2026 Y Yachts Y8 For Sale

For the Y8, the follow-up model to the first-ever YYacht, our design and development team cooperated with Surge Projects. The Mallorcan design studio around Javier Jaudenes has a “knack” for timelessly elegant design but also has great experience in designing fast yachts.

In contrast to the previous Y8, the new model has a wider stern, so that in combination with the mast set further back, Javier Jaudenes attests to the high-speed potential of his design: “A lot of R&D results from earlier projects have gone into the Y8. It is an essence of our experience and will be fast, but at the same time very safe under any conditions. The new Y8 is a lot of fun. I would describe her as a good-mood yacht.

Of course, the new Y8 also offers the innovative standard YYachts are accustomed to – such as the transverse garage in the stern, the self-tacking jib, the separate crew access in the cockpit or the flat deckhouse, whose optimally placed windows prevent the yacht from heating up too much.

By the way, the interior volume of the yacht is 20 percent larger than that of her predecessors “Cool Breeze”, “Makai” or “Vegas Baby” – this results in many different layout options. And by moving the engine room under the saloon floor, the yacht has a lower center of gravity and thus a better balance, which results in additional speed.

Accommodations

The interior of a Y8 can be individually designed for each owner. With its soft edges and coach roof, and flooded with natural light, the Y8 has a relaxing atmosphere.

There are numerous options for a layout of a Y8 below deck. With the available options the Y8 can flexibly adapt to your requirements, with the possibility to divide the front and rear living areas. With this division implemented, the crews’ cabins, the navigation station, and the galley of the yacht are then located in the stern. This is the ideal layout to maximize privacy and remains undisturbed by the crew.

With two cockpit solutions, variable headroom, and an interior that can be fully adapted to the customer, Y8 is a sailing yacht which is as individual as its future owner.

A large dinghy garage with a transversal storage of the tender is a feature nearly all YYachts share so far. With state-of-the-art technology, the yacht can be handled even by a couple or with very small crew. The Y8 is one of the most customizable yachts in the 80 foot range providing speed, design, comfort and ease to use.
