<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6721" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Breedendam Yachts (Company)">Breedendam Yachts</a> has unveiled a new concept that marries luxury with performance: the 24-metre convertible Eightzero sports yacht. Her designer, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">Guido de Groot Design</a>, said the aim was to “take a fresh look at how a classy gentleman’s sport yacht should look”. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228374/image/large-5c472d63b58605851267ee8bdd6c1aa3.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228374">“We were looking to try out some new lines to make a much more aggressive 24-metre concept with a really striking appeal for clients in the Mediterranean, and which we expect to be particularly popular with the American market,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">de Groot&nbsp;</a>continued.&nbsp;The Eightzero can welcome as many as eight guests onboard, who’ll have a choice of one of three suites to reside in. She has a master, a VIP and an additional guest stateroom, all of which are fitted with a private ensuite. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">Guido de Groot</a> has written flexibility into her design, and there are various interior layouts and propulsion options available. Her commitment to socialisation, though, courses through each.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">Guido de Groot</a> penned her with a large open aft deck that’s multifunctional and a space where all onboard guests can relax together. A number of seating options are available, catering to the specific needs of an owner. The aft deck will remain uncluttered as the Eightzero has a large aft garage for a tender, a WaveRunner and a collection of other water toys. &nbsp;Another key element of the Eightzero is that her interior and exterior “blend seamlessly together”, as the aft deck can easily become part of the saloon once the area has been closed off with the convertible hood. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/228373/image/large-45db0ee79f754a6a5884bed04dc36d9a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/228373">Performance-wise, the Eightzero can be powered by either three &nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5350" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Volvo Penta (Company)">Volvo Penta</a> IPS 1200 engines, or large twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1409" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MTU (Company)">MTU</a> or <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> engines for those looking for speeds in excess of 40 knots.&nbsp;“We are already quite far on with the design, so this could come to life within two years, providing we had the right client interest,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">de Groot</a> concluded.&nbsp;
