Make an Entrance with a Beachable Limo Tender.
Waterfront: Storm the Beach

Yachting has seen the occasional novelty landing-craft–style tender and more recently the "limousine" tender—ultra high-end runabouts for nearshore excursions. Now Australian yacht-builder Vikal has combined the two into one slick and stylish means for making a splashy entrance.

Equipped to order with leather, air-conditioning and typical limo amenities, Vikal’s build is a luxurious way to get from ship to shore—with one big bonus: The bow of the composite-built boat opens out on hydraulic arms to create a passerelle that allows guests to walk through the bow seating area straight onto the beach. A choice of diesel engines is tied to waterjet propulsion, so the tender can maneuver in extremely shallow water.
