What a chase tender needs

01Speed to keep up and make quick runs ashore
02Comfort and shade for guests
03A finish that matches the superyacht
04Easy handling, ideally with joystick docking

Why Bekkers fits

Bekkers Yachts makes stainless steel work for Dutch superyacht yards, so the finish level is the same. Colours, materials and details can be specified to match the main yacht.
