Dating to 1976, Netherlands-based Breedendam Yachts has earned a reputation for retro-style yachts. In conjunction with designer Guido de Groot, the builder believes its latest superyacht concept will appeal to Americans, a new market for it. The Eightzero Sport reinterprets “how a classy gentleman’s sport yacht should look,” the designer says.
The 79-footer (24-meter) sprang somewhat from two smaller boats from the pair. Those notably incorporate British naval design cues from World War II. U.S. customers, though, might consider them more Downeast style, or even picnic-boat style. Regardless, de Groot and Breedendam wanted “a much more aggressive” look, de Groot says, suiting the Med as well as American tastes. The Eightzero Sport therefore is an open yacht, with flexible spaces.
For instance, the aft deck naturally can be a chill-out space, with loose furnishings. In typical open-yacht fashion, the interior saloon can unite with the aft deck by keeping the sliding-glass doors open. However, the deck area also suits the crew launching tenders and toys from the garage below. Farther forward, meanwhile, a big, open entertaining area with configurable seating sits just forward of the wheelhouse.
Interiors areas of the all-aluminum Breedendam Eightzero Sport are equally open to arranging. The shipyard and designer suggest three staterooms, including the master, for eight guests. Simply two crewmembers, sharing a cabin, can handle the yacht, too.
That handling should be pretty impressive. With naval architecture from Studio Delta, the deep-V yacht pledges a top speed of 32 knots at half load with triple Volvo Penta IPS propulsion. Should you crave more speed, opt for twin MTUs or MANs, which should delivery upwards of 40 knots.
Delivery can take place within two years, according to de Groot, given the advanced status of the design.
