More about the Zeelander Z44

2012 Zeelander Z44 La Koko

Timeless elegance. Whisper-quiet comfort. Iconic design.

The “La Koko” is a pre-owned 2012 Zeelander Z44, now available through IYM.

This Z44 (Hull #014) is finished in the exclusive Rolls-Royce Titanium color with a light gray deck and white stitching—a understated yet striking color scheme that perfectly complements the character of this model. Photos really don’t do her justice; this is a Z44 you have to see with your own eyes to appreciate the quality and craftsmanship.

What truly sets this Z44 apart is her complete factory refit at Zeelander in 2025. Following this extensive work, she remained at the shipyard and is in exceptional condition.

Work carried out during the refit included:
- Completely repainted in Rolls Royce Titanium
- New upholstery and trim
- Overhaul of the Volvo Penta IPS pods
- Various technical and cosmetic updates

As a result, this Z44 is in exceptional condition for a boat built in 2012—absolutely top-notch.
She is currently still in storage to preserve her exceptional condition, where viewings are also possible.

To give you a preview, we’ve posted this video online—it’s a tour of a Z44 led by a colleague in the U.S. We can assure you that the La Koko is equipped with even more luxury features.

Design & Construction

The Z44 was designed by Cor D. Rover and built by Zeelander Yachts. The result is a 44-foot motor yacht that combines classic lines and modern technology at a superyacht level.

The hull is constructed using a core-infused vinylester sandwich structure, reinforced with stringers and bulkheads for maximum rigidity and minimal vibration.

Thanks to the extensive sound insulation by Silent Line Group, the Zeelander Z44 is known for its whisper-quiet cruising, one of the brand’s most distinctive features.

Key features:
- GRP core-infused vinylester hull
- Esthec composite deck (low-maintenance alternative to teak)
- High-quality stainless steel trim throughout

Outdoor Space & Deck

The Z44 combines classic lines with an extremely practical deck layout. The boat is finished all around with high-quality stainless steel details (including cleats) and a low-maintenance Esthec composite deck.

Fold-Out Swimming Platform / Sun Deck

A distinctive feature of this Z44 is the multifunctional Esthec swim platform, which can be extended into a spacious sun deck. This creates additional lounging space right at the water’s edge.
