The Value in Maintaining Your Superyacht Tender
Superyacht tenders allow you and your support crew to get the most out of your vessel, so it only makes sense to ensure they’re well-maintained and cared for. While yacht tenders may not be as glamorous as the vessels they serve, they are an essential part of the superyacht experience, helping to ensure all visitors enjoy a hassle-free excursion from shore to deck.
Extensive exposure to the elements and the ocean will wear on your yacht tender over time, but severe damage can be easily mitigated through regular maintenance and repairs. Taking the time to check over your superyacht tender once per month can help you to spot and take note of any emerging issues, all of which our yacht tender experts will be happy to address.
From small-scale improvements like repainting and reupholstering, through modernisation and usability enhancements, all the way up to comprehensive refurbishments and refits for superyacht tenders, we’ll work with you to draw up a simple, budget-friendly plan. You come to us? We come to you? Either way, your yacht tender will look brand new within six months.
What to Expect From a Super Yacht Tender Refit
Superyacht tender refitting projects can vary in scope depending on the current condition of your tender yacht, your plans and your budget. In some cases, simple yacht tender repairs may be most appropriate, focusing on superficial wear to things like upholstery or paintwork, though in others a more comprehensive superyacht tender refurbishment may be necessary.
Our knowledgeable professionals will work the job around your needs, future plans and the current state of your megayacht tenders, ensuring each tender yacht receives the care and attention it needs to be brought back to its former glory and well-protected for years to come.
Some key aspects of a typical tender restoration, refit and refurbishment project will include:
Hull & deck repairs
Electrical system upgrades
Interior refurbishment
Engine servicing
Performance & handling upgrades
Cosmetic modifications
The Camber Group’s superyacht refit services can be adjusted to meet your needs and take into account as many or as few aspects of a typical refurbishment as required. Contact our team to begin planning your project and help us to bring your superyacht tenders back to life.
Superyacht Tender Refit FAQs
What is a superyacht tender?
A superyacht tender is a secondary vessel used to provide support, services and other forms of assistance to a superyacht. Yacht tenders are much smaller than the vessels they service, and can be used for many different purposes, including transportation, entertainment and the storing of bulky equipment.
How are superyacht tenders powered?
A standard yacht tender may be powered by oars or an outboard motor, while a luxury yacht tender may use inboard motors or water jets for increased speed and better manoeuvrability.
Can superyacht tenders be refurbished or do they need to be replaced?
Superyacht tenders can be refurbished, in fact, this option often being more cost-effective than purchasing a new vessel. A yacht tender refurbishment can be as simple as replacing worn upholstery or upgrading electrical equipment, or may take the form of a full-scale yacht tender refit performed alongside a more comprehensive superyacht refit and refurbishment.
How long does it take The Camber Group to complete a yacht tender refit?
The Camber Group can complete a full-scale superyacht tender refit within six months, often at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new yacht tender.
Project overview











“Julian and the Team arranged the collection of our Novurania Chase tender for a partial refurbishment. The time scale was short to encompass all of the work necessary before the season and everything was completed on time on budget and to a very high level of finish. The best compliment was from one of our deck crew who stated – ‘I didn’t think we were getting a new one?!’ Enough said.”
- Owen Jones, Captain: MY FLAG
“Julian and the team stripped our Chase 27 down to its bare bones and rebuilt it like a new boat. We were very impressed with their attention to detail, especially, with their documentation, progress reports, and extremely detailed accounting. It’s difficult to find a quality company like this these days.”
— Rowan Murdoch, Captain: M/Y ARIENCE
