by Damen Yachting 21 Sep 02:12 PDT 25-28 September 2024

Delivered in 2017 and originally named NEW FRONTIERS, the YS 5009 SHADOW is a 55.5 metre Yacht Support that features naval architecture, exterior design and interior design by Damen Yachting.

SHADOW was the first of this series to feature dedicated guest accommodation in addition to her primary purpose as a functional support yacht. She features a large deck area, high performance crane, and additional quarters for support staff or an expedition team.

SHADOW is a great example of how the popular YS 5009 design continues to evolve, adapting in accordance with each Owner's unique needs and operational intentions.

A standout aspect of SHADOW's design and capabilities is her helipad and main deck stowage space, which totals 190 square metres (2,045 sq ft).
