About Santasevera
Santasevera is an Italian dayboat and sport-yacht builder operating out of the Cantiere Navale di Santasevera shipyard on the Tyrrhenian coast north of Rome. The brand was introduced in 2023 and is built on the naval architecture and design of Francesco Guida - co-founder and the principal behind Guida Design Studio, whose CV includes senior roles at Sanlorenzo and the founding of Arcadia Yachts, as well as superyacht commissions beyond 260 feet.
The current production range spans three models - the 40, the 46, and the 52 - covering approximately 12.0m to 16.4m overall. The 52 (15.75m LOA, 5.05m beam) is the build we point owners and captains toward when the brief calls for a chase boat or owner tender that can carry real deck volume, sleep four below in two cabins, and still reach 30-plus knots under twin Volvo Penta IPS 800 power. The hull form draws on a lobster-boat-inspired profile: a hardtop set well forward, a lowering sheerline aft, and a wide, open cockpit that gives the boat the feel of a beach-club platform rather than a conventional motorboat.
Santasevera is distributed across Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Americas; SuperTenders Monaco lists the brand alongside Anvera and Novamarine in the superyacht support-craft segment. Bespoke configuration - layout, colour, upholstery, and propulsion choice - is standard practice at the yard, with no two hulls leaving the facility in identical specification.

The Best Chase Boats (2026)
The best chase boat is the independent hull that holds the mothership's transit speed and earns its keep on a real mission. This is the owner's-side shortlist by builder and size band, the specs that separate a real chase boat from a fast day boat, and the crewing reality.
ReadDavit Systems and Launch/Recovery for Tenders
The davit is the part of the tender programme nobody thinks about until it fails. This guide explains the launch-and-recovery options, the SWL and cost that drive them, and why the geometry is locked at yacht-concept stage before the tender is chosen.
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.
ReadTender Insurance, Survey and Sea Trials
A tender purchase that closes without a clean survey, a bound insurance policy and a documented sea trial has three failure modes baked in. This guide walks the acquisition sequence we use, what good looks like at each step, and the recurring traps.
