On show at the Dusseldorf Boat Show earlier this year, the luxurious £500,000 Cockwells 9.5 tender certainly stood out from the crowd. Built in the Fal estuary in Cornwall specifically for the Monaco Boat Show in September 2013, the 9.5 simply oozes class and quality.

Cockwells 9.5 tender

Cockwells 9.5 tender - Alex Smith takes a first look at Dusseldorf Boat Show.



Founded in 1996 by Dave Cockwells, who became a boat builder straight out of school, the company only builds three or four boats per year.

The Cockwells 9.5 tender has an enormous cockpit with wraparound seating for 12, plus two crew and beneath the foredeck is room for a heads.

But if you don't quite like what you see, says Alex, let them know: "They promise me they'll build anything."
