Support Vessels, Shadow Yachts and Escort Vessels are not a new idea in the marine industry. They have been around either as a diving, platform supply, subsea, offshore or navy support vessels. SeaBoats is very familiar with commercial support vessels. Let us find your perfect support vessel using our extensive commercial knowledge. The trend, however, is the luxury yacht support vessel, and what a job it has to do: To function as support vessel and also look sharp and classy while doing it! It will be the shadow of it's luxury yacht mothership, so the aesthetics of the classic support vessel have been bumped up to another level. Having a support vessel means not sacrificing any space on the luxury yacht. Our support vessels can have a wide range of functions: Carry every conceivable water toy a yacht owner could desire, including a mini sub. Safe helideck (instead of helipad) for larger helicopters and even a fully enclosed helicopter hanger. Carry larger and faster tenders. Carry a vehicle. Act as a security patrol with specialized personnel, security equipment and All of the above make for a win - win situation: The owner does not have to compromise the spaces of the luxury yacht to be a storage vessel, the guests do not have to wait for the crews to deploy or retrieve gear and water toys, and the ever-working crew can appreciate their breaks away from the owners and guests. The ideal yacht support vessel has to carry everything, move fast (ideally ahead of the mothership) with economic fuel consumption, and look good while doing it. Why not sail away and leave the Support Vessel to do the hard work, and then watch it cruise past at high speed to prepare for your next destination? No compromises- no toys are left behind!
