Challenging preconceptions from the outset, the superyacht sports a distinctive green hull, while her name, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pink Shadow58.0m (190'3&quot;)Damen Yachting2023">Pink Shadow</a>, gleams from her exterior.

The superyacht can accommodate as many as 12 guests across her six sumptuous staterooms, with space for a crew of 18, including the yacht’s captain.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/296665/image/large-3b41e6d3c029134ccac234313ff079bf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/296665"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307907/image/large-bf8c95cec95b1f9bf4f427fb14037ef1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307907">Showcasing a generous interior volume of 1,091 GT, the superyacht provides the designer with a large canvas to express their creativity. “Tasked with crafting an interior that went beyond traditional explorer yachts, our mission was to make the spaces usable throughout the boat while connecting the interior with the exterior and the open water. For style, the owner wanted a vibe based on the film Fitzcarraldo, where a vintage steamboat embarks on a journey down the Amazon River, a reflection of the owner’s love for South America,” explained Creative Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a> Mark Tucker and Senior Designer Sophie Porteous.

Spanning across almost half of the synthetic teak deck, the large space is dedicated to guest entertainment and features rich textures and bamboo walls. Showcasing tropical decor, the beach club’s opulent design reflects the ambiance of a Tahiti island retreat. The large cabana-style cocktail bar serves as the focal point of the beach club, surrounded by tall wicker stools. A large overhead mosaic defines the rustic, pastel-painted bar, while a bold neon pink sign further amplifies the deck’s coastal charm.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307905/image/large-bdf34a13d17caf5dbd5e58a4f94ccf58.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307905"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307897/image/large-ada2293af0e2e8b8ef0ab9155533ce76.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307897">Tribal totem pillars and large interwoven bamboo beams line the beach club, forming dedicated relaxation areas. A formal dining space provides guests with idyllic ocean-views, while cosy lounge areas are scattered throughout. Featuring balconies that lower to extend the yacht’s beam even further, the beach club offers the ultimate entertainment area. Enhancing the yacht's connection with her surroundings, the beach club features suspended sunpads elevated by tender cranes and boasts a luxurious infinity pool. In addition, the designers have incorporated louvre doors as opposed to simple folding doors, providing sunshade and adjustable tilting.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307896/image/large-4fd074d6082cfeb823d42cc0f29de75b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307896"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307895/image/large-29e5478419866245e262a3b52ae3c509.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307895">In terms of accommodation, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pink Shadow58.0m (190'3&quot;)Damen Yachting2023">Pink Shadow</a> consists of three double staterooms, one of which is wheelchair accessible and two convertible staterooms on the main deck, in addition to a large master suite. A variety of bright prints, pairing grand floral wallpaper with patterned carpets and teal-toned walls are on display in the master suite. An opulent chandelier is positioned above the plum velvet bed, while an adjacent lighting feature illuminates the private lounge, showcasing comfortable red armchairs and a beige sofa. The suite also houses a private siesta room, a dedicated vanity area and a spacious dressing room, complete with leather seating. The stateroom’s vibrant ensuite showcases a large statement wall, adorned with a tropical rainforest-inspired design, painted over a golden base layer. The suite’s variety of patterns enhances the yacht’s maximalist aesthetic, layering a mixture of prints, styles and colours with one another.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307892/image/large-dfa0f318c30a14d6ae5e8e1535f5660b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307892"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pink Shadow58.0m (190'3&quot;)Damen Yachting2023">Pink Shadow</a>’s lively decor extends across her guest staterooms. While botanical wallpaper and unique lighting features characterise the guest accommodation, they showcase a more muted colour palette in comparison with the vivid hues of the master suite. Rich-toned furnishings and plush fabrics complement opulent glass detailing to create a charming aesthetic onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307893/image/large-c2916002daf7e20137ab3376f39fdad3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307893">Entering the main saloon, an extensive formal dining table takes centre stage, complete with an abundance of seating. Dark wooden paneling blends with rich magenta tones and deep green leather furniture to form a lavish interior. A glamorous feathered lampshade defines the lounge area, which features a soft curved sofa and a shimmering pink loveseat, surrounding a wooden coffee table, reminiscent of a treasure chest. Striking sculptures and engraved wall art adorn the yacht’s interior design. Notably, the dedicated dining area is characterised by a unique nude sculpture adorned with a sea-shell helmet, while a large globe is intricately etched into the wall behind.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307906/image/large-83488c83c9d4aa181500a28a004d742e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307906">Moving to the cigar lounge, guests can enjoy the ambiance of refined luxury. Drawing inspiration from the 1982 film Fitzcarraldo, a thoughtfully chosen carpet depicting the boat's journey down the river has been specifically chosen for the lounge. A sophisticated interior design extends across the space, combining neutral tones with subdued lighting. The simplistic and elegant design contrasts with the more eccentric aesthetic prevalent in other areas onboard. Leather armchairs, carefully crafted coffee tables and a velvet burgundy sofa, create an aura of vintage glamour. Returning to the elaborate design elements onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pink Shadow58.0m (190'3&quot;)Damen Yachting2023">Pink Shadow</a>, she houses an opulent lift, wrapped in warm rainforest-inspired wallpaper, providing seamless access to each deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/307902/image/large-b88f7cc3790994f093b10deb8e992263.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/307902">Project Manager of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/8158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pink Shadow58.0m (190'3&quot;)Damen Yachting2023">Pink Shadow</a>, Pim Oostra, reflected on the superyacht’s construction, “What makes the SX58 unique, from a build perspective, is that it was the first yacht we fully constructed at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1821" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Damen Yachting (Company)">Damen Yachting</a> yard in Turkey.

According to <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a>, there has been a significant 51% decline in the total sales of 24-metre plus sailing yachts in 2023, with only 51 recorded compared to 105 in 2022. This not only marks a decline after two years of growth but also positions 2023 as the lowest point in the past six years, as illustrated in the graph below. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/297173/image/large-e9706a41deccf3e4753df9f929176789.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/297173">Examining new sailing yacht sales also reveals a significant 42% decrease, with only 14 sailing yachts sold compared to 24 in 2022. This confirms a reversal in the pattern, as new sailing yacht sales had previously increased by 40% between 2019 and 2022, as portrayed in the graph below.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/297174/image/large-ec4471fa5cb16171454cad43cc62ce51.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/297174">Georges Bourgoignie, sales broker at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fraser (Company)">Fraser</a> commented: “on the subject of the decline of new orders my thoughts based on client discussions is that costs that shipyards are quoting have gone up disproportionately making a new build very expensive. These costs are supply chain instigated (primarily from Covid-19) from a few years ago but not soon or likely to readjust again based on my limited discussions with buyers and a few notable yards in the EU.”A significant downturn is also echoed in the used sailing yacht market, marked by a notable 52 percent decline in 2023, with only 37 sailing yachts sold compared to the 81 in 2022. Georges attributes this “in part to a scarcity of good listings, possibly due to owners holding onto their yachts rather than listing them for sale. The remainder of this negative news about sailing yachts may be indicative of a parallel downturn in the overall yacht market.”&nbsp;According to <a href="https://sytiq.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SYT iQ</a>, the largest used sailing yacht sold in 2023 was the 86-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5516" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Aquijo86.0m (282'2&quot;)Oceanco2016">Aquijo</a>, with Gary Wright and Jonathan Zwaans of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/259" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Y.CO (Company)">Y.CO</a> introducing the buyer and Robert Shepherd and Bruce Brakenhoff Jr of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/124" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Edmiston (Company)">Edmiston</a> representing the seller.
