The story
The custom Xtender 6.9m Beachlander was designed for the prestigious S/Y Aquijo; a 85m yacht by Oceanco and Vitters and is one of three tenders delivered for Aquijo by Xtenders. The 6.9m Beachlander is a versatile carbon superyacht shuttle tender. Following the latest trends in the yacht tender market, we developed a beachlanding bow mechanism that allows guests to embark to and from a beach in style and ease.
The lay-out is centred around a forward placed engine, which allowed us to extend the seating capacity and improve the comfort of guests. A new folding console design and square bow set-up further improves the deck lay-out and usability of the tender.
The heart of the tender is a single 260hp Yanmar diesel engine. With the complete boat weighing only 1400kg she smoothly accelerates up to 40 knots. Despite the central engine placement we managed to balance the weight distribution for the best performance and sea handling.
