Pelican 80’, a new breed by Olivier van Meer

Olivier van Meer is designer of the world’s most inspired blue-water cruising yachts, developed to take the owners on the ultimate journey of discovery. As a follow up of his successful Puffin® and Zaca® concepts, his latest breed is called Pelican®. The first yacht of this range is an 80’ fast cruiser designed to be handled by two persons.

This new creation has established the hallmarks of a classic that is designed for performance, safety, luxury and built to the highest quality. It is the performance, sea kindness, attention to detail and ingenious use of space that raises her above the competition. Olivier van Meer was one of the first designers who created real panoramic deck saloons without destroying the exterior appearance. Also the Pelican offers a deck saloon with full view. Combining a superior inside steering navcom area with an ingenious central galley next to the cockpit and opposite the raised luxury seating area.|

This light and airy deck saloon is connected with only a few steps to the generous and well sheltered cockpit for comfortable outside living; an unmatched ease of cockpit/galley-to-sea and cockpit/galley to accommodation communication. The separate helmsman cockpit is provided with all equipment for single handed sailing.

Easy access to the hydraulic swimming platform makes this concept the perfect home at sea for live aboard, cruising
and long passage making.
