In a day and time when the fulfilment of goods are being delayed globally , a new luxury lifestyle product has launched with a surprisingly fast delivery time . Introducing the fully bespoke catamaran support yacht Toybox , a new sub-500GT concept that can be completed in as little as 18 months . Developed by SHADOWCAT , a line of bespoke catamaran support yachts , Toybox offers an efficient size and design that also ensures a highly competitive price point when the vessel is built at ARMON Shipyards .
The SHADOWCAT line of bespoke support yachts was designed by catamaran design expert Incat Crowther , of Sydney , Australia and yacht industry authority YCTS , Ltd . Established in 2018 , the working partnership has successfully completed two bespoke SHADOWCAT vessels , the award-winning 66m Hodor and 68m Wayfinder . Both vessels are products of respected Spanish shipyard Armon Shipyards .

Superyacht owners mostly turn to support yachts because they want to reclaim space aboard the mother yacht and have additional space for new toys or equipment on their existing vessel . With most of its support yacht concepts ranging in size from 50m to 80m , SHADOWCAT brings a more compact option to market – without sacrificing the alluring aesthetic and maximum performance , stability , space and efficiency for which the brand is known . ToyBox has a 12-metre beam and a shallow draft . At 48m , it is currently the smallest vessel in the SHADOWCAT line , allowing it to be classed as a sub-500GT vessel , a distinction that subjects the vessel to fewer regulations .
