74.5m ZEUS Returns to Market at €77 Million Ahead of Monaco

The 74.5-metre Blohm & Voss motor yacht ZEUS has returned to the sales market under a new joint central agency, with Royal Yacht International listing the yacht at €77 million. The brokerage says ZEUS will also be displayed at the Monaco Yacht Show, putting one of the most distinctive high-performance yachts of her generation back in front of prospective buyers.

Delivered in 1991, ZEUS combines a steel hull with the unmistakable exterior profile created by Martin Francis. Her 1,150 GT volume is paired with an unusual propulsion package designed to deliver speeds far beyond those normally associated with a yacht of this size.

Triple-waterjet propulsion delivers 35 knots

Royal Yacht International lists twin 5,000hp Deutz diesel engines driving the wing waterjets, while an 18,500hp GE LM1600 gas turbine powers the central booster jet. The brokerage records a maximum speed of 35 knots and an economical range of approximately 3,900 nautical miles at 12 knots.

The combination remains a defining element of ZEUS. Royal Yacht International describes extensive technical investment over successive maintenance programmes, including machinery, waterjet, stabiliser and navigation work, with a comprehensive bridge upgrade completed in 2025.

Accommodation for up to 15 guests

ZEUS provides six guest staterooms, including an owner's suite and a dedicated VIP, with accommodation for up to 15 guests and quarters for 21 crew. Her curved panoramic windows remain central to the yacht's identity, bringing extensive natural light into the main guest spaces.

Outdoor areas include broad aft-deck spaces suited to exercise and entertaining, while the upper levels provide additional lounging and dining areas. The yacht's combination of volume, speed and unconventional styling gives the listing a markedly different profile from most large yachts currently offered for sale.

ZEUS heads to Monaco Yacht Show

The new central agency brings together Royal Yacht International, IYC and Merle Wood & Associates. Royal Yacht International's current sales profile lists ZEUS at €77 million and confirms that she is scheduled to be on display at Monaco Yacht Show 2026.

The return to market is a fresh brokerage milestone rather than a change to the yacht's build history. Buyers will therefore be evaluating a 1991 Blohm & Voss yacht whose appeal rests on its unusual engineering, recognisable Martin Francis design and continuing programme of technical maintenance and upgrades.
