DOUBLE DOWN

DOUBLE DOWN — 2018 Zeelander Z55

Iconic Dutch craftsmanship meets sculpted elegance in this rare 2018 Zeelander Z55. With her signature continuous sheer, voluptuous curves, and purposeful flared bow, DOUBLE DOWN is a statement of refined presence on the water. Finished in a majestic Bahia Blue Metallic hull and Diamond White metallic superstructure, she is accented by custom hand-painted exterior wood art and Brushed Biscuit composite teak with white caulking. Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS 1200s, she delivers a spirited 38-knot top speed and an effortless 30-knot cruise, stabilized by a Seakeeper gyro for a serene ride. A side-launching Williams 285 jet tender completes her versatility for coastal exploration.

The Stern and Swim Platform

Approach from the water and the reverse transom unfolds into a generous beach-club platform, creating an expansive, level threshold to the sea. Side boarding balconies ease access while the platform itself invites leisurely swimming, lounging, or tender launches. Six underwater lights cast a soft glow for evening ambiance, and the custom stainless detailing and painted wood art lend a quietly luxurious finish to every line.

The Cockpit

Step aboard into the aft cockpit, a sunlit social salon wrapped in updated diamond stitching ultraleather upholstery. A deep U-shaped settee and opposing seating surround a versatile table that lowers to form a broad sunpad, while an adjacent bar with stools opens directly to the galley through an electrically retracting window. The space feels open yet protected, with 360-degree views and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow that defines the Zeelander experience.

The Main Deck Saloon, Galley and Helm

The single-level main deck unfolds as one continuous, step-free living area. The galley, finished in Dupont Corian Verano White, is thoughtfully equipped with additional refrigeration, an icemaker, and a wine cooler discreetly integrated into starboard cabinetry. Forward, the raised dining area centers on a flexible table, with helm seats that swivel to join the gathering. Diamond-stitched Seawave snow-white leather and European oak joinery with dark mahogany edges create a warm, contemporary interior beneath an Ohman off-white leather ceiling. A semi-convertible luxury sliding sunroof and panoramic glass cockpit (double 16-inch Garmin displays) flood the space with light and air, while the IPS joystick and extra stern docking station make handling as refined as the surroundings. A 40-inch television on a custom 360-degree lift and a Fusion sound system with seven high-end speakers and subwoofer complete the entertainment.

The Master Stateroom

Descending below, the full-beam master amidships offers a private retreat of remarkable volume and quiet. The athwartships berth is complemented by a vanity with rising mirror, generous storage, and an en-suite head with a spacious shower. Extra sound insulation and the tender garage’s separation from the machinery space ensure the cabin remains exceptionally still and serene, day or night.

The VIP and Guest Accommodations

Forward, the VIP stateroom provides a second private suite of equal elegance, while the starboard guest cabin offers comfortable bunk berths suited for family or occasional crew. Both share access to a well-appointed day head. European oak and coordinated leather finishes continue throughout, maintaining the vessel’s cohesive, understated luxury.

Foredeck and Exterior Details

The foredeck sunpad invites quiet contemplation beneath the open sky, while the custom-painted caprail and composite teak detailing extend the vessel’s artistry to every exterior surface. Xenon headlights, radar, and a Glendinning shore-power cable reel underscore her thoughtful outfitting.

DOUBLE DOWN is more than a yacht; she is a meticulously realized expression of Dutch design—statuesque in profile, effortless in motion, and intimately crafted for those who appreciate the finest details of life afloat.
