The ocean on your own terms
The cockpit of the YYachts Y9 is so clean it takes a moment to work out where everything went. The mainsheet is gone from the helm area entirely, routed to the fixed bimini overhead so the whole stern is just space: sea air, good company, the kind of ease that used to cost a full crew. A self-tacking jib and a mainsail that needs no backstays mean the Y9 sails when you want to sail, not when you can organise the people to make it happen.
Below, the Y9 delivers a volume that a hundred-footer would not be embarrassed by, configured however you need it. Up to five layout options, a private owner's suite, soft oak and considered light: the interiors carry the same conviction as the deck, which is that the best thing you can add to a superyacht is a reason not to need anything else. The Y9 won the Boat International Design and Innovation Award for Outstanding Exterior Design. It was not given for excess.
