MasterCraft Boat Company is stepping into the yacht tender market with a new factory integrated lifting solution designed to make transferring a MasterCraft tender from the water into a mothership more seamless for yacht owners and crew. The new service is debuting on an X23 at the 2026 Monaco Yacht Show at booth QA40.
The system includes factory-installed lifting points that can be configured for single- or dual-point lifting, depending on the yacht’s setup and how the tender is brought abord. The lifting points are incorporated during the manufacturing process, allowing MasterCraft to account for vessel-specific requirements earlier in the build rather than relying on dealer modifications. The option will be available across the X lineup and on other MasterCraft models, while yachts with more specialized needs can be accommodated through the company’s partnership with British boatbuilder Cockwells.
“Entering the yacht tender market is an exciting next step for MasterCraft and an opportunity to bring our experience building premium, purpose-built boats to a new application,” said Greg Miller, senior vice president of global sales and commercial operations for MasterCraft. “By incorporating lifting points at the factory level, we can approach each tender with greater precision and ensure the boat is built with its intended configuration in mind from the start.”
