Builder VanDutch

The history of the company

Vanguard Dutch Marine (the name is usually shortened to VanDutch) specializes in premium open type boats, powerful, fast and maneuverable. The company was established in Heerenveen in 2008 - not a good time to start a shipbuilding business. However, thanks to the excellent design by Frank Mulder and the speed of more than 40 knots that put the boat owner in the position of king «of the marina, the»first model of the shipyard, the minimalist Van Dutch 40, dispersed like hot cakes. To date, more than 160 hulls have been sold. Rapid progress on the French Riviera has been facilitated by the partnership with the Red Bull racing team in the Monaco Grand Prix, while on the American continent the VanDutch stars Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham and Leonardo di Caprio have made the brand popular. From the outset, the company considered the American market a priority, although the VanDutch Center's branded customer service network also covers Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean and Australia. In 2013 a contract was signed with Marquis Yachts (USA) under which the exclusive rights to manufacture VanDutch boats were transferred to this American manufacturer. The company regularly takes part in yacht shows in Miami and Monaco.

Production .

The VanDutch yachts are currently manufactured at the Marquis Yachts facility in Wisconsin, USA, and at the Fano Shipyard in Italy. Headquartered in Fort Lauderdale (USA) and Por de la Rug (France), the design office is located in Amstelveen, Netherlands. Lightweight and at the same time strong composite housings with sandwich type design are manufactured according to the latest technologies, including vacuum infusion and Kevlar reinforcement of key points of the housing for greater strength. Of course, such luxury boats have serious customisation possibilities: the customer can choose the colour of the hull and seat upholstery, on-board electronics and many other options.

Model range

Among high-speed motor yachts of open type there are vessels from 9.5 to 22.6 m long. Some models are also available with hardtop and semi-closed saloon, while the S series includes VanDutch 48, 55 and 75 models with even more sporty character.

Features

Quite inexpensive (but economical) VanDutch boats were able to find their place in the seemingly already busy world of high yachting in the shortest possible time. The fault for this is the Dutch quality and premium design that have made these yachts a must-have for many wealthy water sports enthusiasts.
