Dutch shipyard, Stratos Yacht is poised to showcase its groundbreaking DB50 at boot Düsseldorf 2024, following its maiden voyage to the Masters Expo in Amsterdam.
Crafted by the CEO of Lengers Yachts, Bas Lengers, who holds over 40 years of nautical expertise, the DB50 promises to deliver seaworthiness, engineering excellence, and an iconic design. Driven by a commitment to perfection, the DB50 has been developed to dominate the toughest conditions.
A manifestation of Lengers' recognition of a gap in the 15m (50ft) segment, the DB50 combines a superyacht standard of finish with class-leading engineering. Propelled by the latest twin Volvo Penta IPS systems, the yacht achieves speeds of 36 knots, embodying an on-water SUV designed to go anywhere and cruise with ease.
The name Stratos is derived from the stratosphere. This altitude is what we aim to achieve in terms of quality, functionality, and performance."

Built to CE Classification A, the highest rating possible, the DB50 is ready for extended voyages, withstanding winds over Beaufort Force 8 and significant wave heights above four meters. The yacht boasts a spectacular range of 400 to 450nm, ensuring resilience and security for owners. The design philosophy incorporates a special grid unseen in a yacht of this size and a hull constructed from ultra-dense composite materials with a lightweight carbon hardtop.
Working in collaboration with naval architects Sea Level and designer Bernd Weel, Stratos Yacht aims to redefine the 15m (50ft) class of yacht, encapsulating Dutch superyacht quality. The hardtop, a result of a year of research and development, features an eye-catching carbon structure with an automated sunroof, providing a fusion of sun and shade for both the lounge and helm station.
The DB50's interior design mirrors the robust lines found on the exterior, featuring an indestructible stainless steel wet bar, bespoke ergonomic pilot seats, and carbon composite materials integrated for superyacht-level detail.
Personalization is at the core of Stratos' DNA, allowing owners to tailor their DB50 with exterior color options, upholstery choices, teak finishes, and interior selections. An online configuration tool simplifies the process, emphasizing individualization for a unique experience.
Paul Verheij, Stratos brand manager, adds, "Stratos is undoubtedly the best-in-class, and it's only right that the service matches this level of superior quality, providing owners a blissfully carefree experience."
