The Black Pepper Tender 24 is a striking runabout that combines vintage aesthetics with modern technology, making it a standout choice for those who appreciate both style and performance. Known for their innovative designs, Black Pepper Yachts has crafted the Tender 24 with a nod to the classic American 'Utility Boat' of the 1930s, while incorporating contemporary construction techniques. This 24-foot tender features a beautifully clad wood exterior, an angular windscreen, and a spacious cockpit that evokes a sense of nostalgia. Ideal for elegant coastal cruising or as a luxurious tender for larger yachts, the Tender 24 is perfect for day trips and social outings. With a large sundeck, ample seating, and options for customization such as a teak cockpit table, bimini, and sound system, this vessel is designed for comfort and style. However, potential buyers should consider the limited storage space and seating capacity, making it less suitable for extended trips or larger groups. As a new vessel, maintenance will be minimal, but owners should be aware of potential issues such as gelcoat cracking in high-stress areas. Overall, the Black Pepper Tender 24 is a luxurious and high-performance day boat that will appeal to those who value aesthetics and craftsmanship.

Vintage RunaboutIf this were a classic car, we’d say “Cabriolet”! For an elegant stroll from cove to beach, or to follow a gathering of sailing boats, the Tender 24, is a superb “Runabout” inspired by the American “Utility Boat” of the 30’s. She has a “Vintage” look and benefits from all the modern construction technology of Black Pepper Yachts. DesignA combination of classic design and modern technology, the Tender 24 is largely clad in wood, giving her a retro look that is accentuated by her angular windscreen and welcoming cockpit. A clapboard hull and a windscreen enveloping the cockpit: she is by definition Vintage! There’s a large sundeck aft of the cockpit, and a ladder built into the rear deck for easy bathing. The Tender 24 doesn’t skimp when it comes to seating: there are pilot and co-pilot seats, a rear bench seat and folding seats. Her cockpit table makes for comfortable lunches. Options As with all Black Pepper Yachts, there are many options available and everything can be customized… • Teak cockpit table • Hull color • Bimini • Deck shower • Upholstery • Electric windlass • Road trailer • Sound system • Electronics: Depth sounder, Speedo, GPS, VHF, USB…. At seaWhether you are heading out for lunch on a sandbank or at the head of a bay or taking friends out water-skiing, whether the sea is rough or calm, the Tender 24 adapts well to the programme. She will plot a steady course thanks to her chines and V shaped hull, engine purring quietly within the purpose built hold, without soaking her passengers. At anchor, of course, the discerning amateur will have no trouble recognising the signature of the shipyard, thanks to the lines, the spirit, the singular allure and the level of finish to which you will be accustomed. She will be unique, your own personalized boat! Inboard engine: 250 HP Mercury-Mercruiser. This latest-generation engine with catalytic converter is fuel-efficient. Its power allows her to reach 40 knots, even if the main objective of the Tender 24 remains elegant cruising with family or friends. Ship buildingThe Tender 24 is made from dry fiberglass and resin. The process involves placing parts draped in dry glass cloth under vacuum in a mould closed by a tarpaulin, which are then impregnated under vacuum by injection of the required quantity of resin, which is sucked in by the vacuum created in the mould. Hull and deck are built in separate moulds and then assembled manually by gluing and laminating.The entire boat structure is first assembled by gluing and laminating in the hull. All the whole structure is then coated and painted before adding the engine, electronic and electrical components, deck fittings, teak and other fittings.

The Black Pepper Tender 24 is a beautifully crafted runabout that stands out for its vintage-inspired design and modern construction. Known for meticulous craftsmanship, Black Pepper Yachts delivers a vessel that is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally efficient. The Tender 24 offers excellent maneuverability and handling, making it a joy to operate in calm to moderate conditions. While it excels as a day cruiser, its limited seating and storage space may not suit those looking for extended trips or larger gatherings. The vessel's higher price point reflects its luxury and design, appealing to buyers who prioritize aesthetics and performance. For a marine surveyor, attention would be focused on the hull's condition and any potential gelcoat issues. Overall, the Tender 24 is ideal for those seeking a stylish and high-performance day boat, but less so for those needing overnight accommodations or budget-friendly options.
