Hodgdon Tenders has unveiled two new limousine tenders designed in collaboration with Espen Øino International.
The tenders share a common hull design that can be offered in either a forward or aft helm deck configuration.
“We are excited to have developed a tender with modern styling to go alongside our time-tested classic Venetian line,” said Audrey Hodgdon, Hodgdon Tenders MD. “In addition to designing a beautiful boat, Espen and his team understand how the tender gets used by owners, guests, and crew and a lot of thought went into functionality and practicality.”
Both layouts can be built from 9m to 11 meters and will blend EOI’s styling with Hodgdon’s build.

The forward helm configuration allows for maximum seating inside of the guest cabin, while the aft helm configuration offers forward and aft outside seating and a bow ramp for beachlanding or boarding.
Both versions include an integrated hull side window, boarding, and what is described as a luxurious interior.
A retracting roof and aft bulkhead allow for an open boat experience.
The tenders can accommodate a single or twin engines, depending upon the owner’s preference.
Hodgdon Yachts, based in Maine, US, has a portfolio that includes superyachts, a pre-preg carbon fibre sailboat, a number of vessels built for the US Navy and two carbon fibre high-performance motor yachts.
