TAKE THE LIMO

Hodgdon’s Mini Venetian Limousine Tender is designed to maximize mega-yacht garage space.

By Kevin Koenig

N

o matter how big

their rides, sometimes

even mega-yacht own-

ers need to take spatial

constraints into consideration.

The Mini Venetian Limousine Ten-

der from Maine’s Hodgdon Yachts

is a customizable 21-foot-4-inch

Michael Peters design that, accord-

ing to the builder, is the smallest

limo tender on the market. The boat

seats eight in a climate-controlled

salon, with entrances both forward

and aft. Sightlines are 360 degrees,

letting guests take in the view as

they cruise toward rarefi ed ports

where the name of the game is

to see and be seen. Whom It’s

For: Owners and guests aboard

mega-yachts up to 200 feet length

overall who want an elegant,

pocket-size way to get to shore.

Picture This: You take your

Westport 112 out to the Abacos

for a long weekend, and you and

a few friends carve out a tee time

on Great Abaco Island. The crew

loads up the Hodgdon Mini Vene-

tian with golf clubs and cold drinks,

and away you go — in style and

luxury as you approach the links.
