ZARKAVA

MOTOR YACHT

Built by Hodgdon Yachts, ZARKAVA is a 26.5M/87’ custom carbon-fiber jet yacht created in collaboration with Donald L. Blount for naval architecture, Pininfarina for styling, and Redman Whiteley Dixon for interior design.

Her advanced carbon-composite hull, vacuum-infused with targeted damping, ensures strength, lightness, and reduced vibration. A triple MAN V12 installation powers twin Kamewa waterjets and a central booster, delivering exhilarating acceleration and genuine 50+ knot capability, with reports of ~60 knots achieved in optimum conditions. For comfort underway and at anchor, she is also equipped with SeaKeeper zero-speed stabilizers.

ZARKAVA underwent a significant refit at her original builder in 2017, including new engines, jets, generator, and a full repaint. Most recently, in 2024, her soft furnishings were renewed, ensuring her interior remains fresh and contemporary.

Inside, her custom Redman Whiteley Dixon interior is designed around streamlined luxury with large windows and high-end materials. The main salon offers a modern lounge setting, while accommodations include two staterooms for up to four guests.

ZARKAVA combines speed, pedigree, and exclusivity.
