Raymarine Collaborates on Electric Superyacht Tender — The Z11

Raymarine – global leader in high-performance marine electronics for the recreational boating, marine first-responder and law-enforcement markets – announced today it has collaborated with Zin Boats on a new, exciting project developing the world’s most advanced electric superyacht tender – the Z11. Associated with Feadship’s Project 821, the Z11 combines marine navigation and vessel automation, unmatched performance and luxurious design that will set a new standard in the marine industry.

In collaboration with Zin Boats, Raymarine has developed a custom navigation and vessel automation experience powered by Raymarine Axiom 2 XL 19-inch and Axiom+ 9-inch chartplotter displays with YachtSense digital switching and vessel monitoring. The Z11 has all of the same unique support systems found on modern yachts, including comprehensive navigation and full communication packages, ensuring safety and connectivity on every voyage. The Axiom displays offer intuitive touch screen control and Raymarine's remote keypads, the RMK-6 and RMK-10, give the operator tactile command of the Z11's navigation and digital switching functions. A Ray90 modular VHF radio system and CP100 CHIRP DownVision sonar round out the system with communications and echo sounding functionality.

"Collaborating with Zin Boats allowed us to push the boundaries of marine interface design, creating a custom software experience that perfectly complements the Z11's innovative approach to electric boating,” said Jamie Dery, Vice President of Raymarine Americas. “This collaboration exemplifies Raymarine's unique ability to work hand-in-hand with visionary builders, delivering tailored solutions that set the standard in marine-electronics innovation."

“We have been heads down working on the world’s most advanced electric tender and electric propulsion technology, which will scale across multiple boat platforms,” said David Donovick, President & COO of Zin Boats. According to Piotr Zin, Founder & CEO of Zin Boats, “The mission of our company has always been and will always be to push the needle of the growing electric vessel space, and we are confident we have done just that with the Z11. We can’t wait to continue innovating and growing with our amazing partners and this industry.”
