Project 85 Naucrates
Discover the Naucrates 85: The Italian Support Yacht Redefining Versatility
In the world of luxury yachting, the Naucrates 85 stands out as an innovative solution for owners and superyachts seeking a compact, efficient, and incredibly versatile support vessel. Designed by the Italian shipyard Cheyenne Yacht in collaboration with the design studio Green Yachts, the Naucrates 85 distinguishes itself with its ability to adapt to multiple needs, maintaining a manageable size while delivering the performance of a true seagoing giant.
A New Concept of Support Yacht
Unlike traditional, large shadow vessels, the Naucrates 85—measuring 26 meters in length—is conceived for those who want functional support without sacrificing maneuverability and practicality. Its name, inspired by the pilot fish (Naucrates ductor), highlights its role as a reliable “escort” for main yachts of any size. The Naucrates 85 is designed to accommodate additional crew, support staff, provisions, spare parts, and a wide range of water toys: from luxury tenders to personal submarines, land vehicles, and even a helicopter for rapid guest transfers. The standard configuration includes four guest cabins below deck plus the owner’s suite, but thanks to an innovative superstructure extension system, additional decks for cabins or sunbathing areas can be added, tailoring the yacht to every owner’s needs.
Italian Design and Onboard Comfort
The interiors of the Naucrates 85 follow a classic and welcoming philosophy: a saloon and dining area on the main deck, large windows for exceptional natural light, and the use of natural materials as suggested by the designers themselves. The wheelhouse also offers an observation area, while the versatile spaces allow for full customization of every detail, from layout to finishes. The Naucrates 85 also stands out for its solid construction: a steel hull, reliable propulsion with two 800-horsepower Caterpillar engines, and a cruising speed of 12 knots—ideal for long passages in safety and comfort. Cheyenne Yacht’s experience in building aluminum and steel yachts ensures exceptional build quality and attention to detail.
