Zodiac Hurricane is one of the few Yacht tender builders that actively maintain a certificated Quality Assurance system compliant with ISO 9001-2008 which provides customers with a level of comfort that technical issues are properly managed which ensures traceability throughout processes. Zodiac Hurricane can propose sensible engineered solutions to satisfy most of the challenges and incompatibilities that arise.
Reliability
The platforms that provide the basis of the tenders are all mature proven hulls that are currently in operation around the world on Naval ships, Coastguard vessels and Yachts. They are finished to a yacht quality level whilst retaining their reliability, availability and maintainability (RAM) classifications that have been mandated by different Departments of Defence. Therefore a Yacht Captain and Chief engineer will be benefitting from the same level of RAM that a Navy ship expects from their tender. What this means is that spare parts are fully documented and available to be shipped anywhere in the world using modern logistic services companies. Available in 6 sizes from 5.8m to 11m, Zodiac Hurricane Custom Yacht tenders are outboard powered or diesel powered driving either sterndrives or waterjets.
