Damen Yachting has delivered two yachts to one and the same owner: the Xplorer 60 and the YS53, sold and managed by TWW Yachts. Both yachts were built and launched at Damen Yachting’s dedicated shipyard in Antalya.
The Xplorer 60 After You is a 60-metre expedition yacht suitable for navigating the Mediterranean as well as exploring polar frontiers. For Damen Yachting, it is the first Xplorer 60 that the company has built.
The 53-metre long Yacht Support (YS) vessel Emotional, provides support through additional crew, toys, extra helicopter facilities, and logistical capacity. At the heart of the YS53 lies a design philosophy focused on function, prioritising performance, operational efficiency, and durability. The Emotional is the third yacht from the 53-metre Yacht Support range.
Damen Yachting will showcase the Xplorer 60 and the YS53 at the Monaco Yacht Show next month in partnership with TWW Yachts.
