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.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
