These are workhorses, so deck space, lifting gear, tender capacity and crew accommodation often count for more than fancy interiors. Some support yachts come with everything needed to shadow a mothership from day one, while others need substantial work. A converted commercial vessel can look like a bargain, but hull condition, stability, deck loads, class status and refit costs all deserve close attention before committing to a purchase.
Buyers can also choose from newer support yachts with guest accommodation and the ability to cruise independently. YachtBuyer's onboard review of the Damen YS 53 Emotional offers a firsthand account of what a modern support yacht can provide.
