Zeelander is famous for creating the maximum owners comfort in their yachts, one of which is the 360° panoramic vision from the wheel house, which is unique in this class. The narrow window frames, the double curved glass, 10 large screens and a full opening aft glass wall gives an exceptional view. Zeelander gives an owner the experience of being on the water and in touch with all the elements without being disturbed by engine or generator noise. No other boat builder is capable of bringing the sound level down to the minimum as Zeelander has done.

The ingenious design of the hull, thoroughly tested by the best designers and engineers, results in the best hull one can buy. Even in rough weather and deep seas the owner will be in total control and able to drive his boat safely, fast and comfortable. All Zeelanders yachts are built with the finest, maintenance free materials. Wood finish look that do not deteriorate. Decking that can be cleaned with pressure washer. The well-engineered boats with combined features like joystick steering, dynamic positioning, automatic trim, cruise control, stabilizer and on-demand information makes boating as easy as driving your car.



Individual Exclusivity

The finest woods, leather, fabrics and other materials are selected for each Zeelander Yacht. As a standard all Zeelander Z55 yachts are delivered with mahogany wood or bleached oak on your individual request with numerous variations in upholstery. The standard interior in either a light modern style or a darker traditional style are designed by the famous super yacht interior designers Sinot. Both can be combined with contrasting upholstery or a tone sur tone combination for an individual design within a beautiful designed frame.



Should you require additional choice, numerous pre-designed solutions are available. During the period of construction we will guide you along these choices in order to create your desired interior. Using the Zeelander luxury selection as the starting point, you can bring in the stylist of your choice to choose the ‘skin’ of the boat – the veneer, the leather, special soft goods – on a tender basis.

Individual customization to the smallest detail is possible, allowing you to make your Zeelander a unique collector’s item.



Drive to Perfection

All the people working at Zeelander have a long heritage in boating and have a drive to use their knowledge and expertise in order to build the best boats on the water.

Moreover at Zeelander yachts we understand that the owners need to rely on the best. For this reason we have continuously focus on the perfection in designing, engineering, building and finishing our yachts.

We have achieved what we feel is the most important thing for a yacht: reliability. See for more information
