GAME CHANGER is a 72 metre (236'22") support vessel built in 2017 by the Dutch shipbuilder DAMEN. She is the fourth hull in Damen's 70-metre segment and can accommodate up to 17 guests in 8 luxurious cabins. She has received a significant update in 2020 and was extended from 69m to 72m in length.

NOTABLE FEATURES: ~Fully certified Helideck and hangar ~250m² of open deck space ~Dive centre with decompression chamber ~Lift system ~Offices ~Stabilizers ~Deck crane ~Long range cruising capabilities

GAME CHANGER is an impressive support vessel that provides the ultimate experience for guests who wish to have fun off the beaten track while significantly reducing the usual cost of ownership for a yacht this size.

She has a huge storage and guest capacity and really offers the ultimate yachting solution for professional helicopter operations. With her 237 ft LOA and 820 square feet of deck space, she is the ideal yacht for those who want to do more with more equipment, toys and staff. She is perfectly equipped to support wide-ranging operations with the benefits of flexible operations and privacy. Her interior is bright, with use of neutral fabrics and light wooden panels.

With an additional interior 110 square metres of indoor space, needless to say, she offers guests plenty of room for any activity on board as well as storage for large water toys.

Her certified helipad on the aft deck allows a large helicopter to be lowered below deck into the safety of an enclosed hangar. She has onboard refueling capabilities also.

Another great feature of this yacht is the dive centre below deck, complete with decompression chamber.

Overall, GAME CHANGER is a massive leap forward in capability, allowing guests to go to exciting new destinations with less established superyacht infrastructure but larger tenders, helicopters and submersibles. With quarters for 22 crew, she also allows for more staff, be they guides, pilots or security personnel.

2018 modifications and an extensive update to the vessel: ~ addition of new guest and crew areas ~ an exceptionally well-equipped dive centre with a custom set-up and tri-mix facilities by Moondog Diving ~ certification for Arctic and Antarctic operations in compliance with the IMO Polar Code.

Game Changer is a Superyacht Crafted for the Ultimate Adventurer

Game Changer is as daring as she seems.  At 226-feet, the support vessel, designed by Dutch naval architect group, Damen , was exclusively crafted for ocean exploration.  Her exterior reflects that, too, her uncomplicated design allows simplicity to reign supreme—making enough room for a helicopter landing pad, stepping down to a deck that fits tenders and toys.  But don’t be fooled, as Game Changer doesn’t sacrifice her clean look for lack of luxury.

Game Changer Superyacht Amenities

Game Changer doesn’t fuss over the standard yacht amenities, no; she has something entirely different in mind. Equipped with a research submarine capable of diving 3,600 feet, a Falcon remotely operated vehicle (ROV), and her own Airbus helicopter for over-land missions with an 8k camera to take hi-definition footage of it all, Game Changer is quite literally changing superyacht industry’s game.

Originally launched in 2017 from Damen’s shipyards in the Netherlands, Game Changer made her debut at the Monaco Yacht Show .  It was there that her owner nabbed the superyacht, and off she went back to where she began—her Dutch home for renovations.  Her new owner had an entirely different yachting experience in mind.

Helicopter Ops On Board Damen Yacht Support Vessels

Why Damen Yacht Support?

There, she was modified with new guest and crew spaces, added to the living area.  A custom dive center was added, and not long after, Game Changer would receive her biggest makeover yet: preparations to make the superyacht Arctic and the Antarctic excursions ready.  Mike Rouse, a representative of the owners said the renovations presented “a long and intense period of work.” Her control room alone is nothing short of a Bond villain’s lair, beckoning for mischievous arctic adventures.

The bad news for Game Changer is that as of late, superyachts desiring to sail in these extreme arctic climates are not certified to do so.  She’ll have to wait until Antarctic getaways become a possibility for superyacht holidays , but when the time comes, she’ll be ready.
