NO LIMITS. A NEW LEVEL OF FREEDOM AND LUXURY The Yacht Support range – bring along everything you need with your purposebuilt SEA AXE, pictured here with the 83-metre AMELS 272 superyacht.

GREAT ADVANTAGES FOR DEMANDING OWNERS

6

“Our Yacht Support concept makes you totally self-sufficient without turning your yacht into a cargo and equipment carrier. It’s a big difference and owners have responded to that – it really works. We’ve already delivered four Yacht Support vessels from our range and we’re building more. Owners take these vessels all over the world with toys, tenders, specialist gear, personnel, helicopters. Plus, we’ve taken great care in the range’s appearance and finish.

These vessels are built to belong on the superyacht scene.”

AMELS Managing Director Rob Luijendijk

NO WAITING! Depart – and arrive – whenever it suits you. Isn’t that how it should be? You enjoy exhilarating experiences on and below the water with high-tech equipment, toys and tenders. But deploying and retrieving this gear is a time-consuming and tedious process. Why not sail away and leave the Yacht Support to do the hard work, and then watch it cruise past at high speed to prepare your next destination?

9

BIGGER TOYS Want to take a 60-foot tender with you?

A submarine? A certified dive store and decompression chamber? Automobiles and specialist vehicles? A fully enclosed Heli Hangar?

A sailing yacht? Even if you could physically fit them on your superyacht, how much would you have to compromise on luxury spaces? Put them on your Yacht Support vessel – no compromise, no toy left behind!

• Deck space up to 550 square metres as well as below deck storage up to 335 square metres • Crane capacity up to 12 tonnes at at 10 metres outreach

THE SECOND SEA AXE 6711 THAT HAS BEEN DELIVERED MAINTAINS SPEEDS OVER 20 KNOTS ON ITS WAY TO PREPARE THE NEXT DESTINATION (RANGE OF 4,500 NM AT 16 KNOTS).

SPEED You need speed. There is no point having a support ship if it lags behind. DAMEN's patented SEA AXE hull form gives your Yacht Support vessel the power, stability and efficiency to maintain long range speeds of 20 knots plus, even through a rough seaway.

Outperforming conventional vessels ‘Time is money’ – and nowhere more so than in the offshore industry. This is where the bold, muscular SEA AXE vessels quickly proved highly successful, outperforming conventional fast vessels and reducing helicopter costs. Work goes on no matter the weather – safely and reliably. Repeat orders accelerated and DAMEN built more than 100 SEA AXE hulls in the first 5 years.

Fast when the stakes are high Navies and Coast Guards also quickly caught on to the SEA AXE concept. Time and speed can also mean saving lives, and DAMEN’s R&D team continue to push the boundaries.

In collaboration with the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution (KNRM), DAMEN and its partners developed the SAR 1906, a revolutionary new Search & Rescue boat based on the Axe Bow concept. The first of the vessels won a recent ‘Ship of the Year Award’.

With the Yacht Support range, the proven speed, safety and reliability of DAMEN’s innovative vessels are now available for the private use of superyacht owners.

17

SECURITY When the risk of piracy and other threats increase, your high-speed Yacht Support vessel is on patrol with specialised security personnel and equipment, scouting the area to protect the mothership. After all, the Yacht Support range shares its DNA with DAMEN Naval Shipbuilding’s Interceptors, fast patrol vessels and frigates, which are used by the world’s Navies at the highest level of combat operations. Ask us for expert advice on advanced sensor, weapon and communication systems.

UNLIMITED CAPACITY Imagine what true freedom means for you and your crew, the new possibilities it creates‌ Helicopter hangar, tenders, sailboats, toys, vehicles, dive store, workshops, security equipment, fuels, consumables, provisions, ancillary personnel, crew rotations, modular containerised equipment.

The ultimate Yacht Support model, the 85-metre SEA AXE 8517 is a very large volume ship at 3,500 gross tonnes with a massive 550 square metre deck – not to mention the two-level toy garage, tender slipway, helicopter hangar, accommodation for 33 crew and personnel, and many more features.

25

HAPPY CREW AND MORE PRIVACY FOR YOU We all know the formula: happy crew = happy yacht. When you don’t need personnel 24/7 on the mothership – for example crew rotations, pilots, security, masseuse – accommodate them on your Yacht Support vessel.

You maximise privacy for you and your guests, while giving personnel some time away from the mothership.

They can get things done from a distance. After the work day, they can enjoy pleasant surroundings finished to high standards, use the gym and recharge.

28

ELEVATED QUALITY High quality finishing clearly distinguishes the purposebuilt Yacht Support range from lesser support boats and commercial service vessels.

Leveraging specialist expertise from AMELS, Yacht Support vessels fit perfectly in the world of superyachts. The hull and superstructure are faired and painted to high standard.

DAMEN’s modern shipbuilding production process delivers high quality, striking exterior looks and decks finished in Bolidt artificial teak. This is an asset you can show off with pride.

of renowned Dutch organisations: DAMEN Shipyards Group, Delft University of Technology and the research institute MARIN. DAMEN provided the initial thrust in Holland more than 20 years ago, seeing the need to develop a fast offshore commercial vessel that could withstand heavy weather, as routine storms are no excuse for halting offshore work.

30

Fast and fuel efficient Delft University of Technology hydrodynamic theoreticians developed the early phase, using a towing tank to prove that lengthening a hull, without changing its beam or basic shape, resulted in a faster, easier-to-operate and more fuel-efficient vessel. This was the first major step toward the revolutionary SEA AXE concept.

Next Dr Lex Keuning was exploring a new concept in ship design. He thought, “If you can sharpen the bow, increase the sheer and lower the centreline of the bow, this should dramatically reduce the wave-exciting forces when a ship is sailing in a seaway.” And so, in conjunction with Delft University of Technology, MARIN and DAMEN, Dr Keuning pioneered and patented the ‘Axe Bow’ – so called because the forefoot is deeper than the keel, resembling an axe (see comparison opposite).

Reducing peak accelerations The Axe Bow shape (see graphs, left) has proven to generate as much as 15 percent less resistance in smooth water than a conventional hull, even at up to 35 knots of speed. And it produces a remarkable 75 percent reduction in peak accelerations and slamming in a seaway, which means far greater sea kindliness and minimal discomfort and inconvenience for crews in heavy seas.

31

TRAVEL IN STYLE Travel fast, travel in style. In transit to the mothership, you and your guests can join the Captain in the elegant wheelhouse. On the largest Yacht Support vessel, relax in the VIP lounge with up to 90 square metres of luxury space. And, at your request, our expert craftsmen can tailor any interior spaces to the same luxurious Owner’s standard as the mothership.

GUESTS ON BOARD GARҪON SEA AXE 6711 CAN FEEL THE POWER AND PERFORMANCE FROM THE WHEELHOUSE AND ENJOY THE 360 DEGREE VIEWS.

SUCCESSFUL ENTRANCE Recently introduced, the innovative Yacht Support concept immediately captured the attention of superyacht owners. Four Yacht Support vessels are currently proving their merit during luxury voyages around the world.

More are under construction, developed for owners with a vision of yachting at the highest level.

6911

SEA AXE 6911 - Under construction, delivery 2016 The Yacht Support team of talented naval architects continues to innovate and develop new solutions. A great example of this is SEA AXE 6911’s ultimate technical area for serious superyacht helicopter operations – a LY3 / MCA fully certified helideck with fully enclosed hangar. Particularly for destinations with less developed infrastructure, this innovative solution opens up new possibilities for luxury yachting experiences and has justifiably generated great interest.

42

6711

SEA AXE 6711 - Launched 2014 Named simply ‘6711’ after the SEA AXE 6711 model, this is a great example of the level of customisation possible with a Yacht Support vessel. With accommodation for 21 crew and staff, this 67-metre SEA AXE has been configured with a 70 square metre dive centre, which even includes a decompression chamber.

GARÇON

SEA AXE 6711 - Launched 2012 GARÇON is a highly customised 67-metre SEA AXE 6711. It carries a huge array of extra equipment as well as having great workshops and extensive storage. For the regular mothership crew, the Yacht Support vessel is a place to go and relax when they are on breaks. There is a large lounge, a gym, sunbathing areas and swim platform.

PURSUIT

(EX OBERON)

SEA AXE 5009 - Launched 2010

The first Yacht Support vessel delivered, OBERON is a 50-metre SEA AXE 5009 purpose-built to provide round-the-clock service and support for a superyacht. With a top speed of 28 knots, OBERON spent its first season in active service around the Mediterranean and has since travelled the globe.

UMBRA

SEA AXE 5009 - Launched 2010 As well as all the advantages of its sister vessel, the second SEA AXE 5009 also features an enclosed container-like space aft of the accommodation. This customisation provides a workshop with a full complement of machinery for maintenance and repairs.

43

RANGE Ranging in length from 40 to 85 metres, all Yacht Support vessels are based on proven DAMEN platforms, developed to operate safely and reliably in the most challenging environments. The range starts with the sleek and nimble 40-metre vessel, moving up to the 85-metre large Yacht Support vessels where carrying capacity is immense.
