They’ve got so popular in the last few years that we have even seen chase tenders almost as big as the mother ship. They are so cool that all owners want them and all crew want to work on yachts that have them. So, here are five chase tenders that;
Carry lots of Guests
Get places quickly
Look VERY cool
Cost a LOT to buy.

Better known as the “Daddy of them all”. The Windy SR52 was designed by the late Ed Dubois and released in 2010. She has since been voted Chase boat of the year and is the weapon of choice for many large Yachts.
Comfortable, Quick and manoeuvrable thanks to IPS drives the SR52 turns heads wherever she goes.

Pardo 50
From the same shipyard that build Grand Soleil Sailing Yachts the Pardo 50 is the flagship of the classy Pardo range. With a huge swim platform perfect for guest swimming trips plus the fact it has a garage that carries a Williams Minijet in its aft garage has to make it a contender.

Alen Yacht 55
Length: 15.3m
Power: 1200hp
Price: €1.25m
Alen yachts have been around for a while now. The 55 is much more of a cruiser than a high speed chase boat but, when it comes to style it is hard to beat. She is big (15.3m) comfortable and has a very sociable layout, perfect for day trips with guests.
Chaser 500R
Length: 15.3m
Power: 1200hp

Now this is one BIG RiB! At 50ft (15.3m) this is likely to be the biggest RiB in the anchorage. Not only that, at 50kts it is very quick, carries lots of people (12+) and has a range of over 400 nm. Nice
Novamarine 16M
Length: 16m
Power: 1100hp
Price: €1.1m
This Sicily based company has all the style you would expect from an Italian boat builder but also the pedigree to match. Novamarine build boats for various coastguards as well as Navy seals and so their boats are built strong. This one has triple Mercruiser diesels and over 1100hp! It’s a stunner, is built of Kevlar reinforced fibreglass and has a max speed of 40kts. Guaranteed to look cool alongside any yacht!
