A support yacht is a purpose-built vessel designed to complement a superyacht by expanding its capabilities. It functions as a mobile storage unit, crew accommodation, and operational hub, ensuring the main yacht can focus entirely on leisure and comfort. With features such as helipads, dive centers, and medical bays, these yachts empower owners to venture into remote locations with confidence and independence.
