Bill Tripp designs the 64-footer for owners who want to remain completely private on board.
Founded in 2015, German shipyard YYachts has quickly established itself as a standout in modern yacht building. With successful models such as the Y7, Y8, Y9, and a custom division, the Y7—known for being easily handled by a small crew—has become the bestseller, with over 20 units delivered worldwide. In total, almost 50 YYachts have been sold globally.
Now, YYachts takes its next bold step with the introduction of the Y6—the shipyard’s first model designed for fully single-handed sailing. Created in collaboration with American designer Bill Tripp, the 64-footer completes the YYachts portfolio at the entry level. “For many owners, the true luxury is sailing without a crew,” says Managing Director Tijl Hetterschijt. “The Y6 offers maximum privacy while staying true to our principle: Simplified to perfection.”
Constructed in carbon epoxy for high strength, low weight, and a clean, odor-free interior, the Y6 is a refined world cruiser that can be operated entirely from the cockpit. A racing package optimized for ORC rules also makes the Y6 attractive for competitive sailors.
Below deck, owners can choose from several layouts—three or four cabins, and multiple configurations for the master suite—offering the highest level of customization in its class.
Award-winning Danish designer David Thulstrup is behind the yacht’s interior aesthetic. Known for his holistic approach and modern Scandinavian style, Thulstrup brings elegance and function together. While the Y6 reflects his design vision, it can be tailored to each owner’s taste.
The first two units of the Y6 will launch in spring 2026. More details will be revealed at the Palma International Boat Show starting April 30.
Stay tuned.
