“The Maldives has seen a steady increase in visiting superyachts over the past few years,” according to Maldives Yacht Support Director Abdulla Waheed. The idyllic group of islands situated in the Indian Ocean is currently hosting a large number of high profile private and charter yachts enjoying Caribbean-like weather in a unique environment.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157860/image/large-367404b1109982e988cc60b7e74e5319.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157860">According to Waheed, it is the destination’s endless watersports and diving possibilities along with high end luxury facilities on land that attract superyachts to the islands each year. The central and northern atolls seem to be the most popular gathering spot for these visiting yachts, but according to Waheed, the cruising possibilities around the islands are infinite.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157861/image/large-92c1fed13b36494e40a3d9d690c7a401.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157861">The lack of a dedicated superyacht marina means that superyachts are forced to spend their time at anchor here, however, such facility developments are being investigated but would require the financial assistance of a backing partner.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157862/image/large-2f364ac4cf3a441a876216060426c1f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157862">According to Waheed, the Maldives are becoming a popular destination for yachts having completed a summer season in the Med that are looking to enjoy fair weather and an alternative to crossing the Atlantic. From here some yachts venture to Thailand before stopping in the Maldives again ahead of the voyage back to the Mediterranean for another summer season’s cruising. Just some of the yachts having visited the Maldives this past season include Octopus, Savannah, Event, La Familia, Titania and Roma. Superyacht Jade 696 is also currently in the region, which is avalable for charter through Northrop &amp; Johnson. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157863/image/large-f6204efff8df499dab8d51062577cc0c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157863"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157864/image/large-3224a1091b835db2f8504b8122eaf9f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157864"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157865/image/large-2050e82522a665eff60cb0a49a378369.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157865"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157866/image/large-0982a8aaed460f1cff53197c5d1e4220.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157866"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157867/image/large-a1d50cf3c65ca2af99c9720d455ed131.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157867"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157868/image/large-ff31af69f7cc461dda9c5de5c917905d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157868"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157869/image/large-0c16dc1cb054eefd00715d45f2e1f53c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157869"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157870/image/large-d5e274f611d4de88ec06bad84e1c95fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157870"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157871/image/large-fd4b80fdf93caaf2210c6140b1962632.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157871"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157872/image/large-1f1bf64ea4756812cec47fed04f0840e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157872"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157873/image/large-449d985eb872f45294e50311081ef6cb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157873"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157874/image/large-ca6b6597682364e443a974c5b5cf13ce.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157874"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157875/image/large-b150425860568f9251b0856fae4d65c5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157875"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157876/image/large-b952b24bb3fc0be4c764457e3474dd83.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157876"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157877/image/large-de2092633b2405421caffb41d13e1396.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157877"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157878/image/large-037e36b10b966e4839721c7004abece2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157878"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157879/image/large-4dc3613cd2b3050580426fa4bfe22114.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157879"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/157880/image/large-09d3c07c0af9041465bfdd705f0e5a70.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/157880">By Tom van Oossanen, photos by <a href="http://www.maldivesyachtsupport.com/" target="_blank">Maldives Yacht Support</a> &amp; SYT reader

The project originated as a concept in 2019 through a collaboration between <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/vripack" target="_blank">Vripack</a>, responsible for the yacht's exterior and interior design, while <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/dykstra" target="_blank">Dykstra Naval Architects</a>, developed the hull form, sail plan and thruster system.“For years, <a target="_blank">Zero</a> has existed as a vision, a series of calculations, design studies, and engineering hypotheses,” commented <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/companies/dykstra" target="_blank">Dykstra Naval Architects</a> Partner Mark Leslie-Miller. “Seeing her afloat transforms all of that into a living experiment.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399682/image/large-550960652add0596157b41c21cd73c5c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399682">Construction on <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12410" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zero68.85m (225'11&quot;)Vitters Shipyard2026">Zero</a> began in 2023 following an extensive research and development phase exceeding 60,000 hours.

Her elegant profile draws inspiration from the golden age of sailing while incorporating contemporary design details. Zero's classical sailing exterior profile is elevated by her sustainable design, integrating new technologies with an “energy-first perspective” that prioritises innovation rather than optimisation.&nbsp;These include ‘breathing’ masts, a 250-kilowatt hydrogeneration system, hybrid photovoltaic-thermal panels, an advanced microgrid and bespoke control software.

Electricity is produced while under sail through hydro-generating thrusters, while a 100-square-metre solar array captures both heat and light with 60 per cent efficiency. A wind turbine further contributes to the yacht’s energy production by harnessing offshore airflow. The generated power is stored in an industrial-grade battery system with a capacity of 5,000 kilowatt-hours, supplying energy to all onboard systems.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399681/image/large-b4de7511b75a1d3a1c831362bcb98aca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399681">To encourage wider adoption of the technology, the shipyard has made the project's data and systems publicly available through the open-source platform Foundationº.
