With exteriors designed by Howard Apollonio and interiors by Supertomato Studio, the CL Yachts CLB65 SUV combines a spacious three-cabin layout with composite construction, a near-20ft beam and twin Caterpillar C18 engines capable of delivering speeds of up to 29 knots, further expanding the modern cruising lineup from CL Yachts.
A contemporary SUV yacht designed for flexible cruising
The yacht expands CL Yachts’ B Series with a model focused on combining sporty usability with generous onboard volume. Measuring 19.7m overall with a 17.1m waterline length, the yacht has been designed around owner-operated cruising, delivering easy handling alongside substantial interior space thanks to her broad 6.05m beam. Howard Apollonio’s exterior styling gives the boat a sleek and contemporary profile, while the composite hull and superstructure help optimise performance, efficiency and onboard comfort. With a shallow 1.5m draft, the CLB65 SUV is equally suited to island hopping, coastal cruising and exploring shallower anchorages.
Social aft deck living defines the onboard lifestyle
A strong emphasis on sociable outdoor living shapes the motor yacht's main deck arrangement. The aft deck is configured as a relaxed entertainment space with an integrated electric grill and bar-style seating designed for alfresco dining and casual gatherings by the water. Enhancing the connection between exterior and interior areas, the fully equipped aft galley opens directly to the cockpit through a flip-up serving window, creating a seamless flow between the social zones. Large wraparound salon windows bring natural light deep into the interior, while a retractable rooftop further enhances the open-air atmosphere and panoramic views underway.
Bright three-cabin accommodation balances luxury and practicality
Accommodation aboard the SUV yacht is arranged for up to six guests across a three-cabin layout. The owner’s suite benefits from the yacht’s wide proportions and includes an en suite bathroom, while the forward VIP cabin is served by a shared bathroom arrangement. A flexible twin guest cabin can convert into a double berth configuration, offering adaptable accommodation for family cruising or entertaining guests. In total, the yacht features three guest heads plus an additional day head, while including separate accommodation for one crew member. Throughout the interior, the design language prioritises calm contemporary styling and a bright, welcoming onboard atmosphere.
Twin Caterpillar power delivers sporty cruising capability
The CLB65 SUV stands out in CL Yachts’ B Series lineup with twin Caterpillar C18 diesel engines delivering a top speed of 29 knots.
According to YachtBuyer MarketWatch, the world’s largest yacht database, CL Yachts is currently preparing for the 2026 delivery of the 24m CLB80 yacht, a larger two-deck vessel penned inside and out by Jozeph Forakis Design. Built with a GRP hull and superstructure, the model offers accommodation for up to eight guests across four suites, alongside a generous onboard volume.
