BAD COMPANY SUPPORT - Damen Yachting FOR SALE

Delivered in 2019 and measuring 149’8”, BAD COMPANY SUPPORT by Damen is a standout chance to acquire a pedigreed, globe-ranging superyacht support vessel that is equally at home as a self-sufficient, liveaboard motor yacht. Purpose-built for adventure and refined for comfort, she has underpinned numerous triumphant sportfishing campaigns for her current owner, who is transitioning to a new Damen scheduled for August delivery.

Originally constructed as a shadow yacht, she was reimagined to sleep six guests in three stylish suites. The bright, artful interior plays against her purposeful, go-anywhere exterior. On the main deck forward, the owner’s stateroom features a queen berth and private bath; aft are two twin cabins, each with its own ensuite. The layout is intuitive and inviting, delivering expedition yacht practicality with superyacht detailing.

Seakeeping is exceptional thanks to the wave-piercing Sea Axe bow and advanced Quantum zero-speed stabilizers. A heavy-duty deck crane rated to 6.7 tons allows you to carry tenders, landing craft, subs, vehicles, or a chase boat, unlocking limitless exploration. The expansive main deck doubles as versatile event space—ideal for large gatherings, a sprawling yoga studio or gym—and is heli-capable, serving as a touch-and-go landing area.

A shallow draft widens her cruising envelope, granting access to remote anchorages and shallow archipelagos beyond the reach of most megayachts of this length. With a 5,000 nm range, she is a true passagemaker and explorer yacht, an expedition support vessel, and a sportfishing mothership. Immaculately kept and genuinely turnkey, BAD COMPANY SUPPORT is poised for the next chapter of bold exploration.

Purpose-built by Damen Yachting and presented in impeccable order, this motor yacht and support vessel measures 45.6m overall (149' 8") with a 45m length at the waterline (147'8"), an 8.3m beam (27' 3") and a 2.65m draft (8' 9"). Completed in 2019 with a model year of 2019 and refined by a 2022 refit, she carries HIN 4508, a tonnage of 309 and a deadweight of 130, and runs on a confident semi-displacement platform designed to go the distance. Configured for six guests and seven crew, she marries capability with comfort in a package that is as robust as it is refined.

Her construction is resolutely commercial-grade: a steel hull crowned by an aluminum superstructure with Bolidt decking, all finished unfaired and painted for purposeful durability. Damen Yachting served as builder, naval architect and exterior and interior stylist, delivering a cohesive specification under Bureau Veritas classification.

Performance is assured with a 17-knot maximum speed and a comfortable 12-knot cruising speed, supported by an ocean-spanning 5000nm range. At 1450 RPM and 12 knots the fuel consumption is just 0.21 m3/h, underscoring her efficient long-range profile.

Capacities are engineered for autonomy: fuel 92821 L (24,520.71 Gal), water 20948 L (5,533.88 Gal), bilge water 1,000 litres (264.17 US gallons), black water 13,377 litres (3,533.83 US gallons), lube oil 1,313 litres (346.86 US gallons), waste oil 1,000 litres (264.17 US gallons) and cargo/hold capacity 140 m3. Every figure reflects thoughtful balance between endurance, utility and life on board.

Mechanical and engine equipment

Power comes from twin Caterpillar C32 TTA B main engines rated at 2000 rpm and 900 kW, with the Cat C32 B series set to 1200 BHP each. Engine serials are Port ZP200440 and Starboard ZP200430, with hours recorded at 5681 hrs (port) and 5685 hrs (starboard) as of 31/12/25, reflecting disciplined, documented operation.

Electrical production is engineered for reliability: a 400V 60Hz system served by three Caterpillar C4.4 DITA 1800 rpm 99 kW generators. Hours stand at 12400 hrs for the port unit, 12210 hrs for the port aft unit and 11870 hrs for the starboard unit as of 31/12/25. Each generator consumes approximately 20 litres per hour, with automatic starting based on load via a Deif‑controlled power management system. The vessel carries three main gensets of identical rating and no separate emergency generator. Shore power is handled by an Eekels MarPower SPC‑II Hybrid 75 kVA unit. Onboard batteries are 24V DC AGM ST220, 220Ah (100hr), ensuring ample reserve capacity.

Drive components are equally robust: Reintjes WVS 430/1 gearboxes on the mains and a Van Der Velden EBEST020‑35 steering system, complemented by Quantum QC‑1800 Zero Speed and underway stabilization. Propulsion lines feature AISI 431 shafts with flexible couplings, stern tubes, bearings and V‑struts for smooth, resilient delivery.

Two Idromar MC3J watermakers deliver 8640 litres (2,282.45 US gallons) per day, while a Leroy Sommer 3‑PLS280SC‑T bow thruster provides 120 kW of precise maneuvering thrust. Fuel quality is protected by a GEA Westfalia OTC3‑02‑137 separator and an Azcue CA50/2A transfer pump at 20 m3/h. Black and grey water is processed by a Hamann AG Super Mini Plus system. Domestic water treatment includes two Idromar MC3J watermakers used as softeners at 220 litres per hour each, with a tank capacity of 20.98 m3, and an oil‑water separator Peco Facet Model # CPS‑2.5B Mark 3 + EBM integrated within the fresh water system. Climate control is entrusted to two Heinen & Hopman H2500CC chillers, and hot water is supplied by two Daeldrop boilers.

Internal Wi‑Fi is sourced by Starlink for fast, seamless onboard internet.

Navigation is integrated around NACOS Platinum by Wartsila, uniting a suite that includes two Wartsila RadarPilot Platinum X‑Band radars, an Anschutz Polaris 100 gyrocompass and a Cassens & Plath magnetic compass. The vessel steers itself precisely with Raytheon Anschutz Nautosteer autopilot, reads the depths via EMES 60, and positions through a Sailor 6286 DGNSS receiver. Voyage planning runs on Wartsila Platinum ECDIS with a full backup. Situational awareness is enhanced by a Saab R5 AIS transponder, BNWAS Platinum by Wartsila, an EM‑Speed Log SAM 4642 paired with a Satlog SLS 4120, EMES 60 wind/speed instrumentation, a Raytheon Anschutz SCB RAI 10 rudder angle indicator, and Wartsila VDR 4360 and 4370 recorders.

Entertainment and IT are equally robust: a VBH IT backbone ties Sailor 800 VSAT with Pepwave 4G/Wi‑Fi and a Peplink Balance 580X. The master cabin features a Samsung UE55NU7170 4K Ultra HD Smart TV (139.7 cm, 55”), while the main saloon mirrors this with a 55” UE55NU7170 and Apple TV HD fifth generation, plus MAG IPTV.
