Damen has launched its latest vessel New Frontiers, a new evolution in the Dutch shipbuilder’s Yacht Support range.
The 55-metre vessel boasts a host of yachting enhancements that distinguish the YS 5009 from its predecessors. This new build is scheduled for delivery in September and has been confirmed to appear at the Monaco Yacht Show from 27 September to 30 September.
‘New Frontiers is ripping up the rule book. It’s still a Yacht Support vessel, but you can’t put this vessel into one category or another… They want their holiday to be about freedom and spontaneity… Whether it’s a weekend dive adventure trip away from their superyacht or enjoying two locations at once linked by helicopter, it’s all about unforgettable experiences and freedom. We’re very excited to introduce New Frontiers in Monaco.’
In total 11 Damen Yacht Support vessels have been delivered or are in build. Product Director Mark Vermeulen comments: ‘A Yacht Support vessel offers superyacht owners more luxury yachting fun than ever, but at a much lower Total Cost of Ownership than acquiring more capability with a larger yacht. Plus, they get all the benefits of flexible operations, straightforward maintenance and privacy. That’s why we call it the Smart Stretch.’
