Innovative 24m Zeelander 8 to make its world debut at the Monaco Yacht Show 2025

by Zeelander Yachts 18 Sep 20:06 NZST 24-27 September 2025

Zeelander Yachts' new flagship, the 24-meter Zeelander 8 will make its world debut at the Monaco Yacht Show 2025 (September 24-27, location C27 Quai Chicane).

The yacht is nothing short of a masterpiece, with the breathtaking finish of its carefully tuned social spaces evident in the photographs, which portray a shipyard at the very top of its game. Along with fantastic volumes and noble materials, it all contributes to the sense of timeless luxury that makes Zeelander yachts so sought after by those in the know.

The 24m yacht became an instant icon for its voluptuous lines and smooth exterior curves. The interior amplifies these seductive characteristics, with elegant curves wherever the eye comes to rest. Every hull is uniquely tailored to the owner's wishes, but number one is a blend of fine leathers, rich woods and deep upholstery, a seamless combination of sophistication, innovation, and craftsmanship that sets a new standard on the water.

In layout terms, the interior of the Zeelander 8 is recognisable from the smaller boats in the range, although the owner introduced significant custom features in the first hull. The main deck offers generous lounging and dining areas and a well-equipped galley, while the three cabins on the lower deck epitomize effortless comfort.

Bespoke features in this first hull include moving the galley from the bar area to the starboard side of the salon, while the bar was moved further back to be part of the cockpit. This in turn made space for a new lounging area.

Like all Zeelanders, a huge targa sunroof overhead and retractable aft doors enable owners to create the climate that suits them best - fully open to the cooling breeze or well insulated for heat or aircon. One of the key features is the master stateroom is positioned amidships, where it benefits from huge windows and impressive headroom in excess of 2.1m.

The Zeelander 8 is the quietest yacht in its class, measuring less than 65dBA even at full speed of 32 knots (the model is capable of reaching up to 40 knots with larger engines). It is an achievement that underlines Zeelander's commitment to pairing exhilarating performance with exceptional serenity on the water.

The new flagship also delivers the signature exterior styling that makes the Zeelander range instantly recognizable, combined with a bespoke interior design and layout tailored to each owner. Beyond its craftsmanship, the yacht's ride is remarkably smooth and stable, ensuring every journey is as enjoyable as the destination.
