As owners seek to expand the range of activities or services possible on their yachts, there is a growing demand for support yachts. These support vessels are increasingly sought after to enrich and enhance the yachting experience in various ways.
Large tenders, watertoys, fuel, staff, victuals, support yachts considerably enhance your cruising capability and enjoyment
They offer additional storage space for provisions, crew, and staff, along with a diverse selection of toys and plenty of extra fuel, which may not be practical to accommodate on board your current yacht.
The 55.3m Damen-built AXIS has a top speed of 22 knots and a range of 5,000nm
As well as long range, support yachts also have high top speeds so that they can reach any anchorage before your yacht and have all the watertoys prepared for use the moment you anchor. Without a support yacht you need to wait for crew to secure your yacht then launch the toys.
A support yacht means unlimited ability to explore by land, sea and air
Support yachts also provide the advantage of helicopter operations and larger tenders, expanding the experience or enabling exploration of remote and less accessible waterways.
The Astilleros Armon-built HODOR has a top speed of 22 knots, which means everything will be ready to use when you arrive
With a continual stream of projects at Damen Yachting, recent visits to Spanish yards, Astilleros Armon and Freire, and with Freire’s recent delivery, RENAISSANCE, joining the Burgess charter fleet, Burgess is in an unmatched position to advise on these shipyards and help you in the development of a support yacht.
With a support yacht, you can have everything, everywhere, all at once: classic tenders, beach landers, motorbikes, buggies, submersibles, helicopters - anything you can imagine
‘Support yachts are really much more than the name suggests – they can transform the yachting experience. There has never been more choice in the market than today and we have never been more ready to help you,' says Ed Beckett, Partner, New Build Sales
