Element XP –  35′ Tender

Element XP, a new explorer tender in aluminium

Developped by Novem Nautical Design, Element XP is a hybrid landing tender developed to support explorers. Built to professional marine construction standards and crafted entirely from aluminium, it is designed to withstand intensive use in a wide range of demanding environments.

Its design is primarily focused on maximizing shore access. Thanks to its forward landing door and beaching-optimized hull, this tender can land directly on sandy beaches, rocky coastlines, or remote shorelines, providing exceptional freedom of movement during shore operations.

With an overall length of 10.5 metres, it accommodates up to 12 passengers and 2 crew members. Its fully open deck is designed to facilitate passenger movement, cargo handling, and water sports activities, while maintaining a simple and highly functional space.

The Element XP combines two complementary propulsion systems. Conventional engines delivering the speed and range required for long-distance cruising, while the BLUENAV electric propulsion system enables silent, low-speed operation. This hybrid solution provides easy access to regulated marine areas while enhancing manoeuvrability through assisted docking and virtual anchoring with automatic position keeping.

Every feature has been designed to meet the demands of a truly versatile expedition tender. Standard equipment includes a forward landing door, a retractable bimini capable of carrying paddleboards and other gear. The reduced overall height allowing the tender to fit inside a yacht’s garage. Additional features include a swim platform with boarding ladder and water-ski pylon, generous storage compartments, dedicated diving equipment, and a cabin fitted with a toilet for comfortable day cruising.

Element XP is a true expedition tender, purpose-built for exploration yachts operating even in the most remote destinations. It combines rugged construction, exceptional versatility, and modular hybrid propulsion technology to support demanding adventures wherever they lead.
