A pure custom carbon-composite jet yacht with blue-chip pedigree, ZARKAVA is the first of only two fully bespoke yachts built by Hodgdon, conceived as a custom pair rather than a production series. She brings together exceptional design credentials, with naval architecture by Donald L. Blount, striking exterior styling by Pininfarina, and a sophisticated interior by Redman Whiteley Dixon.
Constructed using advanced vacuum-bagged carbon-fibre composite technology with strategically engineered core materials and acoustic damping for enhanced comfort, ZARKAVA delivers an outstanding combination of lightweight performance, structural integrity, and reduced onboard noise.
Powered by a triple MAN V12 installation driving twin Kamewa waterjets with a central booster jet, she was conceived to exceed 50 knots and has achieved reported speeds approaching 60 knots in optimum conditions, placing her among an exceptionally exclusive group of ultra-high-performance superyachts.
ZARKAVA further benefits from a comprehensive refit and upgrade programme carried out by her original builder, Hodgdon, in 2017, including new main engines, waterjets, generator, a full repaint, and the installation of SeaKeeper zero-speed stabilisers. Complemented by updated soft furnishings in 2024 and subsequent cosmetic enhancements, she presents in outstanding condition. The combination of bespoke provenance, extensive technical renewal at her original shipyard, and extraordinary performance makes ZARKAVA a truly unique opportunity within the high-speed yacht market.
