Forty knots from a single diesel is no small feat for a boat this size.
The ZL7 pairs a Volvo Penta D3 220hp engine with a dry weight of just 900 kilograms, a combination that gets her onto the plane quickly and holds a 30 knot cruise with ease. Her 0.5 metre draught keeps shallow bays and beach anchorages within reach, a genuine advantage over larger, deeper hulled yachts moored further out. Range sits at 100 nautical miles from a 100 litre tank, enough for a full day exploring a stretch of coastline before returning to fuel. Category B homologation confirms she is built for open coastal water, not sheltered lagoons alone, and the numbers back that up: quick, light and capable in a chop.
She reads as a RIB but behaves and finishes like a yacht.
The ZL7’s hull carries the low freeboard and inflatable collar associated with a rigid inflatable, built up with the fit and finish of a small day yacht. A stainless steel steering wheel, navigation lights and mooring cleats are standard, and steel lifting hooks are built into the structure, a practical detail for owners who store or transport her between seasons rather than keep her permanently afloat. At 2.8 metres beam on a 7.25 metre length, the proportions favour stability at rest, useful when guests are moving about at anchor. It is a design built around use, not display.
There is no cabin to retreat to, and that is rather the point.
The ZL7 is built entirely around her open deck, with room for twelve guests to move freely between bow and cockpit. An external shower and swimming ladder make the transition from sea to boat effortless, while a 40 litre fridge keeps a day’s provisions cold without needing to return to shore. A 100 litre water tank supports a full day on board, and a 12 volt socket keeps phones and speakers charged. She asks nothing of her guests beyond showing up, everything else, from sun to swim to lunch on the water, is already accounted for.
Light construction is what makes her performance possible.
At 900 kilograms dry, the ZL7 carries far less weight than a comparable planing motor yacht, which is precisely why a single 220hp diesel is enough to reach 40 knots. An automatic bilge pump and level indicators are fitted as standard, sensible additions for a boat that spends most of her time at speed and at anchor rather than under cover. Built by Zeta Elle in Foggia, she carries Category B homologation, rating her for open water beyond sheltered bays, a meaningful distinction for a boat this size and one that widens where she can genuinely be used.
She is a boat built for a single job, done exceptionally well.
Powered by a Volvo Penta D3 220hp engine as standard, with mooring cleats, navigation lights, a compass and an automatic bilge pump already fitted, the ZL7 needs little beyond a chartplotter and VHF to be ready for the season. A stainless steel steering wheel and steel lifting hooks round out a specification built for simplicity rather than checklist luxury. Priced at 2,600,000 euros, she is positioned as a considered addition to the Zeta Elle range, a compact, fast day boat for owners who want a second, lighter vessel for short trips, tenders and family outings close to shore.
