create your individual Superyacht
Our Y9 is unique and so is every single Y9. Above all, she is as individual as our customers themselves, because her layout and equipment are completely variable. Complementing this, the Y9 offers the volume of a 100-foot yacht in 90 feet. And she is available in three exciting versions – Y9, Y9 Pilot House, Y9 Custom.
The main focus for Y9 owners is spending time with family and friends on board. As a result, the 90-foot carbon sailing yacht is easy to sail even with a small crew. Her interior design fulfills and even extends all owners' wishes for a family yacht with sufficient privacy while they travel the world. Of course, the Y9 can also prove her potential on regatta courses in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean and sail right at the front of the field. She will be a formidable opponent in any regatta.
Like all YYachts, the Y9 follows a clear design philosophy - reducing all unnecessary superstructure and components to create a clean and minimalist deck: Keep it simple. Look good and sail nicely.
The Y9
BRINGS IMMEASURABLE JOY TO ITS OWNER
The luxury of being able to set out to sea self-sufficiently and with confidence is priceless. Even more enjoyable, is a comfortable, high performance and seaworthy yacht that sails fast and looks cool. Our Y9 delivers that in a way no other yacht can.
Toby Hodges on the new Y9
Stylish lines and details
Speed, large interior spaces and a cutting-edge look characterize our Y9
Our brand new Y9 is the logical continuation of our models Y7 and Y8. The development of the Y9 was driven by requests from customers for an easy to sail and fast yacht that requires a small crew and has a fantastic volume.
Performance
Already during her first test runs, the Y9 reached a speed of 26 knots. The total sail area is over 1000 square meters.
Stern view
The cockpit of the Y9 is extremely spacious, even larger groups have room. The distance to the helm stations is nevertheless short.
Lines
The exterior design was developed for YYachts by world-renowned US designer Bill Tripp. Sleek, elegant lines characterize the look.
Detail
Including its bowsprit, the Y9 is almost 30 meters long. This puts it squarely in the superyacht segment.
Potential
The Y9 has an interesting rating and is well suited to win trophies at maxi regattas.
Sailing fun
YYachts builds as light and safe as possible. This guarantees sailing fun even when other yachts are still motoring.
At anchor
The Y9 doesn't just cut a fine figure under sail. At anchor, its enormous deck area is once again made clear.
Cockpit
A hardtop permanently shades the cockpit of the first Y9. Solar cells are installed on the roof to provide energy for hotel operations.
Lightweight construction
Thanks to its carbon construction and the use of lightweight materials, the Y9 already sets sail in light winds.
Sustainability
The windows are well dimensioned. They let plenty of light into the interior, but keep the heat out. This minimizes the use of air conditioning.
Sail area
The Y9's gennaker alone measures 617 square meters. Of course, every Y9 owner can choose the make of the sail wardrobe himself.
Rig
The mast and boom of the Y9 are also made of carbon. They are manufactured by a highly specialized supplier.
Y9 excellence
Y9 is the Flagship of YYachts range with a remarkable Design of Bill Tripp Naval Architecture. The Hull, structure, Deck and rigs are entirely in carbon fiber to reduce unnecessary weight.
Y9 pilot house makes the difference
At the anchor Y9 Pilot House cuts a very good figure and attracts attention in every bay. The deckhouse fits wonderfully into the lines developed by US designer Bill Tripp.
Y9 unique colors
The Y9 is truly unique, just like our customers. That's why there are no limits when it comes to design. The yard's sophisticated craftsmanship realizes the customer's wishes.
Y9 pilot house for more panoramic views
Above its clean, uncluttered deck, the Y9 Pilot House features a carbon rig. A circumferential railing provides the necessary sense of security.
Y9 more freedom on the water
The lounge-like bathing platform offers even more peace and freedom. Enjoy peace and quiet in a private atmosphere while being close to the water.
Y9 pilot house, fast on the water
Under sail, the Y9 Pilot House offers very good performance, like any YYacht, due to its lightweight construction. The well thought-out concept allows the Y9 to be sailed with a very small crew.
Y9 Individuality and privacy
With its length of 90 feet, the Y9 offers the highest degree of individuality and privacy, when sailing or at anchor, with family and friends.
Y9 Comfort, Performance and Design
Outstanding space in the cockpit area to be used both with guests and in regattas due to the incredible easy handling and performances of Y9.
Y9 casual and performance sailing
Amazing Beach club in the stern of Y9 emphasizes the dimensions and the outdoor summer living. This space can be equipped with watersport equipment and tenders for guaranteed fun.

Y9 Sailing Yacht - Space for your ideas
Your Y9. Your Layout.
The spaciousness of a 100ft yacht was achievable on the Y9 in 90ft by implementing many years of expertise in design and construction. The owner is provided the highest level of privacy with his own apartment; dependent upon the configuration, up to three additional suites are available for guests. Considerable importance was given to the design of the crew area, after all an unwritten rule in yachting is “happy crew, happy owner”.
There are various layouts available for the Y9 in addition to numerous interior furnishing options. The YYachts team will work with each owner to personalize their interior. You may also select your own interior designer for the project.

THE Y9 PILOT HOUSE
GRACIOUS SPACE FOR FAMILYAND FRIENDS
The Y9 Pilot House is the second version of the Y9 category and features a striking deckhouse that offers a very bright salon and phenomenal views at the sea. The layout of the Y9 Pilot House is optimized for families and friends to enjoy extensive cruising. Andrew Winch and his experienced team designed a sophisticated atmosphere below deck.
scaled to human dimensions
The Y9 is perfectly scaled to human dimensions and activities by eliminating exaggerated exterior and interior lines and proportions, as well as ineffectual spaces that are difficult to manage and maintain. Ensuring the owner remains connected to the sea and onboard guest with minimal distractions.
Perfect view to the sea
Several guest and crew cabin options are available for the Y9 Pilot House. The distinctive coach roof floods the salon with abundant daylight, which also boasts 360° views of the sea. This coach roof design is not only an aesthetic element, but also helps to reduce overheating below deck by deflecting the rays of the warming sun and minimizing the energy required to keep the interior cool in hot climates. This is just one of the aspects defining the Y9 as a sustainable yacht.
The Y9 custom
Completely individual 90 feet from YYachts
We can also start a 90-foot yacht with a white piece of paper and implement a design that has never existed before – you will receive a yacht which is yours and only yours.
