Zeelander Yachts, a leading Dutch shipyard that creates high-end motor yachts with an elegant New York commuter styled profile, is happy to inform that the construction of the completely new model, the 22-meter Z72 (re-branded from the Z66), enters advanced stages and according to the building plan. The company has begun the hull painting of the very first unit. This #yacht is going to become the shipyard’s flagship upon the launch in 2019.
Zeelander Yachts will reveal full details of the Z72 at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show 2018 (October 31 – November 4, 2018).

The #zeelander in-house team created the interior design of the new #yacht, while the exterior look is developed in collaboration with Cor D. Rover. “Whilst keeping true to the iconic shape, the #zeelander design has evolved”, said Leonardo van den Berg, Commercial Director at #zeelander Yachts. “An S-Shaped deck line, a wider stern and even more curved surfaces. We believe true #yacht building is a form of art. This is the epitome of our craft. The exterior design was inspired by the way Porsche incrementally evolves its designs over time. A legendary icon is what we envision for the Z72.”

A UNIQUE DESIGN APPROACH
Zeelander Yachts’ approach to the design is unique. The company actively involves current owners in the development process of future models. This was the case with the Z72. “One of our closest customers loves a good party”, explained Leonardo van den Berg. “In order to accommodate more of his guests, we collaboratively looked at the designs of the #yacht and developed something that fulfilled all of his wishes. That’s how the Z72 was born.”

IMPRESSIVE DECK SPACE
Indeed, the Z72 is going to be much bigger than the current flagship, the Z55, as it blends stylish appearance with some truly unique #superyacht features. The new model’s length surpasses 22 meters with a large swimming platform open, while the maximum beam is 6 meters. There will be plenty of deck space and she hits the home-run on #zeelander owners’ priorities – a comfortable, luxurious and family-friendly boat that complies with the latest standards.
As her smaller sisters, she will have a sophisticated décor, huge panoramic windows and vast social zones for the best possible guest experience on board.

The shipyard’s creations epitomise style and power. The Z72 will carry the same sporty DNA of the brand. Her top speed will exceed 40 knots.
