The Zoom 76 is the larger of Heysea’s two axe-bow cruisers, a 23-metre GRP motor yacht built to give the interior volume of a far bigger boat. The axe bow is the point of the design: by carrying fullness further forward than a conventional raked stem, it adds usable length below and softens the ride into a head sea. Heysea quotes room for eight guests across four cabins, with the signature foredeck island the Zoom series is known for, a fully customisable flybridge, and an aft-deck bar and galley arrangement that opens the stern to entertaining. Twin Volvo Penta D13 engines give a 22-knot top speed, and a 4,000-litre tank returns around 700 nautical miles at 10 knots, enough for comfortable coastal and island cruising. Inside, Heysea keeps the 76 naturally lit and open, with the flybridge and foredeck adding outdoor living on top of the main-deck salon. At 1.14 metres of draft she sits shallow for her length, widening the anchorages she can use. For a buyer who wants weekend and holiday volume in a manageable 23-metre hull, the Zoom 76 is a distinctive, space-efficient option.

The Zoom 76 is about efficient cruising, helped by its unusual bow. Twin Volvo Penta D13 engines give a 22-knot maximum, while the axe bow slices into a head sea more cleanly than a conventional raked stem, keeping the motion comfortable and the spray down. A 4,000-litre tank returns around 700 nautical miles at a 10-knot cruise, suited to coastal and island passages rather than long crossings. At 1.14 metres the draft is shallow for a 23-metre yacht, which means she can anchor close in and use berths that deeper boats of her length cannot. The axe bow also adds waterline length, improving efficiency, so the 76 makes the most of her power rather than simply chasing top speed.
The axe bow defines the 76’s look and function alike. Where most yachts narrow and lift at the bow, the Zoom carries volume forward, which both adds interior space and gives the profile its purposeful, plumb-stem stance. The series signature foredeck island turns the bow into a usable lounge rather than just deck space. A customisable flybridge sits above, and the aft deck is arranged with a bar and galley point that opens the stern to entertaining. The GRP superstructure is glazed to keep the interior bright. It is a design that reads as modern and a little technical, distinct from the conventional flybridge cruisers it competes with, and the extra usable deck areas are a direct result of the hull form.
Heysea lays the 76 out for eight guests across four cabins, a genuinely generous count for a 23-metre yacht and the clearest payoff of the axe-bow hull. The interior is kept naturally lit and open, with large windows and a bright, contemporary finish rather than heavy joinery. The main-deck salon connects to the aft deck for indoor-outdoor living, and the forward volume the bow buys is spent on the accommodation below. As with the rest of the Heysea range the 76 can be tailored to the owner, so the exact cabin configuration and finish follow the brief. For families or groups who want real sleeping capacity without moving up to a larger, crewed yacht, the 76 answers well.
The 76 spreads its social life across three areas. The foredeck island is the standout, a forward lounge made possible by the axe bow, away from the cockpit and ideal for time at anchor. The flybridge, which Heysea leaves customisable, is the open upper deck for cruising and entertaining. Aft, the bar and galley arrangement turns the stern into an outdoor kitchen and dining zone close to the water. Inside, the salon gives a sheltered living room. For a 23-metre boat that is an unusually good range of distinct spaces, and it is the reason owners choose the Zoom over a more conventional flybridge cruiser of the same length.
The Zoom 76 is built in GRP at Heysea’s Zhuhai yard, powered by twin Volvo Penta D13 engines, and sold as a customisable platform so owners can shape the flybridge, aft-deck and interior to their use. Heysea has not published a fixed list price for the 76, and as a semi-custom build the figure depends on specification; comparable new 23-metre yachts of this type sit in the low single-digit millions, and the value positioning of the Heysea range should place the 76 competitively within that band. The backing of a yard with more than 100 deliveries over 24 metres is reassurance at a size where many rivals are smaller operations. For a buyer who wants maximum volume and distinctive design in a 23-metre cruiser, the Zoom 76 is a strong, space-led choice.
