|Yacht
WAYFINDER is a 68.2-metre (223 ft) luxury support yacht built by Astilleros Armon in Spain and delivered in 2021.
Designed by renowned naval architects Incat Crowther, she represents the next generation of purpose-built support vessels, combining expedition capability, commercial-grade engineering, and superyacht-level comfort within a highly efficient aluminium catamaran platform.
Conceived to accompany the world's largest private yachts, WAYFINDER provides the operational infrastructure that allows a primary yacht to maximize guest accommodations and leisure spaces. Her expansive deck areas, exceptional beam, and long-range cruising capability enable her to transport helicopters, tenders, water toys, expedition equipment, provisions, spare parts, and specialist personnel while maintaining excellent stability and seakeeping.
A defining feature of WAYFINDER is her integrated aviation capability. She is equipped with a commercially certified helicopter landing deck and an enclosed helicopter hangar, allowing seamless support for aerial operations in remote cruising grounds. The vessel also features extensive dive facilities, a decompression chamber, secure equipment storage, professional workshops, and advanced security and surveillance systems, making her equally suited for exploration, scientific missions, emergency response, and luxury expedition cruising.
Accommodation is designed to provide comfortable living quarters for guests, crew, and specialist personnel, with flexible cabin arrangements that can be adapted to suit a wide range of operational requirements. Onboard amenities include a fully equipped gym, generous crew facilities, and versatile exterior spaces that can also be transformed into event venues for private functions.
Powered by twin MTU diesel engines, WAYFINDER has a top speed of approximately 20–22 knots and a transoceanic range of around 5,500 nautical miles at cruising speed. Her combination of speed, endurance, and carrying capacity makes her one of the most capable support yachts in operation.
Whether supporting a flagship superyacht, enabling ambitious expeditions, or serving as a standalone adventure platform, WAYFINDER delivers a unique blend of luxury, logistics, and operational capability, setting the benchmark for modern support vessels.
