Challenge to build 6.3M superyacht tender under 650kg

The owner of Nilaya, a 113ft Baltic Yacht had the desire for a 6+ meter tender with a strong engine, however the maximum weight of such a boat should not exceed 650kg of full operational weight because of the maximum safe load capacity of 700kg of the lifting equipment. Xtenders are constructed extremely light weight, so eXtreme Tenders accepted the challenge, even with the condition in a performance contract that eXtreme Tenders would be penalized with 1000 euro for every kilogram that the tender would exceed the 650kg, without compromising on horse power and quality of hull, tubes and interior.

Finally a 6.3M Xtender was delivered with a custom foldable console, an outboard 115 HP Yamaha engine, and within the required limits with a full operational weight of 623kg.
