The VanDutch 40 is the boat that made the marque famous, and it is easy to see why. At just over twelve metres she pairs minimalist, instantly recognisable lines with genuine performance, a combination that has kept her a fixture along the Riviera.
Her cockpit is built for a full day on the water, with ample seating, generous sunbathing areas and a well-equipped kitchenette for easy alfresco meals. Below, a contemporary cabin with a convertible queen V-berth, a compact galley and a bathroom makes her comfortable for overnight stays as well as day trips. Up to ten guests come aboard, with a crew member to handle the running.
Twin Yanmar engines give her a top speed of around forty knots and a relaxed cruise near thirty, so she covers the coast quickly and stylishly. Run out to a favourite bay, anchor for a swim, then slip on to a beach club for lunch, all at a pace that keeps the day flexible. Snorkelling gear is aboard for time in the sea, and her sleek design draws admiring looks wherever she goes.
She suits a couple or a group who want the definitive VanDutch, design, speed and effortless style in one boat.
Few boats look this good moving this fast. That, quite simply, is her enduring appeal.
