Qnautic yachts
Dutch-built superyacht tenders and day boats rooted in commercial and offshore shipbuilding experience.
Qnautic is a Dutch builder of yacht tenders and day boats run by third- and fourth-generation shipbuilders. Its official narrative traces the company’s background through commercial vessel work and offshore sailing, while the present portfolio focuses on the Q39 RIB and Q52 Tender Yacht. The Q52 is the larger project in the range and is presented as a 16.1-metre day boat and superyacht tender.
The official Q52 page confirms the model, its 16.1-metre length and its tender role.
Qnautic's Q39 RIB and Q52 Tender Yacht are two different answers to the tender and day-boat brief. The larger 16.1-metre Q52 allows a different scale of passenger space and onboard use from the Q39.
An owner should establish whether the boat will be carried or supported by a parent yacht, run independently for day trips or serve both roles. Boarding, stowage, guest circulation and propulsion should be tested against that mission on the selected Qnautic model. For tender service, launch-and-recovery arrangements and the parent yacht's storage limits may be decisive; for independent day use, passenger comfort and shore access can carry more weight. The Q39 and Q52 should therefore be judged in different operating contexts.
