Xplorer 60 “AFTER YOU” and YS53 “EMOTIONAL” Delivered Simultaneously, Creating a Unique Charter Combination

Vlissingen – Summer 2025 – Damen Yachting proudly announces the simultaneous delivery of two exceptional vessels to one Owner: the Xplorer 60 “AFTER YOU” and the Yacht Support 53 “EMOTIONAL”. Sold and managed by TWW Yachts, both yachts were built and launched at Damen Yachting’s dedicated shipyard in Antalya, combining Dutch heritage, engineering excellence, and craftsmanship to deliver the highest standards of quality and innovation.

A Powerful Duo for Exploration & Support

The Xplorer 60 “AFTER YOU” is a 60-metre masterpiece designed for luxury adventure. With her striking hull form and unmistakable presence, she is equally at home in the glamorous hotspots of the Mediterranean as she is navigating polar frontiers. This remarkable yacht ushers in a new era of luxury exploration, blending bold design, ultimate comfort, and complete freedom.

Alongside her, the 53-metre Yacht Support “EMOTIONAL” provides unmatched support capability, offering additional crew accommodation, toys, helicopter facilities, and logistical capacity. At the heart of the YS53 lies a design philosophy focused on function—prioritising performance, operational efficiency, and enduring durability.

Together, these two vessels form a distinctive platform for owners and charterers seeking adventure without compromising on luxury. Both yachts will be showcased at the Monaco Yacht Show next month in partnership with TWW Yachts.

“It was an absolute pleasure working with the team of TWW Yachts over the last months to get the first Xplorer 60 and the 53-metre Yacht Support ready for delivery,” says Jorrit Pilaar, Sales Manager at Damen Yachting. “On behalf of everyone at Damen Yachting I would like to wish the Owner and his crew all the very best for their upcoming adventures at sea.”

Enrique Tintore, Product & Design Manager Xplorer and Yacht Support – Damen Yachting, adds: “Delivering the very first Xplorer 60 and the latest 53-metre Yacht Support is the result of a fantastic collaboration between our teams in Antalya and Vlissingen, as well as the clients’ team at TWW Yachts. This double delivery is a landmark moment for Damen Yachting.”

David Westwood, CEO of TWW Yachts: “From inception to delivery, we managed the process with a focus on mitigating risks, protecting the Owner’s investment, and guaranteeing that the yachts delivered precisely as promised. The result is an exceptional explorer yacht paired with a powerful support vessel, together creating a unique platform for discovery and adventure at sea.”
