Finally! A luxury tender.

Walker Bay Venture 14

Apr 11, 2019

The Walker Bay Venture 14 claims to be the world’s first luxury Explorer Sport Tender. It is designed for the explorer cruiser who wants to get the most out of their time on the water and considers their tender an extension of their yacht. For any cruiser the tender is the quickest and easiest way of getting around but for many they use it for much more.

Serious cruisers, sport fishing yachts and explorers are passionate about a number of fun and interesting activities such as exploring, fishing, diving or snorkelling, towing sports like skiing or tubing, driving and relaxing.

The builder has integrated features you would normally find on larger tenders or dedicated sport boats into a stylish and very comfortable design to make the most out the activities you are passionate about. The Venture 14 is the only 14′ tender that offers so many versatile driving positions. The Stand Up console with flip up bolster, deep heel recess, tilt steering and top mount throttle give the driver three separate driving positions. A true comfortable Stand Up driving position is important if the weather gets rough while you are out exploring. You also get a better view of what is under and around the boat if you want to get up close to the shore than if you are sitting.

The rear seat in the Venture 14 is wider than any other boat in its class. The cushions are thick and the deep seats and extra legroom allow the driver and rear seat passenger to fully stretch their legs out.

The Venture 14 is scheduled to begin shipping to Canadian dealers in May. The V14 with Pedestal Console Boat should come in just over $25K Cdn while the V14 with side seat console aims just over 26K. Power and taxes etc. additional, of course. Check the video here.

Sailing into the Future at Antigua Sailing Week

By Mathew Channer

“Standby tack,” Canadian sailor Katy Campbell orders. The crew scrambles over the sheet lines and braces on the deck.

“Three, two, one, tack!”

I wait until the bow turns into the wind and the headsail snaps over, then crawl over the cabin top of Panacea X to the now windward side. The trim team smoothly sheets on the headsail and a competitor vessel shoots past our stern, feet away, as our Solana 45 beats eastward along Antigua’s south coast.
