Everrati takes sustainable luxury to new destinations with electric Land Rover Defender superyacht ‘Shore Tender’
Ahead of this year's highly anticipated 2023 Monaco Yacht Show, Everrati has revealed a groundbreaking project in collaboration with superyacht designers Bannenberg & Rowell and superyacht specialists Edmiston, in the form of an electric vehicle Shore Tender by Everrati.
Everrati, the leading technology company specialising in redefining and futureproofing automotive icons through the integration of cutting-edge electric vehicle (EV) powertrains, and its partners are setting a new standard for eco-conscious travel in the yachting industry, with a first-of-its-kind Shore Tender. The bespoke, iconic electric vehicle is designed to provide yacht owners with sustainable and zero-emission mobility at any destination they drop anchor.
Through a highly detailed collaborative process with Bannenberg & Rowell and Edmiston, the redefined electric Defender, based on the classic Land Rover platform, has been specially designed with unique features providing transportation on shore in unparalleled style, comfort, and environmental responsibility. Designed to seamlessly integrate with yacht storage solutions, the Everrati Shore Tender can be effortlessly stowed on board, ensuring that it does not compromise valuable deck space.
Customers can commission the ‘Shore Tender’ vehicle as a pair, allowing owners to share the adventure experience of driving two vehicles at awe-inspiring global destinations.
Equipped with a bespoke electric powertrain, the Shore Tender is expertly hand-built using OEM-grade components and manufacturing processes. Its impressive range, combined with regenerative braking, AC and DC fast charging capability, ensures that yacht owners can enjoy sustainable clean-air luxury without compromise wherever in the world.
The interior of the Shore Tender is crafted with the utmost attention to detail and luxury, reflecting the high standards set by Everrati, Bannenberg & Rowell and Edmiston. It features custom champagne chiller in the bonnet bulge, contemporary upholstery, equipment and towel storage under its benches, a sailcloth roof awning, reclaimed ocean plastic floor panels, and removable doors and capstans. The exterior paintwork can be customised to match the mothership, and custom sailcloth duffel bags with embroidered yacht names and logos add a touch of individualised elegance.
Dickie Bannenberg, co-founder of Bannenberg & Rowell, said: “Bannenberg & Rowell vehicle designs are quite rare beasts – as they should be after the extremely exclusive Jensen Interceptor (Office Version) designed by Jon Bannenberg in the 1970s. We are really pleased to be teaming up with Everrati and Edmiston on the Shore Tender project. B&R have been spearheading the creation of a Designers’ Protocol on sustainability for widespread adoption in the yacht design industry. The Shore Tender is driving silently into view at precisely the right time.”
Alex Holden, Edmiston Strategy Director, said: “Edmiston has always been a driver of innovation and change, and this partnership is another example. Working with leading British brands like Bannenberg & Rowell and Everrati is always a fabulous opportunity for us. This first-of-its-kind Shore Tender vehicle is a game-changer for owners seeking to elevate their superyacht experience. The project has redefined the interaction from sea to land with a vehicle that not only provides a joyous zero-emission solution on shore but also exemplifies increased environmental responsibility in the world of luxury yachting.”
Justin Lunny, CEO of Everrati, added: "We are thrilled to be partnering with Bannenberg & Rowell and Edmiston on this pioneering project. The Shore Tender is a testament to our commitment to sustainable mobility solutions that elevate the luxury experience. With this innovation, we aim to redefine how yacht owners explore the world, offering an eco-friendly alternative without compromising on style or performance."
This innovative project sees Everrati providing a solution beyond traditional automotive ownership to a whole new sector in the superyachting industry. The Everrati and Edmiston Shore Tender merges sustainable luxury and zero-emission travel, with a bespoke, high-end vehicle for yacht owner lifestyles. Pricing for the Shore Tender is upon application and subject to a detailed commissioning consultation.
The Land Rover Shore Tender adds to Everrati’s growing portfolio of redefined automotive icons, which includes electric versions of the Porsche 911 (964) Coupe, Targa, Cabriolet, Range Rover Classic, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Series, GT40, and Mercedes-Benz W113 SL ‘Pagoda’.
