Damen Yachting delivers first Xplorer 60 and Yacht Support 53 to same owner

The delivery marks the debut of the Xplorer 60 series. Both yachts will be available for charter during the owner’s planned circumnavigation.

They are scheduled to make their public debut at the Monaco Yacht Show, presented by Damen Yachting.

Constructed at Damen Yachting’s facilities in Antalya, Turkey, both yachts were launched consecutively in March. After You is based on the SeaXplorer 60 concept first introduced in 2021.

The Xplorer 60 combines long-range expedition capabilities with superyacht comfort. Featuring a steel hull designed for challenging environments, she is suited to both warm-water cruising and polar exploration. Azure Yacht Design and Naval Architecture created the exterior design, while Damen’s in-house team was responsible for naval architecture. Interiors by H2 Yacht Design provide accommodation for up to 12 guests and 16 crew plus captain.

Emotional is the third delivery in Damen’s Yacht Support 53 series, following Five Oceans and Bad Company Support. The vessel offers additional crew capacity, storage for tenders and toys, helicopter facilities, and logistical support. With a volume just under 500 GT and a top speed of 19 knots, she is designed to enhance extended cruising programs.

“Delivering the first Xplorer 60 alongside our latest Yacht Support 53 highlights the teamwork between our Antalya and Vlissingen sites,” said Enrique Tintore, Product and Design Manager for Xplorer and Yacht Support at Damen Yachting.

Sales Manager Jorrit Pilaar added: “Preparing both vessels for delivery was very rewarding. We wish the owner and crew many successful voyages.”

Damen Yachting currently has three superyacht projects under construction, including a 75.2-meter vessel scheduled for delivery in 2026.
