Luxury Yacht Safety in a Pandemic: Introducing ShadowCAT Haven

In the midst of the global chaos, maintaining a Covid-19-free yacht becomes less of a priority than overcoming travel limitations and restrictions. Yet, whenever new personnel or guests need to embark during your voyage, keeping your yacht free from the virus becomes an essential consideration. Australian boat design company Incat Crowther and ShadowCAT's catamaran support ship designer have offered a creative solution to this issue with their latest concept: ShadowCAT Haven.

Acting as a 'protective layer', ShadowCAT Haven aims to keep yacht owners and charterers safe by offering a floating Covid-19 testing and quarantine facility. By helping yachts maintain 'Covid-secure' social bubbles on board, ShadowCAT Haven enables travelers to sail through the pandemic while ensuring their safety.

The Haven, a 224-foot-long (68.2 meters) multi-hull vessel, accommodates 52 passengers and features onboard medical facilities, including a hospital and a laboratory equipped with thermal imaging cameras. Combining catamaran structure, climate control, and advanced nanotechnology surface treatments, this vessel will identify and sanitize any potential Covid-19-related threats, ensuring the safety of all on board.

Upon arriving at port, passengers and crew members will undergo testing in the Haven's 'coastal zone' before being cleared to board their Luxury Yacht. Anyone testing positive for Covid-19 will be isolated in the Haven and provided medical treatment. Once cleared, approved passengers will transfer to their Yacht using speedboats, submersibles, or scuba diving equipment, all of which are provided by the Haven.

ShadowCAT Haven also includes an innovative transit protocol. Before embarking, every new crew member and guest must be tested; with Haven handling all food supplies and logistical transfers to minimize direct contact with the coast. As demand for larger yachts appears to be increasing amidst the pandemic, ShadowCAT Haven offers a potential remedy for travelers seeking safety during their yacht voyages.
