THE MINI-ME COMPASS LIMOUSINE, COMPASS TENDERS Over two decades have passed since Compass Tenders realized the gap in the market for the ‘mini-me,’ a custom-made tender. Its quintessential Limousine line can be found accompanying (and in some cases, being carried on board) some of the largest yachts in the world, serving as a chase boat for owners who wish to explore further a fi eld, or stored in the vast garages and large tender bays that can often be accommodated on larger megayachts. Whether nodding to the characteristics of the mother ship to which they belong, or echoing the design, each unique Compass tender exempli fi es superyacht style. “The tender often makes the fi rst impression for the superyacht experience, and we strive to ensure that design detailing, styling and level of fi nish are akin to that of the mother ship,” explains Richard Faulkner, founder and CEO of Compass Tenders. The Limousine line, which currently ranges from 30 ft up to 46 ft, features a curved coach roof with central glazing for shelter either from the sun or inclement weather, while the aft deck seating area is equally luxurious for fun when racing over the waves. Other commonplace amenities include a spacious interior with custom leather seating, ambient lighting and forward-facing cameras, but the overall style is unique to the vessel, and just about every whim can be catered to. “Compass Limousine tenders are frequently speci fi ed with intricate teak fl ooring, integrated premium audiovisual systems and everything you need for exceptional onboard
