About beach landers
Beach landers are built around the moment the bow opens. Shallow draft, protected propulsion, and a usable bow ramp matter more than brochure speed. Use this category to compare new-build options and pre-owned inventory with the hull geometry, lifting arrangements, and deck layout your programme needs.
What is a beach lander?
A tender designed to drive its bow onto a beach, drop a ramp or door, and let guests step off onto dry sand. It needs three features together: a bow ramp or door, shallow draft (typically 0.4 to 0.6m at the propulsion), and a forward-trim hull that can plant on sand without slamming. The mainstream is 10 to 12 metres.
When is a beach lander the right tender?
It earns its keep on Mediterranean charter with frequent beach lunches, Caribbean and Bahamas anchorage-to-anchorage cruising, and expedition programmes where the beach is the only landing point. It is the wrong second tender for a yacht that mostly visits commercial ports.
How much does a beach lander cost?
9 to 10.5m semi-custom 600,000 to 1,400,000 EUR; 10.5 to 12.5m semi-custom or custom 1,400,000 to 2,800,000 EUR; 12.5 to 14m custom 2,800,000 to 5,500,000 EUR, the largest often with a limousine-grade interior aft of the ramp deck.
What propulsion do beach landers use?
Twin waterjet is dominant, zero exposed underwater geometry, instant reverse, and it dries out cleanly, with surface-piercing drives or twin outboards on smaller hulls. A conventional shaft-drive boat is not a beach lander, and sterndrives take the grounding load so are rarely the right answer.
Who builds beach landers?
A concentrated segment: Wajer, Ribco and Sacs for RIB-format beach landers, Castoldi Jet, Hodgdon, Pascoe International, Vanquish, Goldfish, and Iguana Yachts for the specialist amphibious format. For most programmes a conventional waterjet beach lander is the right answer.

The Complete Guide to Buying a Superyacht Tender
Most tender purchases go wrong in the brief, not the build. This guide walks the buying process end to end, brief first, garage envelope second, propulsion third, yard shortlist fourth, contract fifth, the way we run it for owners.
ReadTender Garage Sizing: Matching Tender to Mothership
The tender garage is the most expensive box on the yacht to get wrong, once built, stretching it means cutting structure. This guide works backwards from the tender envelope through the seven dimensions that actually decide which boat fits.
ReadLead Times and Delivery: Planning Your Tender Build
Tender lead times are the single most under-planned variable in superyacht projects. This guide sets out the six phases of delivery, the realistic 2026 timing, 14 to 30 months for a custom build, 6 to 14 weeks for stock, and how to plan it.
