Measuring 67 meters in length over all, the SEA AXE 6711 superyacht support vessel GARÇON by the respected Dutch shipyard Amels will be exhibited at the upcoming Monaco Yacht Show. The sleek, axe-bowed Fast Yacht Support vessel GARÇON was built at Damen Shipyards in Holland.

The SEA AXE superyacht support vessel GARÇON has 235 m² deck space for toys such as tenders, jet skis and sailing dinghies. In addition, the vast deck space makes room for a fully SOLAS certified helipad with 5000 kg take-off weight for commercial use. The design is modular, with an optional hangar to cover the toys from the worst of the elements.
Its unique bow and underwater body shape enable the SEA AXE vessel GARÇON to reach speeds between 18-25 knots in all sea states, making this a fast and dependable support ship – whatever the weather. She is not just a work horse, however. Great care has also been taken with the aesthetic design and high quality finish of the ship. The bridge interior is finished to superyacht standards and the exterior is painted to the same quality as a superyacht. As visitors to the Monaco Yacht Show will see, the SEA AXE looks like it really belongs in the superyacht environment without causing embarrassment or ruining the view!
The SEA AXE range has already proven successful with the 37m and 50m models already in active service for their superyacht owners, and a second SEA AXE 6711 FYS is currently under construction.
Amels manages the sales and marketing for the SEA AXE range. Amels has been part of the Dutch family-owned Damen Shipyards Group since 1991. The Damen Shipyards Group is the largest shipyard in the Netherlands, consisting of more than 39 shipyards and marine-related companies throughout the world. Damen, a family owned company, employs over 6,000 people, delivered 150 vessels in 2011, and has an annual turnover of approximately €1.3 billion.
