Saluting an aviator gone west… Made famous by his devotion, creative thinking, and quick decision making, F-4 Fighter Pilot invented the “Pardos Push” maneuver. Present Arms!

Bob Pardo, who left his mark in Air Force history for using an unorthodox maneuver, Pardo’s Push, to save his wingmen’s lives during a bombing mission over Vietnam, died Dec. 5. He was 89.

Why catamarans make for a smart investment when looking for your Support Vessel:

Here are some quick stats that make SHADOWCATS uniquely qualified for your “Toy Garage, Helio Pad, and Crew Barricks” and why the catamaran hull designs are quickly becoming the goto solution:

40% more Capacity (Multi Deck Storage for pleasure crafts, SUBS, and HELIOS)
70% more crane-able weight (Wide Beam)
40% less fuel load needed
Higher MAX Speeds with greater fuel efficiency than with a monohull that must constantly push bow waves like a beginner skier’s wedge.

This is what the founder of Shadowcat had to say:

Catamarans make a lot of sense for support yachts because they deliver more… READ THE ARTICLE BELOW.

That said, catamarans may not be the right choice for everyone. As such, SHADOWCAT introduced a bespoke, monohull option. Now recognized as the industry’s most efficient monohull support yacht, SHADOWOLF meets the increasing demand for guest-level comfort and services. It focuses on passenger comfort and accommodation, while still enhancing adventures at sea. The hybrid, aluminium hull design offers some of the highest speeds of and the superior efficiency for any support yacht available on the market. It’s an excellent option for those who require support and prioritize yacht-level comfort for guests and crew. In short, SHADOWCAT offers the most flexible superyacht support vessels options, down to the hull.

It’s clear that support yachts provide superyacht owners necessary space, carry water toys and provisions, and expand experiences. In this interview, SHADOWCAT founder Robert Smith shares what to consider when commissioning a new support yacht.
