Boats have to be designed aquadynamic to move efficiently over water, and the Little Tender Yacht demonstrates just how modern motorboat design is taking the task all the more seriously.
Designer Niels Caris wanted not only to sculpt a hull that would slice through the sea, but he wished to rid the speedboat of any protruding pieces, down to the smallest details. Cleats and lighting fixtures have been worked into the form of the vessel so that they lie flush with the deck and the belly of the boat. Gentle curves define the Little Tender Yacht, and a strong and sinuous windshield extends the streamlined watercraft to give sheltered comfort to the driver and passenger.
