STARGAZER: Chase boat intended to provide a wide range of functions

摘要

The Claasen-built, 23m chase boat Stargazer was developed to serve as a tender for a superyacht, and represents the 27th newbuild project on which Claasen and Hoek Design have jointly collaborated. Hoek Design handled all of the vessel’s naval architecture, structural engineering and exterior/interior design. As well as providing a means of getting the yacht’s owner and guests from shore to the yacht in a comfortable manner, Stargazer was designed to fulfil several other roles. She can be utilised as a diving platform, capable of entering small lagoons and shallow waters, for instance: a large swim platform built into the stern forms steps that plunge underwater when deployed, enabling guests to enter and exit the water in a straightforward manner. The tender can also be used to accommodate extra stores, and/or extra crew members or guests, complementing the yacht’s three cabins.
