Kirilloff & Associates provided all engineering, naval architecture, and design support of the former OSV major conversion to a Shadow Boat to meet the Owners requirements and under the Classification of ABS and Marshall Islands Flag. The 170' converted Paladin Shadow had a large hangar for storage of a helo and other water toys. The two guest cabins went to full beam and were fitted with breathtaking full height windows supplied and installed by Garibaldi Glass and Sikaflex that made guests feel that they were part of the ocean. All crew areas were gutted and fully reoutfitted with new accommodations including a complete and stunning stainless steel galley. A 15 ton crane was installed on the aft deck to be able to hoist almost any reasonable water toy from the water, or helo from the flight deck to the main deck, where it would be stored for transoceanic passages while being stabilized by Flume stabilization. After a successful debut at the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show in 2005, Paladin Shadow was sold to her new undisclosed Owner, and Kirilloff & Associates provided engineering, design and naval architecture support to meet Marshall Islands Flag Commercial Yacht Code and Bureau Veritas Classification.

The 90M M/Y Voyager was conceived by Kirilloff & Associates in collaboration with the Owner in the summer of 2014 and exterior styled by Rafael Ochoa of the offices of Furhmann & Ochoa in 2015 after the concept was lengthened. Shortly after revising the concept plans, Kirilloff & Associates was contracted to identify and purchase the host vessel for the conversion into M/Y Voyager. The HOS Trader, a 225 foot offshore supply vessel, was purchased in Louisiana and the effort to convert Trader into Voyager began. Kirilloff & Associates was responsible for the contract and bid plans as well as specifications that included an aft helo deck and spa, a 40 foot mid body extension and a 20 foot stern extension amongst the countless other additions to the host offshore vessel. Kirilloff & Associates also prepared a feasibility report leading to the repowering of the vessel to a pair of new Tier 3 Caterpillar engines. Most of the major steel work was contracted to Leevac Shipyards in Houma, Louisiana and then the vessel was towed to Ft.Lauderdale, Florida for the remainder of the conversion. Delivery is currently scheduled for mid-2018.
