Tenders: Luxury RIB for Bigger Yachts

Argos Nautics RIB Tender

Nov 24, 2022

Many consider a tender a utilitarian means to an end—mere transportation. Argos Nautic’s RIB tender, such as its semi-custom GT14, is statement about the yacht. With room for seven adults, the 13′ 10″ outboard-powered vessel reflects the same levels of refined quality and luxurious comfort as its mothership.

Yacht stylist Patrizio Facheris designed the GT14 with graceful lines that convey both a sense of tradition and modernity. With a 6′ 10″ beam, the Argos Nautic can be configured to accommodate five or seven passengers without compromising ergonomics or aesthetics.

Ideal as a tender for yachts ranging from 70′, the GT14 is only 925 lbs. fully rigged, making it suitable for storage on davits, swim platforms or on deck with a crane. With a stowed height of only 57″ and a LOA of 15′ with the engine mounted, it easily fits in most stern garages of vessels over 75′.

A broad palette of colors, patterns and textures are chosen by the owner to build a boat of unmatched singularity, whether it’s a one-of-a-kind showpiece or a mirrored image of its mothership.

While renowned for its striking designs and quality construction, Argos Nautic has a passion for performance. With its standard 60 hp or optional 70 hp outboard, the GT14 will top 30 mph and 36 mph, respectively.

The Argos Nautic GT14 is NMMA Certified to ABYC standards. From bow to stern, only the finest components are chosen to complement the tender. Plus, a wide range of optional equipment can configure the vessel to meet the exacting needs of its owner. Well appointed, the Argos Nautic GT14 starts at US$30,540.

There is always a lot of action going on at boat shows, but I was a bit startled at the Miami show to be walking along checking out exhibitors when just to my right I heard the music of Jimmy Buffett start up and looked over to see a small machine that was blinking away and lighting up like a robot from Star Wars.

Pursuit S268 Sport CC

By Andy Adams

The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.

Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.
