First Run on the Water of the Zeelander 8

Originally called the Z72 in reference to its overall length, the yacht’s new name positions it more clearly alongside the smaller all-new Zeelander 5 and Zeelander 6. Or as founder and owner of the Zeelander yard, Sietse Koopmans, likes to say: “By relaunching the Zeelander 7, we are making a bold statement: Zeelander builds just one design in three different sizes. The golden thread that runs through all our yachts is the same rich, curved aesthetic, sculptural grace and sensuous finish. This will never change and that is why our yachts have become icons.”

In the serene landscapes of the Netherlands, where the gentle lapping of the water whispers tales of the sea, Zeelander Yachts has anchored its legacy, crafting not just yachts, but unparalleled experiences. The boutique shipyard, nestled in the heart of maritime excellence, is where every Zeelander Yacht is meticulously crafted to order, embodying the spirit and tradition of Dutch craftsmanship.
