The Zeelander 8 continues the design legacy, featuring a graceful S-shaped sheer line, a gently raked stern, and the iconic wrap-around windscreen. The first delivery date is anticipated in summer 2024.
With the experienced touch of designer Cor D. Rover, the Zeelander 8's balance and proportion are noteworthy. The yacht measures an impressive 23.9m (78.4ft) in length overall and has a generous beam of 6.4m (21ft). However, it is the clever design that makes the yacht's scale truly appreciable only when seen alongside a human figure.
The yacht's size translates into a spacious interior that promises three luxurious double cabins for guests and accommodating quarters for up to three crew members.

An innovative drive-in tender garage, building upon the system developed for the Zeelander 6 and 7, is one of the anticipated features of the new model. While full details of the interior are yet to be released, prospective owners can expect the same level of meticulous attention to detail and quality that is synonymous with the Zeelander brand.
Performance is another area where the Zeelander 8 is expected to excel. The yacht is engineered with an obsessive attention to quietness, despite its ability to reach top speeds of 38-40 knots. Thanks to the shipyard's industry-leading experience in noise and vibration attenuation, the yacht maintains a serene atmosphere onboard, with noise levels never exceeding the 72dBa threshold. This focus on creating an oasis of comfortable calm at high speeds sets the Zeelander 8 apart from its competitors.
Construction of the first Zeelander 8 hull is already well underway at the shipyard's newly expanded build hall in Groot-Ammers. This expansion was undertaken to meet the rising client demand for larger yachts, showcasing Zeelander's responsiveness to market trends and commitment to innovation. The first hull is scheduled for delivery in the summer of 2024, and anticipation for its launch is already building among the yachting community.
