Built and showcased under the name TIME OFF, this 55.5 metre Yacht Support derives from the hugely popular and successful YS 5009 design. Her custom arrangement was fitted after her sale when she was renamed BETTER SPACE and represents a legacy that formed the blue- print for the future of Yacht Support and the next generation YS53s.
Purpose built for a scientific motivation to be able to have machine shops, molecular biology labs, 3D printing, electronics and more at sea. With space for 11 visiting scientists aboard, GENE CHASER is the perfect platform when it come to supporting the mothership Amels 180 GENE MACHINE and the Owner’s scientific work and philanthropic goals.
The very first YS53 and part of the extensive BAD COMPANY SUPPORT fleet. The operational backbone and supporter to a programme that will cover all oceans with contemporary deep sea fishing and scientific goals alike. A tailor-made floating operation hub, equipped with everything needed and the latest high- tech fishing gear.
In build and ready for delivery in 2025, this is the next available YS 53. A brand-new design and the innovative result of an inhouse two-year development programme. A 53-metre support vessel redefining high-end yachting experience.
When delivered, this 75.20-metre custom expedition vessel will explore the world with a hugely capable platform featuring hybrid propulsion for zero-emission cruising and accommodation for 10-12 guests.
One of the two original YS 5009s dating back to 2010 that created the Yacht Support phenomenon. You may remember UMBRA as the filmmaker’s helicopter base in the BBC Blue Planet documentary series. Ownership changes and a major refit has transformed her into a modular multitasker.
She may be the very first Yacht Support vessel ever but PURSUIT derives from an impressive and proven Damen Sea Axe design legacy. Adapting the vessel for the Yachting market was a breakthrough that led to the creation of the Yacht Support range.
After delivery from the Damen Sea Axe line of high-performance vessels, AD-VANTAGE underwent a refit to tailor her to her Owner’s requirements in 2014. She has since spent much of her time supporting the mother yacht with dive operations in the South Pacific.
This is the founding large Yacht Support vessel in the 70-metre category, originally built to support the 87-metre superyacht ACE. GARÇON took the concept of support to a whole new level, standing out both in terms of capability as well as luxury finish – her paintwork remains the envy of many white yachts!
Originally built for a true scuba dive aficionado, this customised Yacht Support features a very well kitted-out dive centre and large professional decompression chamber for extra safety off the beaten track. The interiors by designer Mark Berryman were created in tandem with his design for the mother yacht.
For this delivery from our 70-metre segment, the client requested a helicopter hangar below the helideck. This increased the length of the design by two metres, leading to the new designation YS 6911.
As part of Allen Exploration, a private fleet which includes superyacht GIGI and open express sports fishing craft FRIGATE, YS5009 AXIS was established for ocean discovery and environmental projects in collaboration with education facilities and local communities. She carries a Triton submersible and an Icon A5 aircraft and has gone above, below and beyond!
The first of the YS 5009 design to feature dedicated guest accommodation, whilst still maintaining support yacht functionality with a large deck area, high-performance crane and extra accommodation for 4 staff, pilots, security or guides. A great example of how this popular Yacht Support design continues to evolve and develop meeting specific yachting and client needs.
The sixth YS 5009 and packed with all new yachting enhancements including engineering for smoother manoeuvres, yacht quality HVAC and lower noise and vibrations. Following her sale, POWER PLAY came back to the Damen Yachting yard for Owner-requested modifications to become a floating heliport.
Delivered originally as JOY RIDER, then subsequently as support vessel to SY PINK GIN, and known today as BAD COMPANY SUPPORT 151, this 46-metre Yacht Support has continued her trailblazing journey. She joins the impressive fleet of a highly experienced Owner and team with a passion for sports fishing and ocean life.
This highly customised vessel is the first in a new breed of yachts with her ground breaking approach. Coupled with a huge tender and toys carrying capability, B3 makes the perfect yacht for high-speed cruising and entertainment. Both her exterior and interior design are a result of close collaboration between our in-house design department and the Owner’s team, creating a yacht that is both functional and luxurious.
One of the larger Yacht Supports in the fleet, GAME CHANGER has taken capability and customised operations around the world for research, conservation projects and dive expeditions.
This 75-metre bespoke support yacht is our largest Yacht Support vessel built to date. The customised inhouse design is based on the YS 75 model. Finished and faired with top yacht quality paintwork and deck hardware, she will hangar a helicopter with a D14 value together with a wide range of specialised marine gear and tenders. The vessel will accommodate 45 people including crew, specialist staff and guests.
Ambitious, bold and all new. This YS53 is the latest of the next generation Yacht Supports. Well thought out and engineered, equipped to a very high level and ready to research, ocean conservation, exploration and philanthropic endeavours.
