Whether you envision exploring remote coastlines, diving into vibrant coral reefs, or hosting unforgettable celebrations on the open sea, YS53 EMOTIONAL is perfect. From thrilling water sports to serene escapes, the possibilities are as endless as your imagination. The YS53 EMOTIONAL is built for fun and exceptional capabilities to make your yachting dream a reality.

With interior, exterior, and naval architecture all crafted in-house by Damen Yachting, the YS53 EMOTIONAL provides support through additional crew, toys, extra helicopter facilities, and logistical capacity. Its expansive open main deck, equipped with a 15-tonne crane, enables the handling of submersibles, large tenders, and heavy-duty equipment.

This versatile support vessel reflects Damen Yachting’s signature approach to both form and function, whether the vessel is functioning as a shadow ship or operating independently.

Exterior

Designed with function and luxury

The exterior design of EMOTIONAL combines modern utility with bold, angular lines, prioritising performance and durability. Her axe bow is engineered to slice through waves effortlessly, reducing vertical motion for a smoother ride. The high bow and pronounced spray rails keep decks dry, ensuring safety and comfort while protecting sensitive equipment from saltwater, even in challenging conditions. The forward-raking windows make a striking visual statement whilst improving visibility in poor weather, minimising night-time glare, reducing heat gain, and maximising usable space.

Exterior Design Enables Unlimited Possibilities

EMOTIONAL's exterior spaces are designed for versatility and action. The expansive aft platform serves multiple purposes – launching tenders and toys with its 15-metric-tonne crane, hosting gatherings, or supporting scientific exploration. With over 200 square metres of deck space on the main deck dedicated to toys and tenders, owners can configure their ideal layout. The yacht also features a reinforced deck capable of Touch & Go helicopter operations.

Interior

Functional Interior for Operational Excellence

EMOTIONAL's interior represents refinement of support vessel accommodation, for a smarter use of space. Designed by Damen Yachting's in-house team, the layout efficiently accommodates up to 8 guests and up to 11 crew members. The 120-square-metre lower deck features a generous crew mess and pantry, prioritising crew comfort during operations. Every design decision reflects Damen Yachting's commitment to functional excellence, creating durable, flexible spaces that serve the yachts logistical mission without compromising comfort and luxury.
