The evolution of the C-Tender 40 is now even more refined, elegant, and spacious. The Italian shipyard chose the most prestigious showcase in the industry, the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, to present it as a world premiere, unveiling the first images of the new version of its smallest boat. The C-Tender 40 is part of a family with four larger siblings: the C44, C53, the C60 and the C74. The first two, like the C-Tender 40, are made of fiberglass and carbon; whereas the C60 and C74 are made of aluminum. These tenders have gained great popularity among the most discerning yacht owners, including the renowned designer Valentino Garavani, who chose the C-Tender 40 for his Blue One. However, the yacht purchased by the fashion icon was the last model of the previous version. Today, C-Tender has completely revamped the line, retaining its distinctive features while introducing significant improvements.

Two hulls are better than one, according to a growing contingency of yacht owners, designers and builders, who have seen a significant growth in interest in multihulls in the last few years. Stability, safety, and space are considered the three winning qualities of a large power cat, particularly for prolonged periods at sea. Multiple hulls not only tend to deliver a higher, wider beam but reduce motion in big seas. Speed and fuel efficiency are also key considerations, with most fuel-sipping catamarans outrunning monohulls of the same length. Plus, as any naval architect will tell you, a catamaran design reduces water resistance and improves aerodynamics. Other owners take advantage of the space that a twin-hulled layout affords, both inside and out.
