British builder Cockwells has delivered an 8-metre tender named T/T Scout. The vessel was specially designed for a 63-metre explorer mothership Scout, recently launched by Hakvoort.

The convertible limousine, that immediately catches the eye thanks to her striking sunshine yellow hull, reflects the exterior lines of Scout. The boat is capable of carrying up to 10 guests along with two crew members aboard. Described by the yard as “touchscreen heaven”, T/T Scout features a dual-sectioned glass roof, sliding halfway to semi-enclose the saloon.
The guests can access the saloon through twin touchscreen activated electric doors, tinting at the touch of a button for sun protection.

T/T Scout is operated via joystick control from the helm, accompanied with a reversing camera and bow thruster. Power comes from two Volvo D3 220 HP engines for a top speed of 37 knots.

Cockwells founder and managing director Dave Cockwell highlights that the new-build tender matches the quality and performance of her mothership. He adds:
T/T Scout offers the ultimate in flexibility. Throw open the roof and enjoy exposure to the elements or close it fully to cool down or warm up. With her electric windows and touchscreen roof, T/T Scout combines stylish luxury, optimal performance and innovative technology.

The 63 metre explorer Scout was delivered earlier this month, now embarking on her maiden voyage to the USA with Cockwells tender stored on the foredeck.
