Damen Yachting Unveils Second Yacht Support 53 - "FIVE OCEANS"
Damen Yachting is thrilled to announce the launch of their latest addition to the Yacht Support YS5302 series. This 53-meter Yacht Support, the second from the YS53 design series, was unveiled in a grand ceremony in Antalya, Turkey, where her proud Owner officially christened her as "FIVE OCEANS."
The unveiling ceremony at the Damen
Yachting build facility in Antalya was a moment of excitement for all
attendees. It provided the first opportunity to witness the unique color scheme
of this Yacht Support vessel. Featuring a striking sky-blue hull, the design
visually aligns with the ambitious and adventurous nature of the yacht's
upcoming voyages, inspired by the Owner's passion for motor racing and deep
connection to the oceans.

DOLLING Superyachts, the Monaco-based yacht sales and charter company, played a
pivotal role in the journey of FIVE OCEANS. He assisted the Owner with the
sale, managed the project build on the Owner’s behalf, and will continue to
oversee the vessel's ongoing operations. Dolling commented, “This new
generation Yacht Support platform is impeccably designed and engineered,
offering the ideal foundation for the Owner's expansive global plans for FIVE
OCEANS. Our requests and enhancements, even the more elaborate ones, were
seamlessly integrated with precision into the remarkable end result.”
Much of the build details of YS5302 had
been kept under wraps, shrouded in secrecy until recently. Owner Tommy Allen,
also the Founder and Director of Five Oceans Global Solutions, shared glimpses
of the exciting plans for YS53 FIVE OCEANS as part of the Damen Yachting YS
Insider series. Allen's vision for cutting-edge technology, marine exploration,
and environmental preservation will be at the core of FIVE OCEANS' operations.
“You can sleep on it, fly off of it and move it. For us, the Yacht Support is a
platform that enables us to achieve all the incredible endeavors we have in
mind,” expressed Tommy Allen, Owner of YS53 FIVE OCEANS.
YS53 FIVE OCEANS embodies two decades of
successful Yacht Support experience, showcasing a profound understanding of
high-end yacht operations, global adventure lifestyles, and exceptional
technical solutions. Jan van Hogerwou, Commercial Executive at Damen Yachting,
has been instrumental in the project from its inception. “We are honored to
unveil this remarkable 53-meter Yacht Support today. YS53 FIVE OCEANS will
embark on missions to research life beneath the ocean's surface, a cause
central to Mr. Allen's endeavors. This Yacht Support platform reflects an
important vision that we are privileged to contribute to,” remarked Jan van
Hogerwou. "Seeing her poised for the final stages of her build before
delivery in just a few months is the beginning of an exciting journey."
