the Dutch have always been great seafarers and passionate yachtsmen. One of these people — the Siesta, the long day (Sieste Koopmans) — in 2002, he founded the shipyard Zeelander Yachts. He set himself the task of creating high-tech and innovative production. Thus the concept of the construction of yachts in the segment of semi-custom, which long day began to translate from Dutch care.the period of the shipyard took six years. The first yacht Zeelander was released in hard times, when the global financial crisis struck not only the yachting industry. In 2008 the exhibition in Monaco was shown a high-speed planing yacht Z44, created in collaboration with architects Cor D. Rover.three years after the premiere of Z44 production of this model was translated in USA in the city Holland in the state Michigan. Zeelander has been favorably accepted in the U.S. market. The premiere of the second model — Z68 took place on the American continent in 2014 boat show in Miami.In the lineup Zeelander planing boats of fiberglass are combined with 146-foot full-displacement yacht made of aluminium. On the latter Siesta long day was inspired by his own experience world tour on motor Yat Zeepard. The result is a powerful ocean Explorer Z164, is able to overcome up to 11 thousand miles without refueling and to withstand the harshest weather conditions.in Addition to the quality of execution and advanced technology, the designers of Zeelander focus on reduction of operating costs. "Technology applied at 50-foot Zeelander, will allow the owner of the yacht to bear the same costs as if he owned a 30-meter yacht is another brand," — say in the shipyard.
