The Dutch builder consistently cultivates this neo-retro aesthetic, whose seductive power is unstoppable. A look reminiscent of the lobsters of the northeastern United States, reflected in a curvaceous, traditional silhouette, but without disdaining the comfort provided by today’s equipment. Comfort is also an essential feature aboard a unit with ambitions for long cruises, thanks to its three cabins: a full-width master in the center of the lower deck, a VIP cabin in the bow, also very spacious, and a more modest guest cabin with twin beds. The latter two share the same bathroom, while the master cabin has its own private bathroom. The main deck, too, is yacht-like, with an ultra-friendly cockpit overlooking the huge retractable bathing platform and direct access to the bar, which links to the wheelhouse saloon. Zeelander 6, which conceals a semi-rigid tender on its port side, offers two engine options: 2 x Volvo IPS 1200 (900 hp) or IPS 1350 (1,000 hp). Top speed is up to 40 knots and cruising range 455 miles.
