Exploring the World of Support Yachts: The Ultimate Luxury Travel Companion

In the realm of luxury yachting, support yachts have emerged as a groundbreaking concept, redefining the way owners and guests experience life on the open seas. These vessels, often referred to as “support yachts” or “shadow yachts,” have become an integral part of the modern superyacht industry, offering a myriad of possibilities for those who seek to enhance their yachting experience. One particular standout in the support yacht category is Lynx Support Yachts.

The Role of Support Yachts

Support yachts are essentially auxiliary vessels that accompany superyachts on their journeys across the world’s oceans. They serve multiple purposes, enhancing the overall yachting experience in various ways. While they don’t typically host guests or boast opulent amenities like the primary superyacht, support vessels are essential for addressing logistical, safety, and recreational needs during extended voyages. Support yachts for sale need to have enough space to fulfill the following requirements:

Use of Support Yachts

• Logistical Support: One of the primary functions of a support yacht is to provide logistical support to the main superyacht. These vessels are equipped with additional storage for tenders, water toys, and other equipment, ensuring that the main yacht remains clutter-free and spacious. They carry spare parts, fuel, and provisions, ensuring that the primary vessel can continue its voyage without interruption. This logistical assistance extends to the crew, who can reside on the support yacht, reducing the strain on the main yacht’s living spaces.
• Safety and Security: Support yachts are equipped with advanced safety and security systems, making them an ideal platform for first aid and emergency response. In case of medical emergencies or other unforeseen situations, the support yacht can provide immediate assistance, allowing guests and crew on the main yacht to feel safe and secure throughout their journey.
• Recreation and Exploration: While the primary yacht offers luxurious accommodations, the support yacht can enhance the overall yachting experience by carrying additional water toys, submarines, and recreational equipment. This allows guests to engage in a wider range of activities, from underwater exploration to water sports, making their voyage even more enjoyable.
• Environmental Considerations: Support yachts can also play a role in minimizing the environmental impact of superyachts. By carrying extra fuel, they reduce the need for the main yacht to refuel frequently, which in turn reduces emissions and the ecological footprint of the expedition.

Lynx Support Yacht

One of the leading names in the world of support yachts is Lynx Yachts, a renowned Dutch shipyard known for its commitment to innovation, quality, and luxury. The Lynx Support Yacht, part of their YXT series, is a prime example of their dedication to redefining the yachting experience.

The Lynx Support Yacht is a remarkable vessel that seamlessly combines style, functionality, and versatility. Designed to complement and enhance the journey of the primary superyacht, the YXT support yachts for sale offer various sizes to cater to different needs. These support yachts are constructed with the same level of precision and attention to detail as their superyacht counterparts, ensuring a seamless and harmonious partnership between the two vessels.

One of the standout features of the Lynx Support Yacht is its ability to transport a variety of tenders and toys. From helicopters to submarines, jet skis to luxury cars, the YXT series can accommodate a wide range of equipment, providing endless opportunities for adventure and exploration. The design philosophy behind Lynx’s support yachts revolves around practicality and luxury, making them an ideal companion for those seeking the utmost in yachting experiences.

Jeff Bezos’ $500M yacht has a 246-foot support ship, Lauren Sanchez figurehead

Much like Amazon, Jeff Bezos’ $500 million superyacht offers every bell and whistle imaginable, from A to Z.

The colossal, triple-masted Koru began its career serving the world’s third richest man this week, cruising the Mediterranean around Mallorca.

The 417-foot schooner first left Rotterdam in the Netherlands for sea trials in February. Dropping anchor in Mallorca put its jaw-dropping size on full display.

It also showed the extent of Bezos’ fleet: Not only did the Koru sail into harbor, so did its support vessel, Abeona, a mega-boat in its own right, the luxurious fast-launches used to move between the two — and aerial support in the form of his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez’s personal helicopter.

Sanchez also seemingly serves the fleet’s mascot, with the Koru’s figurehead, a part of traditional large sailing ships, modeled after her.

The Koru is the world’s tallest sailing yacht. Its three huge 229-foot masts power it to 20 knots. It’s also the biggest billionaire’s yacht which can move under sail-power alone.

The masts are so tall that Dutch officials considered dismantling the 95-year-old Koningshaven Bridge to allow the vessel past the 131-foot span on its journey from the Oceanco shipyard in Alblasserdam through Rotterdam to the North Sea.

That controversial plan was scrapped after local backlash, including residents being urged to toss eggs at Bezos’ “latest toy,”  the New York Times reported . The superyacht, previously known as Y721, was instead towed to a shipyard in Rotterdam, downstream of the bridge, without its masts.

Bezos, 59, and the bikini-clad Sanchez, 53, appeared ready for the summer as the pair soaked up the sun aboard Koru, a Māori word for loop or coil that symbolizes new beginnings — possibly a coy reference to their relationship.

Sanchez started secretly dating the Blue Origin founder in the summer of 2018. Bezos then announced in January 2019 he and his wife Mackenzie were divorcing after 25 years , while Sanchez finalized her split from husband Patrick Whitesell later that year.

Sanchez plays a critical role in the Bezos fleet: As a helicopter pilot, she was seen landing on the Abeona. She was also at Bezos’ side when he took the wheel of the Koru.

Koru was first seen under construction in 2021 at Oceano’s yard. The company is owned by a fellow billionaire, Oman’s Mohammed Al Barwani.

As many as 18 guests can enjoy the yacht’s three outdoor decks, including one with two pools. The vessel, which has a crew of up to 36, also boasts a cinema, meeting spaces and lounges,  Luxuo reported .

Every detail is designed for luxury, even down to the masts’ technology.

Bezos opted for high-tech “in-boom furlers,” which store the vast canvases at the bottom of the mast, above the deck. Each weighs nearly 2,000 pounds, but they allow his deck to be kept clear of ropes.

Clearing ropes out of the way maximizes entertaining space, and allows for a hot tub forward of the mainmast.

The yacht is also built for speed. Its three masts provide “one of the largest sail areas ever seen in yachting,”  according to SuperYacht Times .

The Koru’s original designer, and the identity of its captain, remain secret. Boat International noted : “With the elegant curve of the bow and a bowsprit, the lines are certainly classic, but we still have no idea which designer drew them.”

The Cayman Islands-flagged vessel also has engine power like most sailing yachts.

And while other billionaires measure yachts by size, Bezos’ is only the 24th largest.

However, since Koru’s masts rule out a helicopter deck, the billionaire commissioned a support vessel, Abeona, named for the Roman goddess of outward journeys.

In addition to a helipad, the 246-foot Abeona features an extra two staterooms for four guests and as many as 45 crew and support staff.

It’s the largest custom-built support vessel ever manufactured by Damen Yachting. On board in Mallorca were at least four jetskis, two fast launches, and an additional dinghy. Its heavy winch is capable of lifting a small submarine, although Bezos is not believed to have one thus far.

The “classic exterior lines” of Koru, are reminiscent of another billionaire’s boat: Eos, a 305-foot sailing yacht owned by Barry Diller, 81, who may have inspired Bezos after hosting him on the vessel.

Favored by megastars like Katy Perry and Bradley Cooper — who were Diller’s guests during 2019’s Google Camp in Sicily — the German-built Eos can accommodate up to 16 guests and 21 crew.

It was the largest private sailing yacht in the world when it was completed in 2006. Diller, chairman of IAC and Expedia, who is worth $3.9 billion, bought it three years later. Intriguingly, its figurehead is modeled on Diller’s wife Diane von Fürstenberg, the fashion designer.

But the $200 million, 305-foot schooner is now dwarfed by Bezos’ boat.

As Koru sailed in the Balearic Sea this week off the coast of Spain, Bezos’ boat symbolically surges past several other tech billionaires’ vessels – including Google co-founder Sergey Brin’s $80 million, 240-foot Dragonfly, and Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison’s, $160 million, 288-foot Musashi.

It will cost Bezos, 59, an estimated $25 million per year to operate Koru, but the world’s third-richest man isn’t likely to need a loan with his $140.6 billion fortune,  according to Forbes .

Bezos’ use of sailpower sets him apart from most billionaires, but others are seeking a hi-tech zero-carbon power source: a Japanese billionaire has reportedly commissioned the world’s first hydrogen-powered superyacht.

Germany’s Lürssen Yachts announced in March that they had a hydrogen-powered superyacht in advanced construction.

It declined to identify the future owner of the unnamed superyacht, but specialist publication FuelCellsWorks reported Japanese billionaire tech Yusaku Maezawa, worth an estimated $1.7 billion, commissioned the innovative effort.

Dubbed Project Cosmos, the 374-foot superyacht is designed by Apple’s legendary Marc Newson and was first unveiled in early March at Lürssen’s facility in Rendsburg, Germany.

Once completed as soon as next year, the vessel is expected to utilize emission-free fuel cell technology to generate power lasting up to 15 days while anchored or to travel as far as 1,000 miles at slow speeds.

Three other major shipyards, including in Italy and the Netherlands, are likely to launch their own hydrogen started outfitting newly constructed vessels with hydrogen fuel cells as of March 2022, with the first models reportedly expected in 2024.

Other megayachts expected to soon join Bezos’ Koru in the water include two Lürssen models, the 475-foot Luminance and the 400-foot Jag, and Feadship 821, a 389-foot offering from the Netherlands manufacturer.

But even those won’t best the biggest megayacht in the world, the 593-foot Azzam, which launched in 2013 after being commissioned by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the ruler of Abu Dhabi and president of the United Arab Emirates who died last year.

Azzam, which means determination in Arabic, reportedly cost more than $600 million and is nearly 60 feet longer than the world’s second-largest yacht, the 533-foot Eclipse, owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.

Those monster vessels are expected to be surpassed next year by REV, a 600-foot yacht under construction in Norway which will have space for 36 guests and 54 crewmembers, according to Boat International .

Able to cruise 5000 miles on a single tank, this 247-foot-long vessel will exclusively support Jeff Bezos’ and Lauren Sanchez’s $500 million megayacht. Named after a Roman goddess it has completed its sea trials and will now be delivered to the Amazon CEO.

YSV62: A 62-METRE-LONG SUPPORT VESSEL

Dörries Yachts has just presented the project of a new 62-metre-long “ yacht support vessel ” called YSV62. Support vessels, also known as shadow boats, are ships designed to sail close to mega yachts during their ocean cruises and carry all means to entertain guests on the main boat . So, without wasting room aboard, these vessels are used to house tenders, ground-based vehicles, helicopters, sailing boats, jet-skis and much more: the only limit is the owner’s fantasy (for both the two boats…)

From a technical point of view, the advanced bottom allows a maximum speed of 18.5 knots , thanks to 2 x 3045 HP engines. Cruising speed is 17 knots, while range is 6,500 miles at 17 knots . There’s even the possibility to install a third engine for a 20-knot-top speed. Moreover, YSV62 can be equipped with a hybrid diesel/electric propulsion system and a ICE-certified reinforced hull to sail colder seas .

YSV62 is able to replenish the provisions and water supplies of the main yacht with extensive storage for provisions available in cooled and freezer areas , as well as cooled waste storage.

A yacht support vessel is a good solution to have more storage area during cruises, so if you didn’t know where to put your helicopter, now you know what to do.

Superyacht sales aren't so super

The mega vessels saw a 17% decline in sales last year.

The super rich are keeping their distance from superyachts — at least for the moment.

Related Content

Demand for the new mega vessels, which are typically over 100 feet long, took a hit last year, declining by 17%, according to SuperYacht Times’ State of Yachting 2024 report. That was in part due to backlogged waiting lists, rising prices, and oligarch sanctions in Russia , the report said.

Only 203 superyachts were sold in 2023, the report found, a decline from the 245 sold in 2022, and the 313 sold in 2021.

Sales for the largest superyachts, which can be anywhere from 200 to 650 feet, declined the most last year, falling by 40%, the report said. That was primarily due to wealthy Russian buyers leaving the market because of the country’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, it added.

Buyers who want to purchase a superyacht over 200 feet in length will have to wait anywhere between three to four years , according to SuperYacht Times’ head of intelligence Ralph Dazert, who said that’s partly due to backlogs caused by the pandemic. The yacht industry has also been forced to increase prices because of higher labor and material costs, he added.

With rising costs and ongoing delays, Dazert said sales for new superyachts are expected to decrease “a little bit further this year.”

Written by Zuzana Bednarova

The first pavilion of Crocus Expo IEC hosted an extraordinary exposition of the 5th International exhibition of yachts and boats Moscow Boat Show. The show had been incredibly famous for five years already not only thanks to the specialists of the market segment as well as professional sportsmen but also thanks to those who consider sailing sport to be their hobby and well cherished dream.

Participation in the trade fair was a unique opportunity to present a company and products to a distinctly selected targeted audience of industry specialists. They were well prepared to discuss business in the Russian market and even to close a deal on-site.

The show helped representatives of yachting business to get acquainted with their Russian colleagues and gradually improved national yachting market to a new level. It is obvious that for 5 years of its running the project has turned to a status event of the international exhibitions calendar.
