Vandutch 55

Onboard the Vandutch 55

The Vandutch 55 reads as a design statement before it reads as a boat: a low, wide silhouette, a flat foredeck that opens into genuine lounging space, and a helm position that keeps the captain close to guests rather than isolated behind a screen. At 16 metres she carries up to 12 guests for the day, with two cabins below for those who want a change of scene rather than a full night aboard.

She suits a short, well-paced day out from a European coastal base — a late morning departure, an anchored lunch stop in calm water, and a return timed around the early evening light. Her open deck plan works for a couple who want the boat to themselves as much as it does for a small group of friends who want room to move between sun pads and shade without feeling stacked on top of each other.

Because she sits in the day-boat category rather than the crewed superyacht bracket, the Vandutch 55 is a practical choice for guests who want striking design and easy handling without the scale — or the logistics — of a larger charter. Booking details, timing and any add-ons for the day are confirmed directly with the charter team ahead of departure.
