About this tender

Zeelander 7 - what we know.

The Zeelander 7 is a 20.3m chase boat from Zeelander, built in Groot-Ammers, Netherlands: triple 1,200hp IPS, 40 knots and 610nm of range.

The Zeelander 7 is the build we ask Zeelander Yachts for when a programme demands a 20.3-metre motor yacht that covers ground at 40 knots while remaining genuinely liveable below decks. At 66.7 feet, it sits in a bracket where the hull is long enough to carry seven berths and a tender garage without compromising the performance driveline. Triple Volvo Penta D13-IPS units drive that figure, with an engine noise floor quoted at below 72 dBA depending on the specification chosen.

The range figure of 610 nm gives the Zeelander 7 genuine passage-making capability; this is not a day-boat that needs a support vessel shadowing it every overnight leg. A 6.0-metre beam provides the deck volume to set up useful exterior spaces - the aft deck, a beach sundeck, and a 360-degree wheelhouse view are all called out specifically in the builder's own specification. Produced in limited quantities at Zeelander's facility in the Netherlands, the build programme is intentionally restrained, which matters to owners and captains who take delivery quality seriously.

We would put the Zeelander 7 alongside the better Dutch and German express cruiser yards at this length. The design language is consistent across the range - curved hull forms, stainless-steel exterior jewellery, metallic paint, and a sliding sunroof that brings light into the saloon. The combination of sports-cruiser dynamics and a superyacht fit-and-finish level is the brief the yard sets itself, and the seven-berth accommodation plan suggests it takes the overnight guest count seriously as well.

Highlights

Built for the work.

The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.

Triple IPS driveline to 40 knots

Three Volvo Penta D13-IPS units, available in 1,200 or 1,350 hp configurations, deliver a quoted top speed of 40 knots. The IPS pod arrangement keeps underwater noise low and improves fuel economy relative to conventional shaft drives at equivalent power outputs.

610 nm certified range

A 610 nautical-mile range puts genuine coastal and short-passage itineraries within reach without relying on a support vessel. For a 20.3-metre hull running a triple-IPS driveline, that figure reflects a meaningful fuel-tank specification.

Seven-berth accommodation plan

Seven berths across master cabin, guest cabins, and crew spaces make the Zeelander 7 a functional overnight platform rather than a day-trip boat dressed up in a larger hull. The tender garage adds practical value for owners running a water-toy programme.

Sub-72 dBA sound level

Zeelander quotes an interior sound level of below 72 dBA, varying with engine specification. For a triple-diesel platform at 40 knots, that figure reflects considered acoustic engineering and is a meaningful number for owners who expect a conversation on passage.

Limited Dutch production

The Zeelander 7 is produced in restricted annual quantities at the yard's facility in the Netherlands. Limited production is a deliberate policy, and it has practical implications for resale values and the consistency of build quality between hulls.

Questions, answered

Before you enquire.

How much does the Zeelander 7 cost?

The Zeelander 7 is priced on request: the figure depends on engines, finish and delivery, so the yard quotes each build. SuperyachtTenders quotes new-build and pre-owned pricing within one working day, with lead time and the options that move the number.

Is the Zeelander 7 available now?

The Zeelander 7 is built to order; ask for the current build slot and delivery date. No pre-owned hulls are on the market this month; we track the used fleet and can alert you when one appears. Enquire through SuperyachtTenders for slot, delivery and pre-owned options in one reply.

How fast is the Zeelander 7 and how far will it go?

The Zeelander 7 has a top speed of 40 knots and about 610 nautical miles of range on a 20.3m chase boat. Figures are the builder's published numbers for the standard driveline; a different engine option changes speed and range, which is one of the things we confirm before you commit.

What engine options are available on the Zeelander 7?

Zeelander offers the 7 with triple Volvo Penta D13-IPS units in either 1,200 hp or 1,350 hp per-engine configurations. The IPS pod drive arrangement is standard across both options. Final engine choice will affect top speed, fuel burn, and the quoted sub-72 dBA interior noise figure.

Does the Zeelander 7 have a tender garage?

Yes. The tender garage is listed as a named feature of the Zeelander 7. At 20.3 metres overall length, the hull has sufficient volume to accommodate a garage-stowed tender without significantly compromising the main deck layout or the seven-berth accommodation plan below.

How many people can sleep aboard the Zeelander 7?

The builder specifies seven berths, distributed across a master cabin, guest cabins, and crew quarters. For a 20.3-metre sports cruiser, that is a practical overnight count for owner use with a small guest complement and a working crew.

Where is the Zeelander 7 built?

All Zeelander models, including the 7, are built at the yard's facility in the Netherlands. Production is intentionally limited in annual volume, which the builder positions as a quality-control measure and which has historically supported residual values on the pre-owned market.

What is the range of the Zeelander 7?

The builder quotes a range of 610 nautical miles. That figure makes the Zeelander 7 viable for coastal passages and multi-leg itineraries without constant refuelling stops. For reference, 610 nm covers routes such as the length of the Adriatic or a direct run from Monaco to the Balearics.

How does the Zeelander 7 compare with other models in the Zeelander range?

The current Zeelander lineup spans four models. The 7 sits above the Zeelander 6 in the range and below the Zeelander 8. At 20.3 metres it is the mid-to-upper model, offering the most complete accommodation plan and the longest range of the models below the 8.

The yard

Zeelander

Groot-Ammers, Netherlands

Zeelander Yachts is a Dutch boutique shipyard founded in 2002 by Sietse Koopmans and based in Groot-Ammers, South Holland. The yard builds entirely to order from its facility on the banks of the Lek River, with limited annual production across a current range of four models: the Zeelander 5 (14.7m), Zeelander 6 (17.0m), Zeelander 7 (20.3m), and the flagship Zeelander 8 (23.9m). Heritage models - the Z44, which debuted at the 2008 Monaco Yacht Show, followed by the Z55 in 2015 and the Z72 in 2019 - established the yard's reputation before the current naming convention was adopted.

Zeelander's market position sits at the intersection of the semi-custom sports cruiser and the superyacht-adjacent chase boat. The Zeelander 8 in particular is noted in the industry as a capable superyacht tender and chase platform. The hull form is a GRP composite, vacuum-infused with vinyl ester resin, built to deep-V and modified-V sections engineered for low noise and vibration. Exterior styling - all curved surfaces, no straight lines - was developed with designer Cor D. Rover and draws its proportional language from European sports cars of the post-war era.

We'd put Zeelander alongside the smaller Italian sports-cruiser builders for finish quality, with a Dutch build discipline and a noise-at-cruise figure that consistently sits below the competition. Each hull involves over 250 people spanning 28 disciplines, and build hours per vessel are reported by the yard at between 16,000 and 25,000. If your programme calls for a chase boat that works as a stand-alone vessel for the owner's family rather than a pure utility run-about, the Zeelander range is the first conversation to have.
