How a 3500 tour turned into a dream 4000 renovation for two best mates
What started with a casual tour of a Rayglass 3500 ended with one of the most epic restorations we’ve ever done on a beautiful 4000 called Majestic.

The Protector 410 Chase is the pinnacle of the brand’s range and one of the world’s highest performing RIB vessels. We’ve designed it for the most discerning and demanding boaters, who need a combination of performance and luxury that is near impossible to find in the market.
We recently shipped one of these awesome vessels all the way to Italy, via a second-time Protector customer who needed a yacht tender.
The Protector range (and the 410 Chase in particular) are built to be versatile. They’re ideal for long-range exploring, cruising, serious fishing and diving, family boating and watersports - but they’re truly perfect as yacht tenders for users who want the best.
This vessel was designed personally by Lyndsay Turner, Protector’s International Sales & Marketing Director, to meet the client’s exact requirements:
“This boat was designed from its hull up as a high performing yachting tender. It’s got full teak flooring throughout, triple helm seats, triple screens and a wet bar with a fridge and hot/cold water.”
The Protector 410 Chase has already arrived in Italy and our client will no doubt be on the water shortly. The boat features everything you’d expect from a Protector vessel, including a hull built for performance and stability, plus a huge amount of deck space:
“We also added a space for dive bottle storage underneath the sun bed, leaving plenty of room on deck. There’s teak flooring on the sole and aft boarding platforms, with flush teak hatches,” Lyndsay said.
“It’s got custom blue tubes, which look great. We also added a silver fern, which is actually a French Fern, but we think it has a nice synergy with the NZ silver fern.”
The cherry on top of this impressive machine are the twin Mercury V10 400 hp engines, giving the boat a total of 800 horsepower:
“It’s definitely powerful enough to get you from A to B,” Lyndsay laughs.
Like the look of this impressive vessel? Protector can design and build a custom vessel to your exact specifications and ship it anywhere in the world.
