Have you read about J'ade, the 196ft long vessel designed by Italian company CRN, which comes complete with - amongst other things - a 'drive in' garage for its tender? If not, and your into hearing about the spends of the super wealthy, have a thing for James Bond style gadgetry, or, if you simply like to stare, sigh, and think, 'if only my boat had one of those', then the J'ade is definitely worth a Google.
J'ade has an indoor pool, an aquarium, and a 'drive-in garage' for its tender.
If, however, like most of us mere mortals, your boat -or your pockets- won't stretch to a hydraulic-operated hatch with room to store an eight-metre tender without the use of a lift to hoist it out of the water, here are a few alternative suggestions.

The PSP Southampton Boat Show
Two weeks ago the team from Rapid Marine were at the PSP Southampton Boat Show, and with more than 112,000 people descending on Mayflower Park & Town Quay to enjoy 10 days of boating and fabulous weather, it was certainly a great success for all involved. According to reports, sales were up on previous years for many companies, and we came away with several potential customers and many new leads, not to mention lots more ideas!!!!
Mike Evers was at the helm for the duration of the ten day show, presenting Rapid Marine's new concept Lifting Slings and Tie down kits for tenders. The Jet ski Crane Sling, an adjustable PWC sling manufactured to complement a wide range of Jet Ski makes and models, was very well received - Interestingly, these slings were also on display at the world’s most revered yacht show in Monaco last week, courtesy of one of our customers, Super Yacht Tenders & Toys.
