There is a reason the Wajer 55 is the chosen chase tender for so many of the great superyachts. Few boats combine build quality and performance with quite the same composure. One of the finest to come out of Holland, she is exacting in every detail, from the joinery to the way she carries a full complement of guests without ever feeling loaded. The run from Monaco to La Guerite becomes a pleasure rather than a passage, forty knots of clean, quiet speed with lunch waiting at the far end. Sixteen metres give her real presence on the water, yet she remains easy and intuitive, the kind of boat that flatters whoever is at the helm. Up to twelve guests can share the day, looked after by a single crew member who keeps the experience seamless. The deck is arranged for the way people actually spend a day at sea, with space to lounge in the sun, gather for a drink and step down to the water when the anchor drops. She is a day boat of the highest order, built for the shuttle, the swim and the long return in the late light. Snorkelling gear and additional toys are aboard for the clear water below. Understated and quietly capable, she never asks for attention and rarely fails to earn it. Some of the best days begin with nothing more than choosing where to drop anchor.
