Custom Boats
Work with us on your next fully custom boat.
Building a fully custom boat is the ultimate expression of personal style. With unparalleled creative freedom, you’re not bound by standard designs or off-the-shelf solutions. Every detail is tailored to your interests, from features to finishes. It’s about crafting a boat that fits seamlessly into your environment—not compromising your vision to fit an existing model.
Semi-custom boats offer an excellent balance of flexibility and efficiency; for many, they’re the perfect fit. However, when your vision leaves no room for compromise, only fully custom will do.
Whether you need extra seating, specific storage, or unique performance capabilities, a custom tender delivers exactly what you want with few limitations. It’s your perfect on-water companion, designed and built around you, ensuring an unmatched level of luxury and utility.

Building custom boats with SYTT
The process
With no two set of circumstances the same, understanding your fundamental requirements is our first priority.
We’ll talk context: your backstory, objectives, and vision.
We will enquire about the purpose of the tender, your hull preferences, styling, garage and deck space, lifting and chock arrangements, budgets, and delivery expectations.
This dialogue helps us formulate a proposal, ensuring that your tender perfectly complements its mothership.
Following collaboration between our design and technical departments, our Initial Proposal will highlight a minimum of three possible solutions.
Including the Key Features of each option, our Initial Proposal will help us steer you towards the most appropriate solution for your custom tender.
Our friendly team will guide you through all aspects of the Initial Proposal.
Having accepted the Initial Proposal, we will prepare a Standard Specification for your tender.
The Standard Specification includes all items you have identified as essential and all components introduced by our design team.
A feature-rich inventory, the specification typically includes Hull, Deck, Console, Electronics, Navigation, Mechanical, Safety Equipment, and Engine attributes.
With your approval, the build of your tender will begin.
We work with the finest boat builders in the UK and Europe. We also manufacture our own ROAM tenders in Serbia, providing a complete turnkey solution to superyacht-specific tender manufacture.
We will provide photographic and video walk-throughs throughout the build, ensuring you feel fully connected at all stages.
Naturally, if you would like to visit in person, this can be arranged at your convenience.
Upon completion, your tender will undergo extensive sea trialling in line with the Recreational Craft Directive (RCD).
Working towards a single delivery date, we will ensure your tender more than meets your expectations while landing on time and on budget.
