Birds of a feather flock together, and this usually also applies to barges of large formats over 50 metres in length. Anyone who orders a semi-custom version of their mother ship usually also commissions a tender manufacturer to build a tender that has already been calculated and is often refined with a personalised touch.

This is the case with the latest creation from the Meyer shipyard. The open saloon from the Silverline series was customised by the shipyard's own designer Martin Jünemann, first and foremost with a flawless light blue paint finish. He customised the deck layout to the customer's wishes and the transfer of ten guests by two crew members. Meyer's boat builders integrated an eyelet into the stern for the perfect angle of the tow rope in case things need to move quickly and the dinghy is not brought on board. A retractable anchor arm has been integrated into the foredeck, and a fender strip surrounds the side of the boat up to the indicated tumblehome stern. There, the rubbing strake moves downwards to make room for three backlit circular applications.

In order to be prepared for all kinds of weather changes, a special bimini was developed that transforms the 8.10 metre long tender into a closed limousine in just a few simple steps. Fully loaded, this version of the Silverline Open Limo weighs 3.9 tonnes and accelerates to over 30 knots thanks to two Volvo Penta engines (D3-170, 125 kilowatts each) and sterndrive.
