The ACE 111 sits at the top of the Steeler performance range and is the largest yacht the Dutch yard has drawn: 34 metres of aluminium on a 7.6 metre beam, with five guest cabins and seven bathrooms spread across three decks.
Steeler builds this line in aluminium rather than steel, hull and superstructure both, with double insulated glazing, thermal foam insulation and an Awlcraft paint system. The weight saved is the point. ACE is the yard fast family, and at this size the material choice is what keeps a 111 foot yacht in performance territory rather than pure displacement cruising.
The accommodation runs across a lower deck, a main deck and a flybridge. The five cabins sit apart from the crew area, and the seven bathrooms include two day heads, again outside the crew count. Steeler builds to an owner brief rather than to a fixed general arrangement, so the three published deck plans are a starting point for a conversation, not a finished specification.
Buyers should know this is an announced model rather than a delivered one. Steeler publishes the length, the beam, the materials and the accommodation, and marks propulsion, draft, displacement, speeds, range and tank capacities as still to be determined, including whether the boat runs shafts or IPS. Commissioning an ACE 111 means specifying it with the yard.

She is drawn in aluminium, not steel, and that one choice decides everything else.
Steeler builds the whole ACE line in aluminium, hull and superstructure alike, where the rest of the yard’s range still favours steel. Double insulated glazing, thermal foam insulation and an Awlcraft paint system come as standard, the same detailing Dutch yards use to keep a yacht quiet and finished through a North Sea winter. At 34 metres on a 7.6 metre beam, the ACE 111 is the largest hull Steeler has drawn in this material, and the weight saved by building in aluminium rather than steel is what keeps a yacht this size in performance territory rather than pure displacement cruising. She reads as the flagship of a fast family, not a one-off.
Three decks, and a clear line between owner and crew.
The accommodation runs across a lower deck, a main deck and a flybridge, with the crew area kept apart from the five guest cabins rather than folded in among them. Steeler publishes three deck plans for the ACE 111, but treats them as a starting point for conversation rather than a finished general arrangement, since the yard builds this model to an owner’s brief rather than to a fixed specification. That is unusual for a yacht at this length, where most builders would already have settled the arrangement before taking an order. Here, the layout is still part of what an owner is buying.
Seven bathrooms, and two of them belong to no one in particular.
Alongside the five guest cabins, the ACE 111 carries seven bathrooms in total, two of them day heads serving the saloon and deck spaces rather than any specific stateroom, both counted outside the crew’s own facilities. That ratio, more bathrooms than cabins, says something about how Steeler expects this yacht to be used, with guests moving freely between decks through the day and no bottleneck at a shared head. Spread across three decks rather than two, the social spaces have room to spread out as well, from a lower deck given largely to accommodation to a flybridge built for open air and long Mediterranean afternoons.
What is not yet decided is as telling as what is.
Steeler has settled the material, the layout and the accommodation count for the ACE 111, but marks her propulsion, draught, displacement, speed, range and tank capacities as still to be determined, including whether she ultimately runs on shafts or IPS pods. That is not a gap in the brochure. It reflects how the yard builds at this scale, specifying the engineering detail against each owner’s intended use and cruising grounds rather than fixing it in advance. For a buyer weighing shaft drive’s simplicity against the manoeuvrability of pod propulsion, the ACE 111 is one of the few 34 metre yachts where that choice is still genuinely open.
Buying the ACE 111 means specifying her, not simply ordering her.
She is an announced model rather than a delivered one, and Steeler is explicit about what remains to be fixed: propulsion, draught, displacement, performance figures and tankage all follow from the conversation an owner has with the yard. What is already fixed, a 34 metre aluminium hull, five cabins, seven bathrooms and three decks, gives that conversation a strong starting point rather than a blank page. For an owner who wants genuine input into a flagship rather than a configurator’s drop-down list, commissioning the largest yacht Steeler has drawn is the point, not a limitation of buying early.
