Showcased by Damen Yachting at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show

A Debut Like No Other

Delivered to her Owner in 2023, PINK SHADOW immediately embarked on an exciting charter program. This marks her first public showcase at a yacht show, highlighting her unique design and adventurous spirit.

As the third yacht in the former SeaXplorer range, PINK SHADOW is a standout creation from Damen Yachting’s Antalya facility. She has set a new benchmark for expedition yachts and serves as the forerunner to the Xplorer 60, with two units nearing completion.

A Yacht Built for Adventure

While her bold exterior and striking hull shape command attention, PINK SHADOW’s interior tells a story of exploration and connection. Designed for luxurious global adventures, she invites guests to experience the world in comfort, style, and exclusivity.

Damen Yachting partnered with Azure Yacht Design to create an exterior aesthetic that is both distinctive and refined. Her interior, designed by Design Unlimited, takes inspiration from the 1982 film ‘Fitzcarraldo’, reflecting the Owner’s passion for South America and adventurous storytelling.

Custom Features & Transformations

The Xplorer 58 platform was extensively customized to offer exceptional social spaces and enhanced functionality. Originally envisioned as a 55-metre explorer yacht, PINK SHADOW evolved into a 58-metre expedition superyacht, featuring:

• A tender bay that transforms into a beach club
• An upper deck crane for deploying an all-terrain vehicle
• An observation deck with a crow’s nest standing 11 metres above water for 360-degree views

The beach club is a standout feature, boasting:

• Fold-down balconies for expanded deck space
• Pivoting louvres for shade
• A bar, Jacuzzi, and hanging seats that can be suspended over the water

Other remarkable features include:

• The ‘Amazonas Bar’ on the top deck, with a statement bar counter, BBQ grill, al fresco dining, and Jacuzzi
• A luxury cabana-style outdoor lounge with folding balconies
• A signature bow point observation lounge
• A fully certified heli deck for remote explorations
