The mother of all support vessels, the Catfish yacht, is perfect for an adventurous billionaire. Designed specifically for expeditions, it carries a 71-foot sport fishing boat, an EC135 helicopter, three tenders, and a plush submersible for underwater exploration.


Shadowcat has unveiled its latest innovation: the 239-foot Catfish catamaran concept, designed in collaboration with Berlin-based T. Fotiadis Design. This sleek vessel redefines the boundaries between luxury and utility, seamlessly blending the two. More than just a support yacht, Catfish can double as an explorer vessel, offering an unmatched balance of opulence and adventure. It’s equipped to carry a custom 61-foot sportfish, three bespoke tenders, a seven-person Triton submersible, and an EC135 helicopter, all operated from its state-of-the-art pad and hangar.


But what truly sets Catfish apart is the “Mariner’s Den,” a sophisticated lounge featuring a large fold-out balcony, a bar, and a gyroscopic pool table, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. According to Superyachtnews, the glass-enclosed submersible garage and various water toys are visible from the lounge through a roll-up door, offering a captivating view and a unique blend of functionality and flair.

For those who value wellness alongside adventure, the yacht comes with a gym, a dedicated spa, and a beach club, providing a sanctuary for relaxation. Accommodating 10 guests and 19 crew, this 2,200 GT vessel also boasts practical amenities like a hospital facility, a decompression chamber, and a bait-and-tackle shop, because sometimes the thrill of the catch is just as enticing as the luxury onboard.
