Tender as Art

That’s because, says Aaron T. Clark, Captain of Artefact, the 2990 gross ton, 80m superyacht this LSB-built tender will serve, New Zealand boatbuilders do custom boats of this scale better than anyone.

“New Zealand doesn’t have the infrastructure and is too isolated to compete in building really big boats, but it can do high-end custom builds of this size like nowhere else on earth. You might pay a little more for a vessel that’s specifically designed for purpose, like this one, but with a Kiwi builder like LSB you can expect flexibility and understanding, superb workmanship and a long working life,” enthuses Clark.

A Kiwi with a background in engineering, Clark was’s build here in New Zealand and project-managing the superyacht build at Nobiskrug Shipyard in Germany.
