The new staff are supporting the extension of the yard itself, which has been able to grow on land adjacent to the waterside site in Groot-Ammers, the Netherlands. “Strong demand for Zeelander’s yachts, especially in the US and the Netherlands, persuaded us of the wisdom of investing in sustainable growth,” says founder Sietse Koopmans. “Fortunately, we have been able to do this at the existing waterside site in Groot-Ammers, where we have added building sheds and office space, as well as a dedicated paint booth. We may be growing, but it is not our ambition to be the biggest. We remain committed to being the best. Every one of our boats is unique, built individually to an unparalleled standard of quality. Owning a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1416" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zeelander Yachts (Company)">Zeelander</a> will always be something very special.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/252332/image/large-d710d556931f826ca834c376d6f31695.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/252332"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1416" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zeelander Yachts (Company)"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/252329/image/large-af7ff6f029fa5da4f3abccde601a59fe.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/252329">Zeelander</a> can now accommodate yachts up to 25 metres in length within its paint booth, meaning that all Zeelanders can be sprayed in-house for the first time. The process is painstaking, and similar to that applied to a superyacht. When the hull comes out of the mould, it is faired, painted and sanded until seven coats of paint have transformed it with a perfect finish. The hull is always metallic, while the superstructure is pearlescent, both with the deep shimmer only found on a Zeelander. “By adding capacity to our shipyard we have created new build slots which weren’t previously available,” adds Koopmans. “It means that a select few will have the opportunity to order a new <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1416" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zeelander Yachts (Company)">Zeelander</a> yacht in 2023, where they would otherwise have had to wait several years.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/252327/image/large-ab3135d6e06e9bd20950a8b2a5d9b092.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/252327">“We were always clear that we would increase the model range once we had simplified our offer and perfected our styling,” says Koopmans. “When the first new Zeelander 5 is launched in the spring of 2023, that process will be complete, and we will be able to lift the covers on a new, bigger yacht. More details will be revealed in the spring, but suffice it to say she will be every bit as sophisticated, sensual and serene as our smaller yachts.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/252326/image/large-cb8a2dcbc95be531fa6760b74d7e6cd8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/252326">
