Get to Know the Only Support Yacht Designed for Everything You Want

Whether your goal is to reclaim space aboard a mother yacht or add new experiences and logistical support to your sea voyages, SHADOWCAT support yachts offer the most carrying capacity and customization options in the market. Available in any size and with existing concepts ranging in size from 24m to 78m, all SHADOWCAT support yachts are fully bespoke, and can be designed to an owner’s specifications to accommodate guests and crew, house entertainment areas or to carry assets, such as a helicopter and fully sized hanger, multiple tenders, a submarine or jet skis and more.

Get there faster and access shallower destinations

With a SHADOWCAT, you waste less time on logistics and can enjoy your surroundings faster. Because the SHADOWCAT functions as a mobile floating toy box, you can send it ahead of your main yacht to a secondary destination. While the SHADOWCAT travels, you can finish your morning workout, savour a five-star breakfast and entertain guests. When the shadow arrives, hop aboard your helicopter for a short flight over to the SHADOWCAT, where you can begin your daily excursion immediately. Importantly, SHADOWCAT delivers top speeds (22+ knots) and can be outfitted with jet propulsion engines, depending on speed, draft or capability requirements.

Because a SHADOWCAT’s catamaran hull design only has a 2.1-meter draft, it can access very shallow areas, such as atolls and shorelines, without issue. While most superyachts must anchor offshore, guests can board their SHADOWCATs to explore new beaches or enter exotic cities, checking off bucket-list destinations as they go. Another advantage? When you drop anchor on an undisturbed slice of paradise, your toys are already deployed and ready for you.

Gain extra layers of privacy, security and health

For owners who prefer a bit more privacy, SHADOWCATs are the solution. Because these support vessels offer plenty of space for off-duty crewmembers, staff and overflow guests, owners can maximise alone time. And it goes without question that superyacht owners require security while cruising around the world. Closely following a superyacht, SHADOWCATs can serve as a security patrol with specialized staff, equipment and advanced communications systems. Finally, SHADOWCATs help to reduce the number of staff maintained aboard the mother yacht, allowing for greater social distancing and reduced exposure to illnesses.

Support for charters

For owners who prefer to charter superyachts around the world, SHADOWCATs are the perfect accessory. No matter where you choose to book a charter, a SHADOWCAT facilitates advanced teaming, which means the support vessel can arrive ahead of the charter and have crew, provisions and activities at the ready. This ensures a comfortable and head-turning “home base” to meet all your needs upon arrival in a foreign destination.

The only question remaining is who will make headlines next by commissioning an order for a fully outfitted and wholly customized support vessel. With three vessels delivered in the past several years, it’s clear that SHADOWCAT enables owners to obtain everything they desire, without sacrifice, more efficiently and more economically.
