About Zeelander

Driven by
perfection

Zeelander is a high-end boutique yacht brand specializing in sports cruisers up to 66 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.

The History

From the beginning

Zeelander was born from a desire for serenity, sophistication and freedom - a sentiment that has resonated with owners across the globe. Since the launch of its first model, the Zeelander fleet has expanded to well over 50 yachts.

    and craftsmanship

    Zeelanders coveted curved surfaces are arduous and complex to create, and can only be fashioned by the most skilled Dutch craftsman.
