Ahead of this year’s 2023 Monaco Yacht Show, Everrati has revealed a vintage Land Rover Defender, converted to electric and intended to be used as a shore tender for superyacht owners. The project is in collaboration with superyacht designers Bannenberg & Rowell and superyacht specialists Edmiston.
Everrati, founded in 2019 by British entrepreneur Justin Lunny and long-term automotive specialist Nick Williams is a technology company specialising in restoring and modifying existing classic and iconic cars to electric vehicle (EV) powertrains. Everrati’s model line-up consists of electric versions of the Porsche 911 (964), Porsche 911 ST-homage, Land Rover Series, Land Rover Defender, Range Rover Classic, GT40, and Mercedes-Benz W113 SL ‘Pagoda’.
Everrati and its partners are setting a new standard for eco-conscious travel in the yachting industry, with a first-of-its-kind Shore Tender. The bespoke, iconic electric vehicle is designed to provide yacht owners with sustainable and zero-emission mobility at any destination they drop anchor.
Through a highly detailed collaborative process with Bannenberg & Rowell and Edmiston, the redefined electric Defender, based on the classic Land Rover platform, has been specially designed with unique features providing transportation on shore in unparalleled style, comfort, and environmental responsibility. Designed to seamlessly integrate with yacht storage solutions, the Everrati Shore Tender can be effortlessly stowed on board, ensuring that it does not compromise valuable deck space. Customers can commission the ‘Shore Tender’ vehicle as a pair.
“Edmiston has always been a driver of innovation and change, and this partnership is another example. 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” stated Alex Holden, Edmiston Strategy Director.
Justin Lunny, CEO of Everrati, added, “We are thrilled to be partnering with Bannenberg & Rowell and Edmiston on this pioneering project. 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.”
Equipped with a bespoke electric powertrain, the Shore Tender is expertly hand-built using OEM-grade components and manufacturing processes. Its impressive range, combined with regenerative braking, AC and DC fast charging capability, ensures that yacht owners can enjoy sustainable clean-air luxury without compromise wherever in the world.
The interior of the Shore Tender is crafted with the utmost attention to detail and luxury, reflecting the high standards set by Everrati, Bannenberg & Rowell and Edmiston. It features a custom champagne chiller in the bonnet bulge, contemporary upholstery, equipment and towel storage under its benches, a sailcloth roof awning, reclaimed ocean plastic floor panels, and removable doors and capstans. The exterior paintwork can be customised to match the yacht, and custom sailcloth duffel bags with embroidered yacht names and logos add a touch of individualised elegance.
This innovative project sees Everrati providing a solution beyond traditional automotive ownership to a whole new sector in the superyachting industry. The Everrati and Edmiston Shore Tender merges sustainable luxury and zero-emission travel, with a bespoke, high-end vehicle for yacht owner lifestyles. Pricing for the Shore Tender is upon application and subject to a detailed commissioning consultation.
