Italian designer Valerio Rivellini has unveiled details of the 9.6-metre explorer tender Iceman, designed as a support vessel for Cantiere delle Marche (CDM)'s 44.3-metre Flexplorer 146.
The tender is capable of operating in all latitudes and also includes a 50-centimetre draught for shallow cruising.
Iceman will be stowed in the stern of the Flexplorer 146 and will also be capable of storing a second, 4.4-metre tender on its own stern. This space-saving solution will allow for greater movement on the Flexplorer’s main deck. Renderings reveal a black hull and robust lines that suit the Flexplorer’s "go-anywhere" design.
The explorer tender can carry up to 10 passengers. In addition to the second tender, Iceman also houses all available water toys for the Flexplorer, including two sea bobs, two 6-metre canoes, four Aerofoils, fishing equipment and scuba diving equipment with six cylinders.
Iceman is powered by a 370 HP Yanmar engine.
The first Flexplorer Maverick was launched in November. There are a further two units being built at the Italian shipyard with estimated delivery in 2024 and 2025.
