The founder

“It started with the desire to create something extraordinary

Driven by
Perfection

Zeelander is a high-end boutique yacht brand specializing in sports cruisers up to 79 feet. Every Zeelander is made to order at the company’s state-of-the-art facility in the Netherlands. Limited yearly production ensures each vessel is crafted with exclusive care and attention, delivering a timeless work of art that embodies Zeelander’s rich heritage and contemporary style.

Zeelander’s journey started in 2002 when founder Sietse Koopmans set out on a mission to find the perfect day boat. One that represented the most refined form of taste and the art of living - but was also free of any noise and vibration.

Disappointed with the imagination of the market, Sietse poured his energy into making his vision a reality. Five years were invested in his relentless pursuit of perfection. Everything had to be curved, silent and with an exceptionally comfortable ride. In 2008, the Zeelander Z44 was born. And so a legacy of excellence began.

Dutch heritage and
Craftsmanship

Zeelanders coveted curved surfaces are arduous and complex to create, and can only be fashioned by the most skilled Dutch craftsman. Each vessel is like a piece of art, requiring between 16.000 - 25.000 hours to build and involving over 250 people, spanning 28 disciplines - figures that exceed any other in its class.

Passion for excellence
Runs in
the family

Creating a legacy of excellence is central to the Zeelander ethos. With a family driven by the same passion for adventure and dedication to innovation, Sietse Koopmans brings the best of each generation to every element of the Zeelander experience.
