In an effort to make a serious splash at this week’s 2023 Monaco Yacht Show, Everrati, a UK-based company specializing in the electrification of classic and exotic cars like the Porsche 911 and the Mercedes-Benz W113 SL Pagoda, has unveiled its new Shore Tender electric vehicle (EV) concept for superyacht owners and operators. Based on a classic Land Rover Defender SUV, the new EV project is a collaboration of Everrati, superyacht designers Bannenberg & Rowell, and superyacht specialists Edmiston.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Bannenberg & Rowell and Edmiston on this pioneering project,” said Justin Lunny, CEO of Everrati. “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.”

Made for the increasingly environmentally conscious yachting industry, the custom EV is designed to provide superyacht owners with sustainable and zero-emission mobility at any destination they drop anchor. The Shore Tender includes several luxury features such as a champagne chiller, towel storage, and a sailcloth roof awning. The EV’s exterior paintwork can be customized to match its mothership, and custom sailcloth duffel bags with embroidered yacht names and logos add a touch of individualized elegance.

However, true to the Defender’s utilitarian heritage, the Everrati Shore Tender EV also includes practical features, such as removable doors and capstans, which are used to secure a vessel to a dock. It also comes with an OEM-grade phase-3 AC electric motor, a single-speed gearbox, regenerative braking, reclaimed ocean plastic floor panels, and custom instrumentation that retains the Defender’s original layout. Everrati offers the Shore Tender EV in 90 or 110 variants of the Defender platform, as well as a large range of customizable specifications. No acceleration, horsepower, or battery range specifications are currently available for the new vehicle, but the company claims the EV will be able to be charged and stored onboard a vessel.

“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,” said Dickie Bannenberg, Co-founder of Bannenberg & Rowell. “We are really pleased to be teaming up with Everrati and Edmiston on the Shore Tender project. B&R has 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.”

“Edmiston has always been a driver of innovation and change, and this partnership is another example,” added Alex Holden, Edmiston’s Strategy Director. “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.”
