Our credo is: The simpler the boat, the purer the sailing experience, and the greater the pleasure. This is why our yachts are made to emphasize the essentials of sailing – easy handling, alone or with company, anywhere in the world. Discover the reliability, safety, and comfort that results from our ‘keep it simple’ concept. Our goal is clear: Use the best technology available to simplify and put the joy back into sailing. Efficient hull designs, the latest materials, perfect engineering, and outstanding craftsmanship make our yachts suitable for occasional racing, weekend sailing, or long-term cruising, which of course includes safe ocean passages without the necessity of a large crew. Every luxury carbon yacht we build is defined by the client’s requirements. There is just one thing that never changes: We build a yacht that meets not only our client‘s demands but also our own requirements concerning perfection. SIMPLICITY ELEGANCE PERFORMANCE At Y Yachts, 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 vessels. 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.

By reducing the Y9 to her essentials, we’ve created a yacht that can easily sail in the lightest conditions while maintaining maximum performance and comfort across all wind speeds. The Y9 is perfectly scaled to human dimensions and activities by eliminating exaggerated exterior and interior lines and proportions, as well as ineffectual spaces that are difficult to manage and maintain. Ensuring the owner remains connected to the sea and onboard guests with minimal distractions. We’ve optimized accommodations onboard, providing gracious space for family, friends, and crew, while still providing plenty of room for privacy at the end of the day. Five optional interior layouts include a spacious owner suite that can include a separate salon, dressing room, and en-suite bathroom. Multiple guest and crew cabin options are available as well. On deck, the distinctive coach roof windows allow a remarkable amount of light into the salon, with a 360° view to the sea. More than an aesthetic element, this design feature helps reduce overheating below deck by diverting the rays of a warming sun, ensuring energy efficiency by minimizing power demands to keep interior spaces cool in hot climates. Moving aft, the extra-large tender garage can accommodate a 4.
