After a careful review of the luxury yacht market and the habits of yacht owners, Boston’s Nouvoyage company decided to submit a new idea: the amphibious limousine Tender 33, a spectacular 33 foot-long vehicle with a capacity for 12 passengers and two crew members, which can reach a top speed of 84 mph on land and 28 knots on water. With utter luxury inside, a controlled temperature cabin and even a toilet on board, this stunning limousine becomes the perfect vessel for those who wish to travel in style while their yacht is anchored at sea, away from the dock. The estimated $2 million price makes the Nouvoyage Tender 33 limousine one of the most exclusive amphibious vehicles in today’s market.

Made to order for the super-yacht Blade of MMGI Shipyard, this spectacular amphibian dinghy was built in New Zealand by NZ Tenders, in collaboration with naval architect Georgi Yankov from GY Boat Design Allure Marine. The goal was to create an amphibious vehicle that would look like a sports car. The surprising result was the GT Tender, capable of a speed of 35 knots on water and just 100 mph on land. Built using lightweight carbon fiber and with 25 feet in length, this amphibious vehicle can accommodate 6 passengers and boasts a host of amenities such as a fridge, sink, side windows, ramp with stairs to provide access to water and for wheelchairs. This is definitely a whim worthy of its impressive mother vessel.■
