The VanDutch 30 is a 31-foot dayboat that was produced by the Netherlands-based boat-building firm VanDutch between the years of 2013 and 2017. Crafted by naval stylists Mulder Design, this boat proves equally adept as a day cruiser and as a luxury tender for your superyacht, while super-sleek looks will ensure it grabs attention in any maritime setting. A near-horizontal sheer, a monolithic metallic livery and a hyper-modern appearance from profile give this VanDutch the feel of a stealth fighter jet, while minimalist furnishings across the main-deck represent the ultimate in contemporary at-sea living. With a deluxe finish and a sporty appeal, no wonder so many noted luminaries from the worlds of entertainment, sport and business choose VanDutch for their jet tender option.
A full-beam swim platform to stern with a swim ladder offers the perfect place to dive into crystal clear coastal waters, while other guests can watch as you frolic in the sea from a triple-width transom sunpad with headrests. The sunpad is lined in durable and stylish Silvertex upholstery, as is the rest of the main-deck seating, with custom colours and stitching available. A teak-effect Esthec sole welcomes guests into the main-deck cockpit, a cool and contemporary space designed for stylish al-fresco lounging. An L-shaped sofa surrounds a bespoke coffee table with four integrated cup-holders, while a single bench seat hides a mini-wet bar console with a sink, chilled storage and an optional ice-chipper. Up front there is a port-side helm station hidden behind wrap-around windscreen glazing, and the near-horizontal glass dashboard features a Garmin or Simrad touch-screen monitor, a Volvo QL Interceptor Trim system, Raymarine VHF radio, throttles, a steering wheel and optional joystick handling. A comfortable bench-seat faces the helm, while a pop-up Bimini roof can be quickly erected should you require additional shade.
A glazed companionway door leads down to a lower deck living area that features a skylight and mirrored wall panels to accentuate the sense of space and light on this level. Listen to music piped through an integrated stereo speaker system, relax on the V-shaped sofa, store your gear in Corian-lined closets or enjoy access to a fully equipped lower-deck head. When night falls swiftly turn the V-shaped sofa into a sprawling double bed to turn daytrips into long, languid weekends spent investigating the Amalfi Coast.
This yacht is not just avant-garde in appearance, but cutting-edge in terms of performance, too. A sleek, vacuum-injected, Kevlar-reinforced composite hull with a sharp, axe-style bow entry retains balance in coastal waters, while a set of powerful engines propel this yacht to top speeds of approximately 38 knots. Engine options start with a pair of 260HP Yanmar diesel V-drives, though upgrades are available in the form of two Mercruiser MX 6.2 320HP gasoline motors. At cruising speeds of 28 knots you will enjoy hours, if not days, of agile acceleration thanks to a fuel tank holding some 400 liters of juice.
