Hodor Unveiled: Where Engineering Mastery Meets High-Octane Adventure

In the rarefied world of ultra-luxury yachting, where opulence meets engineering, one vessel continues to command attention for its groundbreaking innovation and jaw-dropping arsenal of toys. Enter Hodor—a 66.2-metre support vessel that redefines what it means to be the backup act to a superyacht.

Constructed by Spanish shipyard Astilleros Armón and delivered in 2019, Hodor is no ordinary auxiliary craft. Designed by Incat Crowther as a support yacht for the 87-metre Lonian (a Feadship masterpiece in her own right), Hodor is both the muscle and the magic behind a seamless seaborne lifestyle. With her stealthy grey hull and electric orange detailing, she’s more naval cruiser than nautical sidekick—and every inch of her is optimised for adventure.

Hodor houses what may be the most formidable collection of high-performance toys on any vessel afloat. Her garage inventory reads like the ultimate billionaire’s bucket list: nine Jet Skis, four Yamaha quad bikes, two side-by-side ATVs, four trail motorcycles, a Seamagine Aurora-3 submersible, and a race-ready 388 Skater powerboat capable of reaching a blistering 240 km/h.

From sea to shore and back again, her arsenal extends to a Hobie Cat, two Laser dinghies, a 7.3-metre Novurania RIB, a nine-metre Metal Shark landing craft, and a 16-metre Hydra-Sports tender powered by four monstrous Seven Marine 627 outboards. Few vessels—even among the elite fleet of shadow yachts—boast this level of mobility and recreational freedom.

Perched above Hodor’s twin hulls is an Airbus H145 helicopter, dressed to match the yacht’s sleek livery. The dedicated helideck enables seamless transitions between sea and sky, allowing for VIP transfers, emergency logistics, or simply the thrill of arriving with cinematic flair.

This high-performance catamaran isn’t just about flashy toys—it’s also a serious base for exploration. Divers will appreciate the onboard dive centre, complete with Nitrox capabilities, a decompression chamber, and a triage-ready medical zone. Whether guests are exploring coral reefs or plunging into deep-sea terrain, Hodor ensures safety is never sacrificed for excitement.

Despite her utilitarian mission, Hodor offers a discreet touch of indulgence. The vessel features a hidden VIP lounge clad in laser-cut Corian panels, designed by Oliver Design. This tranquil enclave, complete with a sleek bar and plasma screen, is a rare luxury on a support vessel—ideal for guests looking to unwind after a long day of adrenaline-fueled activity.

Hodor is not merely a support vessel; she’s a paradigm shift. By freeing the mothership of bulky tenders, aircraft, and adventure gear, she allows Lonian to retain her pure lines and focus on hosting in five-star splendour. Meanwhile, Hodor remains on-call, ready to launch a race boat, refuel a helicopter, or retrieve a submersible—all without disrupting the tranquillity of her counterpart.

For those looking to explore the limits of luxury, Hodor isn’t just an accessory. She’s a necessity. As the new standard for shadow yachts, she proves that true freedom lies in capability—and that even in a world built on extravagance, utility can be the ultimate luxury.
