Iconic Marine Group and Dutch Yacht-builder Steeler Yachts will unveil the jointly developed ‘Dutch American’ product line to the public at the Palm Beach Boat Show 2024. The Dutch American yachts are specially crafted for ultra demanding US clients, aiming for nothing less than ‘the best Dutch-built yacht with the best service & support’ for an unmatched yachting experience.
All DA models, ranging from 50 to 75 feet, are constructed in aluminum, and finished to the highest level of Dutch craftsmanship. Aluminum constructions are the preferred choice for superyachts, offering various advantages over commonly used GRP hulls in terms of strength, weight distribution, stability, safety, gloss rate, and customization possibilities.
The DA50 will be showcased at the show and is the first statement of the new brand on elevating the yachting experience for US buyers to a whole new level. Built by Europe’s most awarded Dutch shipyard Steeler Yachts, the DA50 includes innovative solutions making it the most comfortable and versatile yacht in her segment. The T-top can electronically be transformed into a hardtop and the foreship is fully connected with the cockpit area by means of an electric operated retractable glass ceiling. In addition, the interior features two double bedrooms, a lounge area, a full size galley and a separate bathroom and toilet. Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS800 diesels, the yacht reaches a top speed of 43 miles per hour. Compared to GRP yachts, the DA50 benefits from an aluminum hull with a low center of gravity resulting in comfortable cruising without spray in choppy seas. The DA50 was nominated in Europe as European Powerboat of the Year and winner of Dutch Powerboat of the Year title.
Summer 2024, the first DA53’s will be launched in the United States. This 4xV12 600HP outboard propelled powerhouse has been jointly designed by Iconic and Steeler to bridge the apparently inevitable gap between Speed and Comfort. By using the advantages of a strong yet lightweight aluminum hull construction in combination with the proven ability of Steeler Yachts to create exquisite and spacious superyacht interiors, speed and comfort are equally impressive on the DA53. The result is a 55 miles per hour performance yacht with the comfort and versatility to cruise at ease for longer voyages. The DA53 has two double bedrooms, where the Master bedroom is located midships with a French double bed. Glass windows in the hull offer a perfect sea view when waking up. The ‘T-top/hardtop in one’ feature and the retractable glass ceiling over the foreship give her owners the flexibility to easily adapt the characteristics of the yacht to any weather and sea conditions.
End of 2024 the fleet of Dutch American Yachts will be complemented with the arrival of the DA62 Supersport and the DA62 Beachclub currently under construction.
