Completely New, Undeniably Buizen

The new Buizen 60 naturally retains the pilot house saloon, just a step or two down from the cockpit. It allows panoramic vision of the outside world whilst instilling a feeling of spaciousness one wouldn’t expect in a sailing yacht. Also included is the internal helm which has been a signature feature of all Buizen models and which represents a paradigm shift in how a large yacht can be internally helmed in total comfort irrespective of outside conditions.
Its much greater internal volume in the hull allows the new Buizen 60 to offer an Aft cabin stateroom with full head room, sensible dimensions and a generous ensuite bathroom.

Guest staterooms with ensuites and crew quarters are now located forward of the main saloon area in a variety of alternate layouts. A larger gourmet galley on the port side affords double the Corian benchtop space, more storage and a full height fridge/freezer and pantry. Still below decks but with access from the foredeck is the standing height sail loft for the storage of ropes, fenders, sails, outboard motors and all manner of ancillary gear. Naturally, hand built solid joinery and exquisitely finished timber interiors, features that Buizen is famous for, are evident wherever one looks.

Demand From Those Who Wanted Even More

An increased level of enquiry from current owners and prospective customers has inspired Buizen to create a yacht of much larger stature. Now, after 18 months intensive design and planning, comes the eagerly awaited 2009 Buizen 60.
Its design is the result of a collaboration between Anthony Starr Design, naval architects Peter Lowe Design and the Buizen team. The Buizen 60 features a completely new hull and superstructure. Naturally the market expected a craft that retained the same design, performance capabilities and quality standards that have become synonymous with the
Buizen name since the very outset.

Hand Built, Fingertip Control

Like the 48, the Buizen 60 is set up for single handed or couple cruising aided by all electric/hydraulic winches, in boom mainsail furling and a self tacking hydraulic furling headsail. Bow and stern thrusters are standard on the 60 enabling safe and simple close quarter manoeuvring around the dock. A Buizen yacht’s engineering platform provides genuinely serious blue water world cruising within handcrafted joinery interiors and uncompromised build quality. Naturally, the Buizen 60 builds upon these attributes, adding new design and accommodation initiatives in a manner which achieves super yacht levels of spaciousness and comfort.

Increased Size, Yet Optimised For Manoeuvrability

While below deck is imminently spacious, on deck it is a whole new world. The cockpit has been separated from the social cockpit, thus keeping sailing functions separate from socialising and relaxation. The helming positions have twin wheels and are raised to offer uninterrupted vision across the cabin top. Both areas are spacious and neatly laid out,
with the cabin superstructure offering protection for the cockpit. The Buizen signature of teak capped raised bulwarks impart a sense of security at sea whilst teak laid decks in and around the cockpit add to the tradition and distinction of the 60. A new transom garage, which becomes a swim platform when the door is lowered, provides internal storage for all manner of water toys and gear.

More Information

Buizen yachts are not mass produced production yachts, they are individually hand built to order in limited numbers and
are semi customised to each owner’s unique preference. We invite you to enquire further into how your Buizen
60 can be built around your needs and your cruising ambitions.
