The second unit from Dutch shipyard Zeelander's flagship yacht model, the 24-metre Zeelander 8, has been delivered to her owner.
The new build, named Mojo, follows the first hull, Silver Dawn, which was launched in October 2024, though she stands out from her sistership as the first ever Zeelander yacht with a white pearlescent hull and deck, accented with gold and black boot stripes.
The second unit was designed for an experienced owner who will operate the yacht personally without a crew (though he will maintain the option to hire a captain when desired) and cruise the South of France. Her sale was first announced in December 2024.
Dubbed "whisper-quiet" by the yard, the Zeelander 8 is recognised for its quiet cruising operations, which produce less than 65 decibels even at a full speed of 40 knots. Power is from four Volvo IPS 1350 engines, delivering a range of approximately 630 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 32 knots and up to 2,700 nautical miles at seven knots.
Dutch designer Cor D. Rover is behind the model's slender design, with custom interior additions for Mojo including gold accent details and "glossy" teak flooring paired with leather accents.
Mojo is said to represent "a significant evolution" of the model, with a bespoke deck layout in addition to her custom materials and detailing. Tailored to the owner's lifestyle, the yacht will feature a central island in the main saloon (the galley repositioned for improved flow) as well as an enlarged seating area and sunpad on the expandable aft deck.
At the helm station, further generous seating has also been fitted as an additional viewpoint to accompany the captain when underway. The yacht is also equipped with a Williams 435 Jet Tender and a wide array of watersports equipment, including dive tanks, Seabobs, kitesurfing gear and flyboards, all housed within a dedicated garage.
"Every Zeelander is built around its client’s vision," explained Zeelander chairman Sietse Koopmans. "Some bring bold ideas, others subtle refinements, but the goal is always the same: uncompromising craftsmanship and a yacht that feels entirely personal.”
Other model highlights include generous main deck lounging and dining areas, alongside a lower-deck midship master suite that offers 360-degree panoramic views and more than 2.1 metres of headroom. A "targa" sunroof and retractable aft windows bridge the gap between indoor-outdoor living. In terms of accommodation, five cabins below deck sleep up to nine guests.
