Zeelander Yachts Launches the All-New Zeelander 8 SILVER DAWN

The Zeelander 8 combines classic and modern elements, maintaining the proportions of its smaller models while offering a spacious deck layout.

Zeelander Yachts has once again demonstrated its expertise with the introduction of its new flagship model, the Zeelander 8. The 24m (79ft) yacht, named SILVER DAWN, marks a significant milestone for the shipyard as its largest yacht constructed to date.

The Zeelander 8 merges classic design with modern innovation —  its timeless look, defined by a flowing sheer line, a raked stern, and a wrap-around windscreen that remains distinctly Zeelander. Designer Cor D. Rover, with Zeelander's in-house team, preserved the proportions of its smaller models despite its larger size. The deck offers a spacious layout, featuring a relaxing area and a large dining table with wrap-around seating, perfect for socializing and entertainment.

Below deck, the new Zeelander 8 offers luxurious accommodations, featuring a full-beam owner's cabin amidships, along with two additional guest doubles, each with ensuite bathrooms. This thoughtful layout combines a superyacht soul with a sub-24m (79ft) hull, providing a high level of comfort and luxury.

In addition, the new yacht offers practical features for enhanced convenience. The bow of the yacht accommodates up to three crew members, providing additional service while ensuring privacy for the owner and guests.

The aft deck of the Zeelander 8 is another highlight, featuring deeply padded leatherette seats that cocoon occupants around a high-gloss table. With the touch of a button, the transom swings open, creating a generous 12 square meter bathing platform, essentially transforming into a private beach club above the water. The yacht tender has its own dedicated garage amidships, ensuring that it does not detract from the enjoyment of this inviting space.

For those looking to personalize their yacht, Zeelander offers a flexible approach to customization. Whether it's the layout of key areas or specific design elements, owners can tailor their Zeelander 8 to reflect their unique preferences. From favorite leathers to specific lamp fittings or carpet motifs, Zeelander welcomes custom requests to create a truly custom yacht.

The Dutch yacht builder has also utilized its experience in noise and vibration reduction in the Zeelander 8. Even at full throttle, noise levels on board remain below 65dBa, significantly quieter than the usual threshold for normal conversation, ensuring a comfortable atmosphere at all times.

The Zeelander 8 is a powerful statement regarding the desirability and collectability of our yachts. But more than that, it is proof of our approach to creating exceptional experiences on water, whether reveling in the handling at the helm or soaking up the delights of a new anchorage."
