First of all we would like to send out a huge thank you to all of our industry friends and contacts, for their unparellelled service and support throughout this last year. It has given the yacht industry a rough ride but what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger. We hope that the year ended well and would like to wish you a highly successful and proposporous New Year.

With all anticipation and hopes looking towards the new season, what better way to kick off this exciting year than by brushing away those old tender cobwebs, and replacing it with a brand new and unique custom tender from TD.

The end of November 2009 TD was excited and proud to launch its new and improved website, which has been carefully designed to showcase the uniqueness of our products and services while also making navigation for all users a whole site easier.
We have long felt that Totti Design, being one of the only companies truly dedicated to custom super yacht tender design and development, was not clearly presented to our contacts and exclusive clients on our previous site. To some TD is seen as primarily a modern styling studio and we hope that this new site will demonstrate clearly to any potential customers and partners that not only do we create amazing tender designs but importantly, the fact that we oversee their development into production and final launch.

With the Dubai and Abu Dhabi shows quickly looming TD are in talks with several companies about the possibility of exhibiting a design model of Europa , a purposeful 7.5 metre tender / leisure powerboat at the show and possible significant others. Europa, ideal for leisure cruising or marina hopping, has sparked much interest since its initial presentation and will no doubt serve to show the visitors what the Super yacht industry and TD truly has to offer them.
Together with its sister boat Magneto, Europa demonstrates that 'custom' does't have to mean expensive. These bespoke in-house models have been carefully designed to meet various construction materials, in particular aluminium, and are available with various propulsion options. The Europa base model starts at around the €150k mark. More information and documentation can be requested from our new website.

Captains and Shipyards, give your yacht a unique edge this season. Refit is the perfect time, and dare I say it, excuse to add a little extra something to this years refit or merely just to freshen things up. Acting now could get you that unique tender in time for season opening.

TD design synopsis. From looking back over the previous year and most recent, during and post MYS, TD have noticed a growing trend in super yacht tenders. Not only are more companies, both new and existing, seeing this exciting avenue opening but the length in tenders are increasing too, with the concept of a tender becoming more of a shore based luxury launch than a SY garaged run-about.
This key observation also directs itself towards the luxury so-called 'limousine' tenders, where their added comfort and luxury are making them a realistic desirable altenative, in fact, so much so that even we noticed one of our competitors taking 'notes' of the limousine tenders at this years MYS.
So to sum up, expect to see more tender companies, many more limousine offerings and longer / larger tenders.

Until next month, from all of us at TD, Happy cruising.
