Superyacht Tenders & Toys Adds Yacht Carbon Offset
Superyacht Tenders & Toys has added Yacht Carbon Offset as an option for vessels with engines over 75 horsepower. That includes limousine tenders, chase boats, SOLAS rescue boats, and high-powered RIBs.
Owners will be able to use Yacht Carbon Offset to counteract the estimated greenhouse gas impact of 200 hours of use at cruising speed. Clients who charter the vessels can also opt for the offset.
“We recognize that yacht owners are becoming more environmentally conscious both in their businesses and their leisure time, but they don’t want to compromise on choice of tenders,” Claire Richardson of Superyacht Tenders & Toys stated in a press release. “This offers an alternative so that they can still enjoy high-powered tenders but also address their environmental impact if they wish.” 101 Sea-doo ergolock system WATER Blazing speed, sharp turns and top-line acceleration — how to corral all that power without getting tossed in the drink? Sea-Doo’s Ergolock system uses the body’s own shape and size (or “ergonomics”) to anchor (or “lock”) you onto your personal TOYS watercraft. From the molded saddle to the adjustable handlebars, Ergolock puts safety in the rider’s seat.
Flex Wakeboard The Byerly Buck Flex Wakeboard is built to catch major air off the back of the boat. Byerly, which has been a trusted name in the wakeboard world for more than a decade, has released the new Buck Flex Wakeboard. As the company puts it, in-house designers “found the Buck had more to offer than just boosting off wakes. Lay it up with some flex and incorporate our Perimiter CoEx Sidewall, and you have a durable shred for the cable.” Translation? The kids and grandkids will find the board to be twice as strong as a lot of others on the market, and you’ll enjoy the easy stowage that comes with this thin, lightweight design. Retail price: $749 for the 56D-inch model with clutch close toe boot.
If you are planning on chartering a superyacht then water toys are all part of the package. In recent years the “toy boxes” on luxury yachts have become increasingly varied and exotic. Whether your preference is for the speed of a jet ski or the more sedate pleasure of snorkeling among tropical fish, there is a water toy to delight every charter guest.
Personal watercraft Personal watercrafts — known as PWCs — are ubiquitous with a luxury yacht charter. Easy to learn how to ride, the PWC is like a waterborne motorcycle, but far safer. Fall off a PWC, and you just get a dunking. Most are designed to carry two or three passengers and can allow family members to zip around together for wet fun.
Inflatables A mega-yacht charter is likely to include a selection of inflatables that can be towed behind the tender. The banana boat is popular, allowing several guests to ride this bouncing, splashy tube that is the nautical version of a bucking bronco.
