Y9

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 clear 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.

With a length of 27.40 m, the Y9 presents the same volume of a 100ft yacht. The exterior design and naval architecture was drawn by Bill Tripp while the interior is the result of a styling by Norm Architects and the experience of Design Unlimited.

According to YYachts founder Michael Schmidt, several discussions with owners were decisive for the development of the Y9: "Actually, customers were interested in 100 feet in length. With our expertise, we have implemented the comfort of a 100-foot yacht on a length of 90 feet. With our new Y9 we are entering the super yacht segment.”

The Y9 generates an incomparable volume due to her transversely arranged tender garage in the stern and even has a separate owner's apartment which consists of a private saloon, a dressing room, a bedroom and a bathroom with double washbasin including a separate shower. A maximum of privacy is guaranteed, which the owner can enjoy with family or close friends.

As all YYachts models, the Y9 is built completely from carbon fibre optimizing performance and making her extremely competitive.

We wanted to push the bounderies there a little bit. We love when we have these different details that you dont only want to look at, but also touch and feel. All these various small details alltogether creates that calm and refined really good feeling that it should be to be on the boat. 

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.
