Following this concept, the yacht should be composed of curved surfaces so that, depending on which angle the sun shined on the hull, you’d see something new. The shipyard uses the highest quality materials inside and out.
The first hull Z44 launched in 2008 at the Monaco Yacht show and impressed so many people who’d like to see closer this project despite that it was much larger yachts. Over thirty hulls sold within 3 years at US and Europe market. The second larger model Z55 delivered in 2015. Together with the designer Cor D. Rover, the Zeelander team pushed forward of yacht design through innovative engineering. They worked on combining a fantastic performance with the smoothest ride, the finest luxuries with the best possible equipment. They produced very stick to memory hulls which once you see, you never forget.
Now Zeelander unveiled the new flagship yacht 22-metres Z72. “An S-Shaped deck line, a wider stern and even more curved surfaces. The exterior design inspired by the way Porsche has its designs over time. A legendary icon is what we envision for the Z72. true yacht building is a form of art. This is our craft ”, says Leonardo van den Berg, Commercial Director at Zeelander Yachts.

Z72 has a stylish luxury décor, huge panoramic windows, glass ceiling in saloon and many social areas for the best possible on board. “The biggest JL sound system on all spaces—helm, galley, aft deck, foredeck, staterooms and even the swimming platform,” says Floris Koopmans, marketing coordinator at Zeelander.
On the main deck, guests can enjoy the open bar and alfresco dining. Accommodation will be in three en-suite staterooms: two cabins with queen berths and the forward master-suite with a king-size bed.
