Private use. Never operated as a charter yacht. Only 625 engine hours.For a buyer looking for a modern 23-metre yacht without stepping into the significantly higher price bracket of a new build, ZIMA 23 offers an extremely compelling proposition.LOW HOURS – PRIVATE OWNERSHIPThe yacht has accumulated only 625 engine hours, with 2,250 generator hours as stated in the current specification sheet dated September 2026.The yacht has been privately used by her first owner rather than operated in the charter market, making her particularly attractive to a discerning private buyer seeking a yacht with a genuine private-use history.Professionally Maintained by Her Dedicated CaptainDelivered and supported by Mengi Yay, ZIMA 23 has been meticulously maintained and operated by her dedicated Captain, with all routine servicing and maintenance carried out diligently and without compromise.The Captain knows the yacht inside and out, having been closely involved with her operation and care. His extensive knowledge of the vessel, her systems, and her maintenance history provides a significant advantage to her next owner.POWERFUL CUMMINS PROPULSIONZIMA 23 is powered by:2 × Cummins QSM11 – 715 HP eachThis proven propulsion package gives the yacht a 16.5-knot maximum speed and approximately 12 knots cruising speed.With an impressive 1,100 nautical mile range, ZIMA 23 is designed for much more than short coastal cruising. She offers the capability to comfortably undertake extended Mediterranean passages and longer-distance cruising while maintaining the comfort expected from a 76-foot yacht.STABILITY & SEAKEEPINGA yacht of this size needs to deliver comfort not only at anchor but also underway.ZIMA 23 is equipped with Humphree stabilizers with meter-squared fins, designed to significantly enhance comfort while cruising and at sea.Combined with her 1.64 m draft, substantial 5.85 m beam, and carefully engineered hull, the yacht provides the volume, stability and comfort expected from a serious cruising platform.EXCEPTIONAL INTERIOR VOLUMEThe Zima 23 layout has been designed around comfortable extended cruising rather than simply maximizing sleeping capacity.The yacht accommodates:8 guests in 4 cabins + 3 crewThe interior features a sophisticated contemporary design with generous natural light, large windows and carefully considered living spaces.The main salon provides a bright and welcoming environment for relaxing and entertaining, while the dining area creates a comfortable setting for extended meals with family and friends.The accommodation areas feature spacious double and twin sleeping arrangements, modern finishes and excellent storage.The result is a yacht that feels considerably larger than her 23-metre length suggests.OUTDOOR LIVINGZIMA 23 has been designed around the Mediterranean lifestyle.The expansive aft deck provides a superb outdoor dining and social area, while the forward section offers additional space for relaxing at anchor.The large aft bathing platform provides easy access to the sea and convenient access to the tender and water toys.The yacht also carries a tender on the aft platform, making exploring bays and coastal destinations effortless.BUILT FOR SERIOUS CRUISINGThe technical specification is particularly impressive for a yacht of this size:
