Glacier Yachts / Glacier 68
The Glacier 68 is the flagship of the Dutch-designed Glacier Yachts range, a 21-metre aluminium motor yacht conceived by Guido de Groot Design to serve as both a long-range cruiser and a versatile entertaining platform. Built from marine-grade aluminium, the hull offers a strength-to-weight ratio that translates directly into fuel efficiency and durability in exposed waters.
Accommodation stretches across two to four guest cabins and a dedicated crew cabin, giving owners genuine flexibility to configure the lower deck for family use or more formal charter-style layouts. A beam of 5.60 metres creates a generous main-deck saloon that flows aft through full-height glazing to the cockpit, while the flybridge provides an elevated helm position with panoramic sightlines.
A pair of Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350 engines deliver a cruising speed of 25 knots and a top speed of 30 knots, a performance envelope that balances pace with the range needed to cross open stretches of water between coastal destinations. The 6,000-litre fuel capacity underlines the Glacier 68’s credentials as a genuine passage-maker rather than a harbour-bound day boat.
Designed in the Netherlands and built to a specification that emphasises reliability and low maintenance, the Glacier 68 sits in a segment where aluminium construction remains relatively uncommon, offering a compelling alternative to GRP yachts of similar size for owners who prioritise structural longevity and a lower displacement.
