This latest SHADOWCAT concept offers a
tremendous amount of customisation and meets the needs of buyers who require a moderately sized shadow yacht to support their existing superyachts, without sacrificing quality or performance. ROBERT SMITH FOUNDING PARTNER, SHADOWCAT
Customisation as diverse as the destinations SHADOWCATs explore
Whether an owner chooses to cruise around the Mediterranean or expand his horizons by exploring new and exciting destinations, SHADOWCAT support yachts fill the need. For those who desire fun on the water, catamaran support yachts have unmatched cargo carrying capacity for tenders, jet skis, a dive centre, submarines and more. Growing families enjoy reclaimed space for accommodations and entertainment areas. Support yachts can also serve as additional security detail or can offer increased autonomy and wellness centres for everyone health on board. The only limit is an owner’s imagination.

Though all features are customised to an owner’s taste, SHADOWCAT’s standard catamaran hull offers 40 percent more volume and 60 percent more deck space than a monohull, allowing for a helipad, up to 14 crew accommodated, and plenty of storage for a wide range of toys over three decks. Its 13m helipad is fully certified and CAP437 compliant for helicopters. The large aft main deck allows for three tenders up to 10 metres in length in the base configuration with the launch and recovery system consisting of overhead beam cranes. Forward of this, the main deck cabin houses facilities such as deck store, galley, mess and accommodation.

The catamaran hull design is proven to be more efficient, delivering less fuel burn and top speeds of 20knots or more. Plus, a 70-percent increase in stability during offloading and loading operations increases safety for the crew during operational duties and a smoother ride for guests.
“We have found this platform to be the key for every yacht owner to transport everything they need on the ocean, no matter when or where, through a compact and cost-effective solution,” said Ricardo García, commercial director, ARMON. “This concept is already revolutionising the megayacht industry.”
