According to Michael Schmidt, the ideal cruiser is the opposite of a heavy yacht overloaded with too many features: “Sailing fun is made possible by a simple ship that has been reduced to the bare essentials without sacrificing comfort. A Y Yacht has to run at a reasonable speed for us even in the lightest wind without having to start the engine. Once you have ex- perienced this, you do not want to sail on any other ship.”

OUR PHILOSOPHY at YYachts

Y8 Luxury Carbon Yacht

ENJOY SPEED, RESPECT THE NATURE

At YYachts we know that speed can only be achieved with lightweight construction. Therefore, YYachts are perfected in many details for low weight. Contemporary, the hulls and rigs in carbon, the interior largely in modern sandwich materials. With a tra- ditional feel and look of solid wood.
At YYachts, saving on materials is also environ- mental protection. Lightweight yachts reduce the operating forces and manage with smaller engines. If required, hybrid drives or energy recovery systems are installed that reduce primary energy demand. Since 2018 YYachts has been a pioneer in this field. With the „Eugen Seibold“ a 22 meter research yacht based on the YX7 was built.

3D Design

3D DESIGN IN BOAT BUILDING

Any ship can easily travel far, if it is easy to maintain. YYachts attaches great attention to the fact that all technical installations can be reached at any time and, if necessary, easily replaced or repaired. For this, our yachts are designed in 3D as digital twins. The positions of all interiors are thus already fixed before construction. Like this we optimize every area of the yacht and you can be sure that you will not experience any surprises at sea. Promised. Every YYacht is unique. Together with you, we design the ideal vessel for your requirements - with the flat hierarchy that is only possible in a family business that is passionate about sailing.

The Y8 Story

"Cool Breeze", a Y8, was the first and thus the founding model of YYachts; Luca Brenta and David Chipperfield gave her an incomparable style. "Cool Breeze" was followed by the award-winning "Makai" - based on the same technical platform, but with a semi-raised deck and interior styling by Design Unlimited. "Vegas Baby" is another evolution with a different exterior design by Lorenzo Argento and with an asymmetrical cockpit and several luxury features well integrated. While the first three yachts had a large central engine room and a diesel engine with shaft drive, the next Y8 follows a different concept with a technical room underneath the salon that houses two main engines with sail drive. This allows for different layouts with the owner's suite either forward or aft to maximize interior space.

All of YYachts' yachts, starting with "Cool Breeze" are united by one motto: a yacht should sail in the lightest wind conditions and be stripped down to the essentials. It was already included in "Cool Breeze", designers wier as Luca Brenta and David Chipperfield gave it an unforgettable taste and style. "Cool Breeze" was followed by the award-winning "Ma- kai" - based on the same technical platform, but with a semi-high deck and interior styling by Design Unlimited. "Vegas Baby" is another evolution with a different exterior design from Lorenzo Argento's drawing board and with an asymmetrical cockpit and several luxury features well integrated. While the first three yachts had a large central engine room and a diesel engine with shaft drive, the next Y8 follows a different concept with a technical room underneath the salon that houses two main engines with sail drive.

NUMEROUS INTERIOR LAYOUTS

Y8 Luxury Sailing Yacht Layout

There are numerous options for a layout of a Y8 below deck. With the available options the Y8 can flexibly adapt to your requirements, with the possibility to divide the front and rear living areas. With this division implemented, the crews’ cabins, the navigation station, and the galley of the yacht are then located in the stern. This is the ideal layout to maximize privacy and remain undisturbed by the crew. With two cockpit solutions, variable headroom, and an interior that can be fully adapted to the customer, Y8 is a sailing yacht which is as individual as its future owner. A large dinghy garage with a transversal storage of the tender is a feature nearly all YYachts share so far. With state-of-the-art technology, the yacht can be handled even by a couple or with very small crew. The Y8 is one of the most customizable yachts in the 24 metre ran- ge providing speed, design, comfort and ease to use.
