The Principle of Passion
At Wahoo, we follow the Principle of Passion. It’s a
simple philosophy that comes from the belief that
the more we put in, the more you’ll get out.
From the first line of the architect’s drawing to the
very last second of our testing programme at sea,
we have applied this principle to help fashion a
truly remarkable range of superyacht tenders.

The Wahoo LX is the ultimate superyacht tender. As happy slicing through
the “white stuff” as calmly ferrying guests ashore, she’s a versatile and
stylish vessel that will turn heads wherever she goes. Originally designed
by the award-winning naval architect Lorne Campbell and refined by our
in-house team, the LX is offered in its standard 9.6m, 600hp guise, or can
be custom-built to suit your requirements.

For those who like to live life in the fast lane, we offer our
blisteringly quick RX700. With two 350hp super-charged Mercury
outboards and the legendary Wahoo hull, she is not for the
faint-hearted. But thanks to meticulous design and outstanding
performance characteristics, the RX700 is also perfect as a more
sedate superyacht tender. A case of “Beauty and the Beast”.

The Wahoo SP is a SOLAS certified rescue tender which meets
all the stringent requirements for a rescue vessel aboard
yachts greater than 500gt. Despite its technical abilities, the
SP is still a handsome RIB fit for daily tender duties as well
as heavy duty rescue work. The SP has been designed with a
broad beam to allow plenty of space for crew and equipment.

specified with jet propulsion or out-drive. Like all our vessels, the iX can be custom-built to suit
your requirements, making her an extremely attractive choice for superyachts of all sizes.
