As the superyacht industry navigates its way into an environmentally-savvy future, we look at the electric tenders skimming the horizon.
Probably the most versatile of the electric tenders available, the fully electric, carbon fiber DutchCraft DC25 features a modular deck design allowing for a range of uses. Whether transporting provisions, shuttling guests (capacity 12), carrying large equipment or serving as a dive boat or sportfisher, it really is an all-rounder. Additionally, the bow has a hinged door, allowing guests to walk directly onto the beach when going ashore to dine.

Made from 100% carbon fiber, the Candela C-7 electric hydro-foiling tender boasts a superior range and speeds of up to 30 knots. Skimming on the surface, the hydrofoil produces no wake, leaving the marine life in peace, and is so quiet it doesn’t disturb others in or on the water.

Blending with nature, the Eelex 8000 is built using low impact materials with a hull made out of flax fabric and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with a cork deck. Aside from its serious electric eco-credentials, the boat’s software can be used to operate a built-in Sea Lab, which collects environmental data from the local waters, including PH and oxygen levels.
