SUPERYACHT TENDERS

Naiad's ability to custom design high-performance eye-catching RIBs has drawn the attention of the superyacht market around the globe.  The combination of our custom design services, stylish appeal and renowned sea handling and safety makes a Naiad an impressive tender.

Naiad can take an idea and craft it into an individual tender to meet the needs of our customer. Many Naiad yacht tenders are one-off builds, designed specifically for a superyacht and reflecting the unique characteristics of that mother craft.

Designing to the Superyacht  

One of the keys to Naiad's success is our ability to design the tender size to a custom length and width, maximising the tender size whilst ensuring it is a good fit with its on board storage space.  

Selecting the correct engine and drive option is very important for a superyacht tender to achieve the best balance of speed and carrying capacity for the size of the boat. Other options to consider in your design include seat layout; boarding options; landing platforms; toilets; cabins and consoles; dive bottle holders; storage and canopies. 

Once the functional design elements are taken care of, we then work with you to make it look stunning. Whatever your vision, Naiad will work with you to design a tender that handles beautifully, works hard, looks fantastic and is exciting and safe to drive.

Storage in abundance

Always in control.

• Folding T-top

Low-level transom access

Multiple boarding options, tailored driving position, ambient deck lighting, world-class performance, with 235 litres of storage, you can take your world with you..

Sometimes you need to take your world with you when travelling. With 235 litres of onboard storage - from an easy-access unit behind the helm seat to port and starboard lockers - you’ll never be short of space on the EvoJet.

Single lever throttle delivers pinpoint accuracy at any speed.

The EvoJet’s ultra-modern helm and marketing-leading jet propulsion system gives you unrivalled pinpoint accuracy at low or high speeds.

Folding T-top option

Carbon fibre t-top folds down to allow fitments into small garages..

Our clever carbon fibre T-Top option provides abundant shade to the helm and passengers. Whilst its folding mechanism keeps the tender’s height ultra low to enable tight garage fitments.

A folding middle seat at the back of the boat makes stepping onto your tender safe and simple.

When at sea, the seat can fold down to accommodate a waterski pole.

Glide from yacht to tender with ease.

Thanks to low level boarding platforms and perfectly positioned boarding poles.

Do you prefer driving seated or standing?

The EvoJet’s rotating helm bolster lets you do both - and makes you feel locked into the boat, whichever you choose.

Concealed LED deck lighting makes evening boarding a breeze.

And when the sun sets, it makes the EvoJet look even more spectacular.

Powered by the Yanmar 4LV common rail diesel engine, the EvoJet is effortlessly powerful, graceful and responsive.

And with service representatives across the world, you’ll have support wherever your jet tender takes you.

YACHT BUYER

“It still has that punch, that instantaneous jet drive wallop that I'm so used to from the smaller Williams.

It's just how sophisticated it feels, so big and comfortable and easy. It's definitely got that wonderful Williams agility and the driving environment is really lovely. It's a really enjoyable boat to drive.”

Guam-based tender helps Australians prepare for nuclear-powered submarines

U.S. and Australian sailors stand in formation as the submarine tender USS Emory S. Land prepares to moor at HMAS Stirling, a navy base near Perth, Australia, Aug. 16, 2024. (Darek Leary/U.S. Air Force)

An American submarine tender recently arrived in Western Australia, where sailors are training to service U.S. and British nuclear-powered fast-attack boats under a mutual defense pact.

The USS Emory S. Land, a Guam-based tender crewed by American and Australian sailors, pulled into naval base HMAS Stirling, near Perth, on Aug. 16, the Navy announced in a news release that day.

The crew will perform maintenance on a U.S. nuclear-powered submarine over several weeks, the release said, without naming the boat.

“We are unable to provide information on future operations due to operations security concerns,” 7th Fleet spokesman Lt. Jamie Moroney said by email Wednesday.

The 2021 AUKUS agreement — so named for Australia, the United Kingdom and United States — aims to position one British and four U.S. nuclear-powered boats as Submarine Rotational Force-West at HMAS Stirling, according to the Australian Defence Department website.

The defense pact’s first phase is on track to bring the vessels there on a temporary basis within three years, Australia’s nonpartisan Lowy Institute reported last month.

The Emory S. Land’s visit marks a step toward Australia becoming able to operate, maintain and support a fleet of conventionally armed, nuclear-powered boats, according to the Navy release.

“For the last six weeks we’ve had a team of U.S. Sailors embedded in the [Fleet Support Unit] West workshops at HMAS Stirling,” Capt. Brent Spillner, commander of the submarine tender, said in the release.

More than 30 Australian sailors, supervised by U.S. personnel, will perform submarine maintenance. Tasks will include replacing a mast and a hydraulic valve, along with the simulated removal of a pump weighing more than 3,500 pounds, the release said.

It will be the first time Australians have maintained a U.S. nuclear-powered submarine in Australian waters, Spillner said in the release.

“This is an important milestone and learning opportunity as we work together to establish Submarine Rotational Force–West, where both U.S. and UK submarines will regularly transit through HMAS Stirling, with maintenance and logistics assisted by Australian personnel,” he said.

Australian and U.S. sailors have worked side by side on the Emory S. Land to maintain U.S. boats on Guam, Cmdr. Derek Fletcher, repair officer aboard the vessel, said in the release.

Guam is home to the Navy’s only submarine tenders — Emory S. Land and USS Frank Cable — as well as Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarines.

The maintainers will also work with the crew of a visiting British navy Astute-class submarine, according to former Australian assistant defense secretary Ross Babbage.

“Essential knowledge and skills gained will equip Australia’s naval personnel to service, maintain and repair the Royal Australian Navy’s own nuclear-powered submarines when they enter service in the early 2030s,” he said by email Monday.

Australia will eventually operate its own submarine tender, a U.S. security expert based in New Zealand, Paul Buchanan, said by email that day.

Navy submarine tenders will continue to support U.S. and British submarines rotating through HMAS Stirling in the lead up to deployment of the AUKUS boats, Buchanan wrote.

“Given the unique qualities of SSNs (nuclear-powered submarines), it is likely that Australia will commission a tender capable of handling the unique requirements of the SSN platforms as well as those of conventional subs,” he said.

Who was onboard tech mogul Mike Lynch's Bayesian yacht?

Topic: Disasters, Accidents and Emergency Incidents

Six people are missing, including a man dubbed the British Bill Gates, after a luxury yacht sank off the Sicilian coast.

British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch — freshly acquitted from a decade-long trial — had invited his work colleagues aboard a trip through the Mediterranean coast when a freak storm saw the yacht sink within moments.

Fifteen people escaped from the sinking vessel. The search for the missing continues.

Here's what we know so far: 

What happened?

The Italian coastguard said the yacht — the Bayesian — was anchored off the shore of port city Porticello, near the Sicilian capital Palermo, when it was hit by bad weather sometime after 4am on Monday, local time. 

Eyewitnesses said it vanished quickly beneath the waves shortly before dawn.

Managers of the sailing vessel Bayesian, Camper & Nicholsons, confirmed to the ABC that the Bayesian encountered severe weather and subsequently sank. 

"Our priority is assisting with the ongoing search and providing all necessary support to the rescued passengers and crew," they said. 

"The wind was very strong. Bad weather was expected, but not of this magnitude," a coastguard official told Reuters.

Sicily's civil protection agency head, Salvo Cocina, said a waterspout — a tornado over the water — could have struck the yacht.

"They were in the wrong place at the wrong time," Mr Cocina added. 

Storms and heavy rainfall had swept down Italy in recent days after weeks of scorching heat, lifting the temperature of the Mediterranean Sea to record levels and raising the risk of extreme weather conditions, experts told Reuters.

"The sea surface temperature around Sicily was around 30 degrees Celsius, which is almost 3 degrees more than normal. This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms," meteorologist Luca Mercalli said.

Captain Karsten Borner of the Sir Robert Baden Powell vessel told journalists he noticed the Bayesian nearby during the storm, but after it calmed he saw a red flare and realised the ship had simply disappeared.

Mr Borner said he and a crew member boarded their tender and found a lifeboat with 15 people, some of them injured, who they then took aboard and alerted the coast guard.

Search crews, including helicopters and divers, are continuing to search the wreckage, lying at a depth of 49 metres.

Specialist divers reached the ship on Monday but access was limited due to objects in the way, the fire brigade said.

The UK Marine Accident Investigation Branch is deploying a team of four inspectors to Italy to conduct a preliminary assessment.

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development office said it was "providing consular support to a number of British nationals and their families".

Sicilian prosecutors have also opened an investigation into the event. 

Who is missing?

Lawyer Chris Morvillo (left), entrepreneur Mike Lynch, and Morgan Stanley chairman Jonathan Bloomer are among the missing. 

There were 12 passengers and 10 crew members aboard the yacht. 

Mr Cocina said the crew and passengers hailed from a variety of countries, including Britain, the United States, Antigua, France, Germany, Ireland, Myanmar, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Spain.

Of the 22, one man is confirmed dead and another six people are still missing. 

They are believed to be inside the hull, fire rescue spokesperson Luca Cari said.

Fabio Cefalù, a fisherman who said he responded to a flare from the vessel but found it sunk, said he stayed at the site for three hours without finding anyone.

"I think they are inside, all the missing people," he said.

Rescue teams recovered the body of the yacht's onboard chef on Monday, identified as Antiguan citizen Ricardo Thomas.

The still missing people include: 

• Mr Lynch's 18-year-old daughter, Hannah 
• Jonathan Bloomer, chairman of global financial services company Morgan Stanley International
• Chris Morvillo , a lawyer at the British multinational law firm Clifford Chance. He worked on Mr Lynch's lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard
• The identities of the remaining two missing are still unconfirmed

Who was rescued? 

Fifteen people escaped from the sinking ship. 

Eight have been hospitalised and others were taken to a nearby hotel.

Among those rescued were:

• Mr Lynch's wife, Angela Bacares, who was the owner of the yacht
• Charlotte Golunski and her one-year-old daughter, Sofia. Ms Golunski is a partner at Mr Lynch's firm, Invoke Capital. She says she momentarily lost hold of Sofia in the water but managed to hold her up above the waves until the lifeboat was inflated
• Ms Golunski's husband James Emslie
• New Zealand captain of the yacht James Catfield. He told Italian newspaper La Repubblica the crew didn't see the storm coming
• A lone Dutch citizen was identified by the Dutch foreign ministry as being rescued, but was not identified

Who is Mike Lynch?

Mr Lynch, once hailed as Britain’s king of technology, was recently freed from a Silicon Valley lawsuit that tarnished his legacy. 

The 59-year-old Cambridge-educated mathematician created Autonomy , a search engine that could pore through emails and other internal business documents to help companies find vital information more quickly. 

He received the OBE for his innovation in 2006. 

He then sold the software to Hewlett-Packard (HP) for $US11 billion ($16 billion) in 2011, with Mr Lynch personally netting $US800 million. 

HP valued Autonomy at $US46 billion ($68 billion) in the months leading up to the deal.

But the deal quickly turned sour after he was accused of forging the software's financial records to make the sale.

As part of a decades-long legal battle against HP, Mr Lynch was extradited to the UK on criminal fraud charges. 

He steadfastly denied any wrongdoing, asserting that he was being made a scapegoat for HP's own bungling. 

He was eventually cleared of all charges in June this year. 

Although he avoided a possible prison sentence, Lynch still faced a bill from a civil case in London that HP mostly won during 2022. Damages haven't been determined in that case, but HP is seeking $US4 billion. 

Following the San Francisco trial, Mr Lynch said he would return to the UK and do what he loved most: "[being with] my family and innovating in my field."

The holiday appeared to be something of a celebration after Mr Lynch's acquittal, with guests including some of the people who had stood by Lynch throughout the ordeal.

In a separate act of tragedy, Mr Lynch's co-defendant in the trial, Stephen Chamberlain, died on Monday, after a road accident left him critically injured.

Mr Chamberlain — Autonomy's former vice-president of finance alongside Mr Lynch — was hit by a car in Cambridgeshire on Saturday morning and had been placed on life support. 

What is the Bayesian?

The luxury yacht is 56m long sailboat, with a 75m mast labelled as the tallest aluminium mast in the world.

It was previously named Salute when it flew under a Dutch flag.

The yacht, built in 2008 by the Italian firm Perini Navi, can accommodate up to 12 guests in six suites and a crew of 10, according to online specialist yacht sites. It was last refitted in 2020.

Online charter sites listed it for rent for up to 195,000 euros (about $AU 321,000) a week.

The ship also won a string of awards for its design. 

Ms Golunski said the yacht had travelled through the Aeolian Islands, Milazzo and Cefalù before sinking. 

It is likely the yacht's name would resonate with Mr Lynch because his PhD thesis and the software that made his fortune was based on Bayesian theory.
