The Damen-built 67m Fast Yacht Support vessel, Garçon, has won the ISS Awards of Distinction for Innovation at the International Superyacht Society Awards Gala in Fort Lauderdale.
Garçon was designed and customised according to the requirements of the client, the owner of an 87m luxury superyacht. The vessel’s “axe bow” and underwater body shape enable it to reach speeds between 18-25 knots in all sea states, making this a fast and dependable support ship – whatever the weather.
It has 235 m² deck space for, for instance, tenders, jet skis and sailing dinghies. In addition, the deck space offers room for a helipad.
Damen’s Amels shipyard has delivered three Yacht Support vessels so far and another four are under construction.
