Zeelander 7 relaunch captured in exceptional new images

Exceptional new photography of theZeelander 7illustrates exactly why this voluptuous #yacht is the ultimatecollector’s item. Effortless curves, the timeless exterior finish and faultless interior stand out in the fresh shotsfrom world renowned Guillaume Plisson. And it marks the conclusion of the Dutch shipyard’s year-longrebranding exercise.

Originally called the Z72 in reference to its overall length, the yacht’s new name positions it more clearlyalongside the smaller all-newZeelander 5 and #zeelander 6. Or asfounder and owner of the Zeelanderyard, #sietsekoopmans, likes to say:“By relaunching the #zeelander7, we are making a bold statement:Zeelander builds just one design in three different sizes. The golden thread that runs through all our yachts isthe same rich, curved aesthetic, sculptural grace and sensuous finish. This will never change and that is whyour yachts have become icons.

”As the flagship of the #zeelander fleet, theZeelander 7naturally has a certain presence on the water. Her tall,flared bow slowly gives way to the deeply raked transom via a long S-shaped shearline, and the low profile ofthe deckhouse is dominated by a single strip of three-dimensionally sculpted glass. With design input fromCor D. Rover, the #yacht is the epitome of elegant down-east styling.Zeelanderhas optimised the generous deck space aft with a sunpad that can convert to a sofa and a wonderfullyconvivial bar area that uses the countertop by the retractable aft window. In concert with the sunroof in thesaloon, the whole main deck can be opened upto function as a single indoor-outdoor area, or divided andenclosed in less clement weather. Either way, the volumes, endless views and proximity to the sea let the spiritsoar and the good times roll.A further transformation occurs when the transom opens to reveal a vast aft platform–perfect for swimming,lounging or just enjoying views of the anchorage. There’s also the option of a hydraulic pasarelle which canbe angled up to the dock or down into the water, and which fully retracts into the transom. For the rare andlucky owners of this boat, the experience is nothing short of total immersion in your surroundings.A capable galley stands alongside flexible lounging and dining space for up to eight in the main-deck saloon.

With an owner’s choice of appliances, and the option of a hydraulic high-low table, theZeelander 7favoursambitious cruising in remote waters every bit as much as it makes a statement on the Riviera or alongside inPalm Beach. Whether it’s just the two of you, or a whole crowd, the fluidity, light and volume of this spacemakes for an easy social dynamic.Below deck, a fabulous master suite occupies the forward third of the boat. Pride of place goes to the king-sized island bed, but abundant storage and lots of natural light also help make this a fine refuge, with its largeensuite bathroom. Together with two further guest suites, the accommodation makes good use of the lavishvolumes and generous headroom offered by the hull shape. There’s a crew cabin aft and even a tender garage accessed via a shell door to starboard. In every painstaking, gently curved detail, theZeelander 7is a smallsuperyacht.“It takes tens of thousands of man hours to build this #yacht, because we obsess over every detail,”saysKoopmans.“Both those you can see, like the painted GRP capping rails which are undistinguishable fromreal wood but require no upkeep. And thoseyou’ll never set eyes on, such as the technology we’ve used tomake the #zeelander7 peerlessly quiet.”Quietness, in fact, is in Zeelander’s DNA.

Using materials, techniques and technology that could teach thesuperyacht industry a thing or two, background noise is never louder than 72dB. And at anchor, it’s just youand the birds, because the boat’s hotel systems are whisper silent.“The sound insulation means that we caneasily hold a conversation even when cruising at top speed,”confirmsthe latest owner of a Z7.“With therear door closed, you can hear the water lapping at the sides of the boat, almost as if you were sailing.”That’s in spite of an exhilarating power package of three Volvo Penta IPS drives. Options run from 3x 725hpengines up to 3x1000hp for an effortless 40 knots or more. From the comfortable, ergonomic helm stationforward, it’s a thrilling drive with 360-degree visibility courtesy of the wrap-around glass. And for the guestsor family aft, it’s an ever-changing view and the promise of a fine anchorage or exciting harbour at the end.What’s more, clever hydrodynamics that are designed specifically for Volvo’s IPS drives ensure that theZeelander 7 is an efficient boat. At 26-knot cruising speed, the range still exceeds 600 miles,making dinner inSicily or lunch in the Bahamas a reality. Intuitively controlled Humphree trim tabs and the option of gyrostabilisation put theZeelander 7in a comfort league of its own under way and at anchor.

“We’re thinking of a trip down the coastto Zeeland, which is appropriate considering the origins of theZeelander name,”saysthe owner.“I’ve long been fascinated by Scandinavia, so we’re planning a route tothe fjords and to visit our family and friends in Norway, maybe next year. That reallywould be the trip of ourdreams.”And as owners often like to bring a bit of home with them, Zeelander’s in-house design team is skilled atrealising unique features and finishes to make each #yacht a unique work of art.“Zeelanders are pretty refinedanyway, but what really appealed to us was the sheer level of customization possible,”continuesthe owner.“We love leather–the look, the feel and the smell of it–so we ensured that our favourite types, colours andweights of leather were worked into the upholstery throughout.

We’ve even got leather floors in thebedrooms!”This flexibility, combined with a unique approach to building each boat one-by-one with a dedicated team,have imbued Zeelanders with real cachet, only ever owned by the world’s most determined and successfulpeople. Just ten of these exceptional boats already roam the oceans, but with strong order books, there are nofurther build slots available until late-2024.In fact, demand from existing ownersis such that #zeelander is building an even larger #yacht to extend thebrand. Further details will be released later in the year as the project develops.
