A SUPERYACHT CAPTAIN’S PERSPECTIVE, RETHINKING THE ROLE OF THE TENDER

For captains navigating remote and demanding cruising grounds, the right tender can make all the difference, not just operationally, but experientially.

A captain of a 40-meter yacht operating between Baja California, the Sea of Cortez, and Central America recently shared how integrating the Iguana has transformed both guest experience and daily operations.

FROM LIMITATION TO FREEDOM

Traditional tenders often come with constraints—limited capacity, restricted storage, and operational complexity, especially when managing multiple guests and activities.

Introducing an amphibious tender alongside the yacht brings immediate flexibility, both for crew and guests.

With the ability to land directly on remote beaches, the yacht gains access to locations that would otherwise remain out of reach.

The Iguana has proven to be the perfect solution. It simplifies operations for the crew and offers guests a completely new experience.”

AMPHIBIOUS USES

AN OPERATIONAL TOOL... AND A GUEST EXPERIENCE ASSET

The Iguana Bow Rider quickly proves its value beyond first impressions. It simplifies beach setups, supports water toy deployment, and enhances guest transfers, all while expanding the range of possible activities, from private picnics to exploration and wildlife experiences.

A DEFINING EXPERIENCE FOR GUESTS

In regions with limited marina infrastructure, the impact is even more significant. The amphibious capability allows direct provisioning, simplified logistics, and greater autonomy at anchor.

Beyond operations, the Iguana becomes a highlight of the onboard experience. Guests are naturally drawn to it and often seek out the unique opportunities it enables. From accessing untouched beaches to creating unforgettable private moments, it enhances both the emotional and experiential value of a charter.

Guests absolutely love it. Some even ask if the Iguana will be onboard before confirming. Now that we’ve experienced it, it would be very difficult to go back.”

ENQUIRE

For captains operating in demanding cruising grounds, the conclusion is clear: once experienced, amphibious capability becomes indispensable. It is a strategic asset, redefining both operations and guest experience.

A new standard for freedom, flexibility, and exploration.
