LINX TENDER
Foil-Assisted Beach-Landing Catamaran
The 9.5-metre Linx is a highly versatile superyacht tender designed to perform as both a refined guest transfer vessel and a capable multi-role support craft. An electrically operated bow door enables controlled beach landings and direct step-ashore access, allowing guests and crew to disembark safely onto sand or remote shoreline without reliance on docks or pontoons.

A shallow-draft catamaran hull drawing just 0.55 metres permits operation in areas beyond the reach of many conventional tenders while delivering excellent stability at rest and underway. Constructed in lightweight carbon-hybrid composite, the platform combines durability with efficient performance.
Central to the design is Linx’s Hydrofoil-Supported Planing Catamaran (HSPC) system. A lifting centre foil reduces drag while aft foils provide dynamic stabilisation, mitigating pitching and softening wave impact to produce a notably dry, composed ride. The system also contributes to fuel-efficiency gains of up to 40%.
Designed to carry up to 12 passengers, the Linx features configurable deck layouts with plug-and-play modules for roles including luxury day boating, diving support, sport fishing, survey work and medical evacuation. Multiple propulsion options – from diesel and petrol to electric and hydrogen systems – allow the platform to be tailored precisely to operational requirements.
