Metal Shark 36 Fearless “Ricochet,” tender to the yacht VivieRae, shown here during a recent voyage to Truk Lagoon in the Federated States of Micronesia. Designed as a tow-behind and built to withstand the rigors of ocean crossings, the 36 Fearless Yacht Tender is rugged, tough, and built to perform. With its high performance, Michael Peters-designed SVVT stepped hull and triple Mercury 300 HP Verado outboards, she’s capable, nimble, and quick. Special features on this welded-aluminum workhorse include a Humphree active ride control system, a Seakeeper gyro stabilizer, a rooftop solar panel array, full tackle station, and Frigid Rigid 300-quart coffin box and 95-quart icebox. Four Llebroc SV bucket seats atop SHOXS S8 shock-mitigating seat pedestals insulate occupants from jarring impacts. A full-height tempered glass windshield and oversized aluminum hard top with roll-down curtain package provide protection from the elements. A urethane-sheathed, high-density closed-cell foam WING collar provides maximum impact protection, and oversized port and starboard dive doors allow easy access from either side of the vessel.

Metal Shark recently hosted representatives of Galapagos National Park Service (GNP) to its Louisiana, USA production facilities to inspect and sea trial the newest addition to the GNP’s fleet of Metal Shark patrol boats. Situated in the Pacific about 500 miles west of Ecuador, the park's 18 main islands and surrounding waters are home to sea lions, whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, the Galapagos penguin, waved albatross, and the giant Galapagos tortoise. The GNP’s Metal Shark patrol boats are used by park rangers to preserve and protect the park’s unique natural resources and the boats operate year round across the park’s 3,000 mile range. Metal Shark is proud to support the important conservation efforts of Galapagos National Park!
