CL Yachts has launched the first 19.7-metre CLB65 SUV in Zhuhai, featuring an owner-operator layout and speeds exceeding 29 knots.
CL Yachts has launched the first CLB65 SUV at its production facility in Zhuhai, China. The 19.7-metre model represents a sportier and versatile evolution of CLB65 platform, featuring an SUV-style layout designed for owner-operators. First unveiled in May 2025 and entering construction in the second quarter of the same year, CLB65 SUV has now been launched in line with the planned development timeline. Sea trials are scheduled for April, ahead of the yacht’s official premiere in Hong Kong.
As part of the B-Series, CLB65 SUV combines practical deck circulation with flexible use of space while maintaining the performance and comfort standards associated with the series. Twin Caterpillar C18 or Volvo Penta D13 diesel engines provide propulsion, with an expected top speed of 29 plus knots at half load. For enhanced maneuverability, the ZF JMS control system is available and can be operated from either wing station. Owners may choose RINA Hull Construction or CE Category B Class certification.
The interior, designed by Supertomato Studio, adopts a contemporary approach with natural materials and understated detailing. Owners can select walnut or white oak finishes. On the main deck, the aft deck, galley and salon are arranged on a single level to create a continuous living area. Accommodation on the lower deck comprises a full-beam master stateroom, a VIP cabin, and a convertible guest cabin.
“Launching the first CLB65 SUV is an important milestone for our team,” said Martin Lo, Director of CL Yachts. “This model expands our B-Series with a flexible layout well suited for owner operation, while retaining the build quality and performance standards our clients expect.”
Following sea trials, CLB65 SUV will be presented to clients and brokers in Hong Kong, marking the next step in CL Yachts’ strategic growth across the Asia-Pacific region.
