Yachtwerft Meyer is celebrating 30 successful years since its foundation. A name synonymous with quality, reliability and innovation in the tender market, the German brand's popular Silverline, CC-Line and full custom projects have catered to various needs, with an approach that ensures customer's needs are central to the entire process.
To sustain its innovation for the next 30 years, Yachtwerft Meyer has joined forces with Zodiac Milpro Group. This collaboration will enhance their research and development capabilities and expand their international presence.
"At Yachtwerft Meyer, our mission is to redefine luxury and innovation in the world of yacht tenders," says Patrick Bloch, CEO of Yachtwerft Meyer. "For 30 years, we have been dedicated ourselves to crafting exceptional vessels that blend unparalleled design, cutting-edge technology and meticulous German craftsmanship."
To celebrate its business anniversary, Yachtwerft Meyer has launched a semi-custom series called Impetus. Designed with a more "aggressive, modern aesthetic", the range offers larger tenders ranging from 10.5 to 12 metres in length. Accommodating up to 20 guests in both open and limousine configurations, BOAT explores how these boats make an ideal superyacht tender, chase boat or day boat.
Open to the elements
The open configuration allows guests to feel the boat's energy more intensely, being exposed to the elements and creating a deeper connection to their surroundings. Boarding is made easy with removable cushions on the aft platform and the option of retractable side boarding steps. Guests can enjoy deep, comfortable seating forward, with various options including an awning. Aft of the ergonomic helm station, there is a space that could serve as sunpads or storage for water toys, followed by an electric, movable swim platform at the stern. Additionally, there is an option to add a bar with a refrigerator and storage, and a dayhead for added convenience.
Limousine luxury
The closed, limousine option boasts sharp exterior lines and easy aft boarding, leading into an exterior seating area that can double as a sunpad or storage for water toys. A sliding door ushers you into the comfortable interior cabin, which features a sheltered, closed space with a two-metre height. Available in either aft or forward helm stations, the limousine configuration offers ergonomic seating in various formats, electrical sun blinds, a full AV system and wine cooling. For those moments when guests want to feel more connected to the elements, an opening glass roof provides the perfect solution.
Semi-custom flexibility
The semi-custom benefits of Impetus mean faster build times and varied deck and interior layout options to suit the owner's preferences and match the aesthetic of the mothership when used alongside a superyacht. Owners can choose from a variety of interior and exterior colour schemes, logos and upholstery options to create a truly personalised vessel. "Every boat we deliver is thought of as a masterpiece and a perfect match to the mothership," Bloch explains. "Our international team of dedicated craftsmen, designers and engineers strives to exceed our clients' expectations by delivering custom-made yacht tenders that reflect their unique vision and lifestyle."
Powered by up to two Volvo D6-440 engines, the boats can achieve a top speed of 40 knots. Additional features include the option for a carbon stand-up shower aft, a carbon rocket launcher aft for fishing rod storage and underwater lights to enhance nighttime aesthetics and visibility. In line with Yachtwerft Meyer’s commitment to sustainable initiatives, the use of natural materials, such as flax fibre and cork, can be incorporated. There is an option of choosing hybrid or fully electric drives.
"Looking ahead, we are fiercely dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation, setting new standards in the industry and continuously transforming the future of yacht tenders with groundbreaking designs and unmatched quality," Bloch adds.
