The story of VanDutch

In 2008, amidst challenging times for the shipbuilding industry, Vanguard Dutch Marine, known as VanDutch, emerged as a beacon of innovation and luxury. Founded in Heerenveen, Netherlands, this premium yacht brand, with its signature open-type boats, has swiftly become a global sensation. Designed by the visionary Frank Mulder, VanDutch yachts are renowned for their power, agility, and stunning speeds, reaching over 40 knots.

VanDutch made its mark with its inaugural masterpiece, the minimalist VanDutch 40, which garnered an insatiable demand, with over 160 hulls sold to date. The brand's rise to prominence was further propelled by strategic partnerships, such as collaborating with the Red Bull racing team during the Monaco Grand Prix and capturing the hearts of global icons like Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Current status

From the very start, the brand prioritised the American market while also establishing a robust customer service network spanning Europe, the Middle East, the Caribbean, and Australia. In 2013, the brand inked a pivotal contract with Marquis Yachts in the USA, granting them exclusive manufacturing rights for VanDutch boats. For instance, the brand continues to shine at prestigious yacht shows in Europe and the US.
