expertise enables them to construct exceptional quality tenders that are entirely customised to meet the unique requirements of each client. In order to help clients visualise their final designs, Tenderworks constructs full-size mockups of the interior or deck layout. Additionally, they create alternative upholstery samples to ensure that every tender is as personal and unique as possible.
Tenderworks takes pride in its ability to create unique tender concepts that are tailor-made to fit any superyacht's garage and meet specific needs. Leading naval architect Patrick Banfield, known for his work on the Wally tender and Fjord, designs the hull and propulsion combination for each tender, optimising garage space and overall performance. Through extensive hydrodynamic and weight studies, each tender is meticulously balanced and tested before precision moulds are cut by 5 axis milling machines. Once a project is complete, the moulds are destroyed, ensuring that each tender is truly one-of-a-kind.
The craftsmanship at Tenderworks is extraordinary, with craftsmen who possess an exquisite eye for detail and a passion for creating exclusive products. These craftsmen have worked on a wide range of boats, from America Cup winners to iconic superyachts, showcasing their expertise and dedication. Regardless of the materials used, whether it be carbon fibre, traditional wood, or high-quality leather, Tenderworks craftsmen have access to the best materials available on the market.
Tenderworks also boasts a strong partnership with superyacht builders, working closely with them to ensure that the tenders are a perfect fit both physically and operationally. In fact, their collaboration with Feadship goes above and beyond, with Feadship monitoring the design and construction of the boats destined for their customers. Such trust and endorsement allows Tenderworks to proudly put the Feadship name on their tenders.
Tenderworks' commitment to excellence and innovative design has earned them recognition in the industry. In 2018, they won the “Best Tender Design” award for their limousine tender, Faith, at the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards. This tender impressed the subcommittee members with its ability to seamlessly match the design ethos of its mothership and transform effortlessly from a limousine to an open vessel.
Additionally, in 2022, Tenderworks received the “Tender of the Year” award for the 14-metre Tender Limousine Viva. Notable features of this tender include a distinctive T-top, sunpads, and low-profile seating for 12. However, it is the luxurious interiors of this sleek vessel that truly set it apart from others in its class.
