Damen Yachting has announced the successful launch of the ninth 55m/182ft YS 5009 model, Yacht Support vessel TIME OFF, at the Damen shipyard in Antalya, Turkey.
Y/S TIME OFF boasts a striking modern colour scheme of charcoal grey and crisp white, accented with a steel blue stripe. The on-trend plumb bow also offers the benefits of the Sea Axe hull form, providing excellent efficiency, safety and stability in rough seas.
The interiors, exteriors and naval architecture all come from the shipyard and offer clients versatile fitting options to suit their requirements, whether it’s additional storage for water toys and vehicles for exploring the world over, a dive centre, research laboratories and conference rooms, or extra cabins for guests and crew.
Similar to predecessor Yacht Support GENE CHASER, there is a multipurpose hangar on the main deck, and the layout is ready for an A-frame along the stern, should the Owner want one installed. A variety of improvements have also been implemented, and include a generator sound enclosure, updated engine room installations and cutting edge AV and navigation systems . A new accommodation layout sleeps up to 7 guests as well as 4 staff and crew.
Once her final outfitting is completed, Y/S TIME OFF will be available for delivery in time for summer this year.
