Zeelander has unveiled early renderings of its latest flagship, the Zeelander 8, poised to join the esteemed family of yachts from the Dutch shipyard. This addition, an evolution of the highly sought-after smaller Zeelander models, promises the same speed and impeccable finish that has elevated the brand so far.
Characterized by its alluring S-shaped sheer line, gracefully raked stern, and wrap-around windscreen, the gentlemen's cruiser is sure to captivate enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Echoing the effortless curves of its smaller counterparts, this contemporary design exudes a timeless quality, ensuring elegance for decades to come.
Designed by the experienced Cor D. Rover, the yacht's balance and proportion conceal its impressive 23.9m (78ft) LOA. While comprehensive details about the utilization of the extended volume remain undisclosed, it's confirmed that the Zeelander 8 will offer three double cabins for guests and accommodate up to three crew members. The innovative drive-in tender garage, an advancement from the Zeelander 6 and 7, is another noteworthy feature.
The builder continues its commitment to industry-leading noise and vibration control, allowing the yacht to cruise at full speed without exceeding 72dBa. At 38-40 knots, the Zeelander 8 promises a serene and comfortable experience, a hallmark of Zeelander's dedication to the onboard experience.
Construction is well underway at Zeelander's expanded build hall in Groot-Ammers, Netherlands, which has been updated to meet the growing demand for larger yachts. The inaugural Zeelander 8 is expected to be delivered in the summer of 2024.
