The project focuses on the development and design of a luxury tender boat, crafted to support the large yacht of magnate Warren Buffett. This 12m vessel seamlessly blends classic aesthetics with modern sophistication, serving not only as a tender but as a floating ukulele studio, reflecting Buffett’s deep passion for the instrument.

The tender’s design incorporates expansive windows that invite natural light to create an inspiring ambiance. Its layout is divided into two distinct zones: the forward section features a U-shaped sofa and a central table, perfect for casual gatherings or creative sessions, while the aft section houses the cockpit, offering a refined space for navigation.

Custom-designed storage ensures the safe transport of ukuleles, while the forward lounge area doubles as a comfortable practice and performance space.

Acoustic optimization and discreet sound systems elevate the musical experience, allowing Buffett to play and compose with the rhythm of the ocean as his backdrop. This vessel is not just a practical accessory to the primary yacht—it is a mobile sanctuary for creativity and leisure. Its balance of functionality, timeless design, and personal touches make it a truly unique asset, embodying a lifestyle of elegance, artistry, and passion for music.
