Damen has delivered YS 53, Bad Company Support 175. This 53-metre Yacht Support (175-feet) is the first of the YS 53 design series and has been handed over to her owner. She will now take on an ambitious ocean-going deep-sea fishing and conservation program as part of the owner’s Bad Company fleet.
The vessel’s design and performance have been meticulously tailored to cater to the owner’s preferences. Bad Company Support 175 will not only serve as fast support to the fleet, she will also operate as a main hub for Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean based activities providing a technical and functional base for equipment and dedicated programs as well as long and short term onboard living and accommodation facilities for the owner and his specialist crew.
“As the Project Manager for BAD COMPANY 175, I am honoured to have been part of the build of this remarkable vessel – the first in the series,” said Salih Saim Kaya, Project Manager Damen Yachting.

Throughout the project, communication with the owner’s representative, Neil Emmott, has been open and transparent, ensuring effective collaboration and understanding of the owner’s specific requirements.
Neil Emmott explained, “In pursuit of a lifelong dream, the owner’s involvement has been crucial in shaping the project, with enhancements based on his personal and very specific requests.
“Custom features include accommodating a game boat, a helicopter hangar, adding a jacuzzi, transforming the main deck lounge into a dedicated strategy meeting room, and integrating a Starlink antenna for improved connectivity.”
