CLB65 represents a new entry point into CL Yachts’ lineup, but she makes up for what she lacks in length with luxurious features inspired by her larger sisterships.
With standard twin 800-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS1050s, the 64-foot, 6-inch yacht can hit an impressive top end of 27 knots and cruise at a respectable 21 knots. The confidence-inspiring maneuverability of the Volvo Penta pod system is always helpful, whether the boat is out at sea or making intricate maneuvers as she pulls into a crowded marina.
CLB65 has multiple helm stations—one on the main deck and one on the flying bridge so that owner-operators can stay protected or fully enjoy the marine environment around them. Additionally, two wing control stations on either side of the aft deck are beneficial when getting in and out of marinas.
An aft galley on the main deck is a first for CL Yachts. The main deck can be fully opened with a hinged door and flip-up glass. It’s an exciting development that makes food service to the salon or the cockpit equally easy, and helps make CLB65 an excellent entertainment platform. The salon has multiple seating options, including a large U-shaped settee forward and to port that will be a focal point for conversation.
The yacht was imagined with volume and comfort in mind. It was built on the same hull mold as the larger CLB72 and has the same beam as that boat. The benefits of this choice are obvious to anyone who steps aboard, particularly in the full-beam, en-suite, amidships master, which has extraordinary volume and great natural light . A forepeak en-suite VIP carries on the 5-star-hotel vibe with a luxurious island-queen berth and lots of stowages. A spacious guest stateroom to port has twin berths perfect for guests. All staterooms on the lower deck have opening portlights to enhance ventilation.
Throughout the interior—which can be done in either walnut or hickory—beautiful oiled veneers and a neutral color palette mean the CLB65 is effortlessly cool and timelessly stylish.
As for outdoor entertainment spaces, the yacht has an expansive flybridge with everything needed for alfresco cruising, including multiple settees, a barbecue and wet bar at amidships, with a hardtop to provide shade for the whole proceeding. A foredeck lounge with a sunpad provides a further entertainment area, and one which will provide much welcome privacy when this vessel is moored stern-to.
