Fifty five knots is not a number most 20 metre yachts get anywhere near.
Four engines drive her as standard, rated at 400 horsepower each, with an optional 600 horsepower per engine pushing cruising speed to 40 knots and a top speed of 55. A 3,000 litre fuel capacity supports a range of 250 nautical miles at cruise, enough to cover real distance between anchorages without a fuel stop breaking up the day. The planing hull that defines Zeta Elle’s Yachtrib concept carries that speed with the same forgiving, soft riding character the yard’s smaller RIBs are known for, just scaled up to a much larger platform.
Sporty is the word Zeta Elle uses for her, and at 20 metres and 55 knots, it earns its place.
A low, planing profile keeps the silhouette taut, with open air sundeck space forward and aft rather than the enclosed decks a conventional motor yacht of this length would carry. Underwater lighting and a retractable shower feature at the transom, alongside a wide bathing platform built for swimming and tender access. The 1.5 metre draught keeps her genuinely capable in skinny water most yachts her size cannot reach, a direct legacy of the RIB thinking behind the whole ZL range.
Below decks, the ZL 20 trades RIB simplicity for proper yacht materials.
Two cabins sleep four guests, finished in teak accents, oak furniture and stainless steel fixtures, with memory foam mattresses and smart TVs fitted as standard. A full galley with refrigeration sits close to the main saloon and its dinette, keeping meal service straightforward whether she is hosting twenty guests for the day or a smaller group overnight. A hydraulic system manages freshwater and waste on board, the kind of self sufficiency that separates a serious yacht from a large tender, and two crew are provided for to run it all.
Day capacity for twenty guests is a lot of boat to fill, and the ZL 20 spreads them out well.
Open sundeck areas fore and aft give groups room to split off from the main saloon without ever feeling far from the centre of things, while the aft bathing platform and retractable shower turn the transom into a natural gathering point after a swim. At 4.10 metres of height, she carries genuine headroom rather than the low, cramped feel some large RIBs default to. It is a layout built around a full day on the water with friends, not a single fixed itinerary.
Built by Zeta Elle’s own design and engineering teams, the ZL 20 is priced at around 2.5 million euros new.
She displaces 20 tonnes across a 20 metre length and 5.9 metre beam, with a 1.5 metre draught that opens up anchorages a deeper yacht simply cannot enter. Two crew are catered for alongside four sleeping guests and up to twenty by day, a spread that suits an owner who entertains often but does not need a full liveaboard complement. For a buyer drawn to speed and shallow water access without giving up proper yacht finish below decks, the ZL 20 occupies ground very few builders compete on.
