Detailed description

The Damen YS 4508 is much more than just a yacht: it is a true exploration vessel designed to accompany the most ambitious sailing programs around the world.

The Damen YS 4508, built in 2019, has been specially fitted out to transform a professional support vessel into a luxurious and versatile exploration platform. Its robust design allows it to brave the most demanding seas while maintaining remarkable stability and excellent autonomy.

Interior spaces prioritize functionality without sacrificing comfort. The yacht accommodates up to 6 guests in 3 cabins, including a owner's cabin with en-suite bathroom as well as two twin cabins also featuring their own bathrooms. The crew quarters allow for 7 crew members to handle all operations during major expeditions.

One of the main assets of the Damen YS 4508 lies in its immense multifunctional main deck. As a true logistics platform, it can transport tenders, diving equipment, vehicles, or scientific equipment. It can also be configured to host private events, serve as an outdoor gym, or be used as a helicopter landing pad.

A powerful a crane capable of lifting up to 6.7 metric tons further enhances its versatility and makes it easier to handle tenders, equipment, or specialized cargo intended for large shipments.

Built around the iconic bow Sea Axe Designed by Damen, the yacht offers excellent seaworthiness while minimizing motion in the waves. Its shallow draft allows it to access anchorages and remote areas that are inaccessible to many yachts in this class.

Propulsion is provided by two Caterpillar C32 TTA B engines, allowing a cruising speed of 12 knots, a maximum speed of 17 knots and a remarkable battery life of about 5,000 nautical miles, ideal for long, nonstop ocean crossings.
