BMW will soon be testing the waters in the luxury yacht market, as it has teamed up with Belgian boatbuilder Zeydon to produce a 60-foot performance sailing yacht coined the Z60.
The luxury sport cruiser has already undergone preliminary water testing and is reportedly reaching top speeds of over 17 knots, quite a bit more than the 13 knots projected based on concept drawings.
BMW and Zeydon’s Z60 features a modern and spacious interior with a large master bedroom, two additional guestrooms and optional crew quarters. According to BornRich, BMW’s new performance sailing yacht will go on display sometime in the fall. Check out the gallery below and follow the jump for complete spec on the BMW Z60.
