At YYachts, we have been working tirelessly to create a high-performance yacht with best-in-class interiors and exteriors that provide spatial volumes equal to those found in 100-foot superyachts. Michael Schmidt’s “concept of freedom” design philosophy involved clearing the boat from all unnecessary rigging, lines, and structural elements to create a clean and minimalist deck. The Y9 is the culmination of our pursuit of that grand vision of simplicity. The 90-foot flagship with the volume of a 100-footer.
YACHTING WORLD Test review by Toby Hodges
Reducing the Y9 to her essentials
Simplicity is the inherent DNA found in all YYachts offerings. By reducing the Y9 to her essentials, we’ve created a yacht that can easily sail in the lightest conditions, while maintaining maximum performance and comfort across all wind speeds.
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.
gracious space for family, friends and crew
We’ve optimized the space of the 90 foot accommodations onboard, providing gracious space for family, friends, and crew, while still providing plenty of room for privacy at the end of day. Five optional interior layouts include a spacious owner suite that can include a separate salon, dressing room, and ensuite bathroom.
salon with a 360° view to the sea
Multiple guest and crew cabin options are available as well. On deck, the distinctive coach roof windows allow a remarkable amount of light into the salon, with a 360° view to the sea. More than an aesthetic element, this design feature helps reduce overheating below deck by diverting the rays of a warming sun, ensuring energy efficiency by minimizing power demands to keep interior spaces cool in hot climates.
redundant reliability and easy maneuverability
Moving aft, the extra-large tender garage can accommodate a 4.3m tender, with space for water toys and diving equipment. The large bathing platform can be transformed in a place to enjoy and relax, providing easy access in and out of the water. Optional hybrid drives and energy recovery systems further reduce the demand on the primary power supplies. Dual engines ensure redundant reliability and easy maneuverability while underway.
custom features to fit your desires
Y9 offers a range of below and above deck configurations, and custom features to fit your desires. Options include a Japanese table at the bow, protected by sunshades, and a range of accessories, materials and finishes limited only by your imagination. For the competitive sailor, the 90-foot Y9 can easily participate in regattas, like Superyacht Cup and St. Barth’s Bucket Regatta, with the advantage of a great rating based on its favorable weight, sail plan, and dimensions.
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, seaworthy yacht that sails fast and brings immeasurable joy to its owner. Y9 delivers on that simple vision in a way no other yacht can.
Sailing Faster
The Y9 is about 30 percent lighter more a conventionally built yacht, enabling its owner to set sail in very light winds.
Proven Technology
YYachts only utilizes long-standing proven components. Time lost due to inferior technology is a no-go on this luxury carbon yacht.
Effortless Luxury
Every Y9 is built to be as energy efficient as possible. It begins with the design of the shipyard, continues with the incorporated build materials, and concludes with the option of installing hybrid drives or pure electric drives and solar technology.

Your Y9. Your Layout.
The spaciousness of a 100ft yacht was achievable on the Y9 in 90ft by implementing many years of design expertise and a clever construction method. For example, the owner is provided the highest level of privacy with his own suite, including a separate salon, dressing room, and bedroom with en-suite bathroom and separate shower. Dependent upon the configuration, up to three additional cabins 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”. Therefore the crew aboard the Y9 reside in spacious cabins with their own lounge.
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 or you may select your own interior designer for the project.
