Tasmanian custom tender manufacturer Van Diemen Luxury Craft has been commissioned to build a bespoke 36 foot tender for an Australian client.
The Van Diemen designed tender which we reported on here, is due for delivery in early 2016, will be built in collaboration with Steber International. It will feature seating for twelve guests and two crew, an air-conditioned cabin when in limousine mode, gyroscopic stabilisation and active ride control, touch-screen digital switching and control and a twin V8 inboard V-drive arrangement to provide minimal cabin noise and vibration.
Also featured will be a rear folding transom for ease of boarding, full amenities for passenger comfort and Van Diemen’s patented roof and window system which allows the one tender to transform from a limousine to an open boat in under 30 seconds.
The Van Diemen 36 foot tender will be the latest in their range of custom convertible limousine tenders, all of which feature the unique roof and window system. Vessels range between 18-40 feet with potential to develop larger designs if desired.
