THE NAUCRATES 85, part of the new Ductor Series by Italy’s Cheyenne Yachts, has been designed principally by Italian design studio Green Yachts to be used as a pilot, escort or support vessel for megayachts. The yacht is built with a steel hull with aluminium superstructure, and provides a helicopter landing pad in the stern.
THE NAUCRATES 85, part of the new Ductor Series by Italy’s Cheyenne Yachts, has been designed principally by Italian design studio Green Yachts to be used as a pilot, escort or support vessel for megayachts. The yacht is built with a steel hull with aluminium superstructure, and provides a helicopter landing pad in the stern.
The large outside deck, completely free, is able to host tenders, dinghies, jet skis and even cars, which can be managed and operated with a powerful crane amidships. The flush deck area can also be used as a beach setup with tables and sun loungers, all with sea view due to the gunwale folding on both.
If required, the yacht’s Easy Plug System, which features pre-plugged systems and easy locks on decks, enables a superstructure to be added on the main deck – such as to provide extra guest accommodation – or the layout to be changed.
The model is not limited to use as a support vessel. It can also act as a standalone yacht and include three double cabins. On the main deck are the dining and living room, while the first bridge, accessible by a staircase, has a large wheelhouse and seating area with a panoramic view.
The modern interior designs employ wood with lacquering and leather inserts, combined with Italian furniture.
