Zeelander announce global debut of Zeelander 5

Zeelander has announced the forthcoming global debut of the Zeelander 5, taking place at the Palm Beach International Boat Show.

Joining the fleet of classically styled Zeelander sports cruisers, the new 14.7m (48.22ft) yacht becomes the entry-level model of the range and is said to be a natural progression from the discontinued Z44.

Presenting the familiar sleek curves and tumblehomes associated with Zeelander models, the Zeelander 5 adds a new focus on glass and some clever improvements below decks, attributes that set the latest Zeelander yacht for sale apart from the rest.

On first appearance, the updated look is clear with extensive glazing around the wheelhouse and on the hull. Plus, mullions have been completely eliminated from glazing around the helm, providing operators with complete 360 degree views.

Dozens of small improvements give the Zeelander 5 improved functionality in the service of a refined, timeless character.

With big shoes to fill after its predecessor sold 30 units, the Zeelander 5 optimizes versatility for owners and their guests with the main deck now having the opportunity to offer an open or closed environment with fully opening doors and windows aft, suitable for both warm and cooler climates.

Exteriors have also undergone extensive development since the Z44 with the swim platform doubling in size, and a new sun pad on the foredeck.
