Bespoke Yacht Tenders & SOLAS Rescue Boats

Custom solutions for Yacht owners who demand more

At Boating Matters, we understand that superyacht owners often seek unique, one-off tenders and SOLAS rescue boats that cannot be found on the open market. Whether it’s to fit a specific garage, complement the yacht’s design, or deliver unprecedented performance, our bespoke solutions are tailored to your exact requirements.

With over 25 years of experience managing the design and build of bespoke tenders and rescue boats, we guide clients through the entire process. From concept and design to the successful delivery of the finished vessel. Our experience spans a wide variety of materials, propulsion types, and hull designs, ensuring that each project meets the highest standards of safety, performance, and aesthetics.

Examples of bespoke projects

Our bespoke builds demonstrate the range and innovation possible for superyacht owners:

  • Carbon Fibre 6m Diesel Outboard SOLAS Landing Craft RB – an industry-first design combining lightweight construction with full SOLAS compliance.
  • Glass Fibre 8m Deep-V Hulled Military-Style SOLAS RB – achieving speeds up to 56 knots while maintaining rescue functionality.
  • Aluminium 4m Electric Outboard Tender with Folding Transom – designed to fit in a particularly confined yacht garage without compromising performance.
  • Aluminium 4.2m SOLAS RB – custom-fitted to a specific deck opening for rapid deployment.
  • New Production Tender Series – created in collaboration with Zodiac International, including the ProJet, Eclipse, and ProLuxe superyacht tender ranges.

These examples illustrate our ability to merge creativity, technical expertise, and regulatory compliance to produce truly bespoke solutions.

Why choose a bespoke Tender or SOLAS Rescue Boat?

Superyacht owners increasingly demand tenders and rescue boats that are tailored, versatile, and multifunctional. A bespoke vessel allows you to:

  • Match your yacht’s style and finish exactly, maintaining aesthetic continuity.
  • Maximise performance and efficiency with hull shapes, propulsion systems, and materials optimised for your operational needs.
  • Comply with SOLAS or other regulations while integrating comfort and usability for guests or crew.
  • Utilise space efficiently with custom dimensions or folding mechanisms for restricted garages.

Bespoke yachts and SOLAS boats are not just functional, they are works of craftsmanship, created to reflect your yacht’s unique character and operational requirements.
