The magnificent ZEN yacht charter was spotted near Dubrovnik, cruising near the northeastern coast of Lokrum island. It was easy to spot her on the water, because she has a very recognizable profile for a yacht of nearly 90 meters.

About the Yacht

There are not many yachts of 80 meters or over that have such a smooth superstructure and such a protruding hull as ZEN yacht charter. The owner of this yacht is the Chinese billionaire Jack Ma, founder of Ali Baba. Because of the owner`s high profile, Fedship has an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) with Ma about not revealing the details of the yacht, including the layout and the design of the interior, but there are several things that are known about ZEN yacht charter.

She is an exceptional yacht with a length of 88 meters, making her the 133rd lengthiest yacht in the world. Built by Feadship from the Netherlands, she was delivered in 2021. This makes ZEN`s journey in the Croatian Adriatic sea one of the earliest voyages in her lifespan.

Yacht Indoor and Outdoor

The exterior was designed by the in-house De Voogt Naval Architects, with her interior attributed to Nauta Yachts S.r.I and FM Architettura. She can house a maximum of 16 guests allocated in 7 suites, and the guests will be under constant care and supervision of 25 crew members.

Because she was built with a steel hull, ZEN yacht charter is great at dampening noise and vibrations coming from her engines, while her aluminium superstructure makes her both fast and durable, achieving speeds not usually possible on vessels of this size. With a beam of 13 meters, guests will have no problem moving through her wide-sidedeck and enjoying the incredible amenities onboard.

Special Yacht Amenities

ZEN yacht charter is filled to the brim with high-tech gadgets in the interior, like a wellness centre, a gym, an elevator, a massage room, a movie theatre and an incredible beach club, which has the capacity to extend on both sides, thanks to its hydraulic wings. On the outside, the biggest amenity on this yacht is definitely the touch-and-go helipad on the forward bow section of the main deck.

There is also a hot tub on the upper deck bow, a jacuzzi on the sundeck bow and an alfresco swimming pool on the main deck aft. Finally, the master cabin has the entire bow section of the main deck to itself, providing an incredible span of flat surface enabling breath-taking panoramas and a feeling of an infinite balcony, expanding endlessly into the aquamarine horizon of the Croatian Adriatic sea.
