Head-turning Wayfinder Delivered in 2021, Wayfinder is the second vessel in the SHADOWCAT range, a design that further demonstrated the support yacht developer’s flexibility and capability. 68m catamaran M/Y Wayfinder offers a 14-metre beam and a draft of 2.40 metres, which permits close coastline navigation. Features include a fully certified helipad and helicopter hangar, with accommodation and storage over four decks. Its impressive carrying capacity includes a helicopter, five large tenders, jet skis and more. In addition to an 18-crew member capacity, it also serves as accommodation for up to 14 extra crew and service personnel.

“Custom-designed to exceed exacting standards in every way, Wayfinder leads the industry in terms of capacity, capability, safety and performance,” said Smith. “This SHADOWCAT was delivered on time, in large part due to Armón, despite a challenging supply chain and economy. We are proud to have delivered this incredible vessel and to continue raising the bar for bespoke shadow vessel concepts and designs across our industry.”

The helipad is fully certified and CAP437 compliant for helicopters of 6t and up to D-value of 16m including the Eurocopter EC145. A large reception room, finished to a yacht standard, sits forward of the helipad, allowing guests to be transferred in comfort between helicopters and tenders.
Dive equipment is fully integrated with compressors, NITROX and O2 facilities, as well as a hospital with decompression chamber.
Propulsion is provided by two main engines, giving a max speed of 22.5 knots, or long-range cruising at 14 knots up to 5500nm. The catamaran platform allows fuel savings of around 40 percent, affording the full vessel range with only 160,000 litres of diesel fuel.
The inherent stability of the catamaran does not require gyro or roll stabilizers whilst at rest. When underway, the vessel pitching motions are reduced by twin Humphree active interceptors on the stern.
Patton Marine’s Marine Surveyor, Tom Corness, inspected Hodor and said: “The quality of workmanship is exceptionally good for this commercial standard of vessel – it blends commercial and yacht standards perfectly to perform yacht support tasks.”
In a unique design for modern support vessels, Wayfinder meets or exceeds IMO Tier III emissions guidelines and has innovative green technology to reduce its impact on the environment by providing a zero-discharge operational capability. An onboard treatment plant cleans all wastewater discharged to a drinkable quality, wet and dry waste is also fully treated onboard to allow the vessel to operate with a zero-discharge policy, to meet a “leave no trace” philosophy. Like Hodor, Wayfinder was designed by Incat Crowther and project managed by YCTS.
Sleek and stylish Nebula Most recently, in June, Armón delivered a third support yacht, M/Y Nebula. Based on the proven SHADOWCAT catamaran platform, 67m Nebula features exterior and interior designs by Barcelona-based Kirsten Schwalgien Design and naval architecture by Incat Crowther. With a catamaran hull equipped for remote cruising, Nebula features a 15.5-metre beam, three decks and a dedicated helicopter deck and hangar, and carries multiple tenders.
