Cockwells Modern & Classic Boatbuilding is to offer discerning visitors to the Monaco Yacht Show an exclusive opportunity to view the 9.8m Limousine Tender that the leading British bespoke boatbuilder has created for Four Seasons Yachts.

This custom-built tender is one of a pair to have been commissioned by the ultra-luxury maritime hospitality brand that brings the renowned Four Seasons hotel experience to the ocean.

Exuding refined artistry, exceptional comfort and opulent indulgence, this extraordinary tender will be exhibited at the Principality’s annual showcase for the superyacht industry, in the spectacular setting of Port Hercule, between 23 and 26 September.

With rich afromosia timber and hand-finished internal carpentry, the sweeping curve of an expansive glass roof, a spacious aft deck and the capacity for eight guests to relax in splendour, the exquisite design of this tender perfectly matches the timeless styling of the mothership.

Reaching speeds of up to 35 knots, guests can be sure of an impeccably smooth ride aboard this vessel, which features twin Yanmar 4LV 250hp engines coupled to a joystick control for pinpoint accuracy and manoeuvrability, together with a Seakeeper to provide enhanced stability. Custom-cast stainless-steel detailing, ambient lighting and a self-launching anchoring system offer considered practicality and elegant amenity.

Luxurious leather seating lines the climate-controlled cabin whilst the full-width sunroof with sliding centre sections offers breathtaking views as well as an awe-inspiring sense of connection with the ocean. A seamlessly integrated audio system, touchscreen chart plotter, minibar, refrigerator with ice facility and showstopping champagne service that emerges from a hidden cabinet at the push of a button complete the interior scene.

It was an absolute honour to work alongside the client’s team to create this highly customised design that combines understated elegance with cutting-edge technology and remarkable performance to achieve the level of matchless quality that Four Seasons Yachts’ elite clientele expects.

Limousine tenders have been traditionally viewed as utilitarian shuttle boats tasked with ferrying guests from superyacht to shore, but in response to Four Seasons Yachts’ brief to imbue our design with spectacle and surprise, we have created two exemplary limousines that enable unrivalled access to sheltered harbours and secluded coves in some of the most idyllic locations in the world.
