No hoax with this golden boat!

After all the hype surrounding rumours of a gold superyacht worth £3 billion have now proved to be a hoax, we can reveal that a golden tender has been commissioned. A Williams 505D tender has been customised with gold paint, custom tubes, an MP3 music system, underwater lights, fresh-water shower and the superyacht’s name embroidered on the upholstery.

The boat has been ordered from Williams Performance Tenders and this is the real deal.  Mathew Hornsby, co-MD of Williams Performance Tenders, said: "Williams is able to offer a wide variety of custom finishes and accessories which enable yacht owners to specify a tender which exactly matches their requirements.  As a volume manufacturer of yacht tenders we have the flexibility to offer these services without long lead times and high costs, and owners love to have a functional high-performance yacht tender which will stand out!"
