The VanDutch 48 is a 47-foot dayboat that was launched by the iconic Netherlands-based boat-building firm VanDutch in 2020. The ultimate vessel in its class, this sleek and hyper-modern yacht bears a distinctive monolithic form with a sheer, metallic livery, sharp lines and a cool, minimalist approach to design. There appears to be nothing extraneous about this yacht’s fine form, though on closer inspection you will be impressed by lavish, contemporary surrounds, high-tech handling and the raw power of its engines. The ideal size to complement your megayacht, this mesmerizing watercraft is also perfect for longer island-hopping trips thanks to a capacious lower deck living space dripping in style.

A hydraulic bathing platform at the stern provides the ideal spot to set off on swimming or snorkeling trips in warm and placid waters, while a step-up leads to a triple-width rear sunpad with a headrest where you can lounge for hours in unimpeded sunshine. The sunpad connects to a transom sofa in a cockpit with a teak-effect sole, where you will also encounter a pair of L-shaped sofas in the Silvertex fabric of your choice surrounding a bespoke coffee table with cup-holders. Up front there is a well-equipped wet-bar station to starboard with an optional ice-chipper, from where you will stir Martinis and keep your guests well-refreshed. To port sits a twin sofa facing an innovative Volvo Glass Cockpit system including 2 16-inch multi-function Garmin touchscreens, thruster controls, electric throttles, hand-held VHF radio, a Mastervolt C-Zone data display screen and power steering, while budding DJs aboard your yacht may want to get their hands on the controls for the boat’s integrated Fusion speaker system.
A glazed companionway door leads down to a surprising amount of space for a boat of this class. A clean and cool theme dominates down here, with surfaces in white, counters in Corian and furnishings with a contemporary and minimalist look. There are two standard layouts on offer on this level, with a Lounge set-up featuring a V-shaped sofa to the bow and a cinema room with a sofa and a wall-mounted HD television unit to aft. If you choose the Sleep option then you will exchange the bow sofa for a queen-sized bed, and the cinema room for a twin cabin. In both editions you will find an open galley with cooking appliances, refrigeration and a sink as well as recessed lighting and a pair of skylights. There’s also a lavish head on this level with a spa-like feel, a bucket-style sink, mirrored cabinets and a glass-enclosed shower stall with bench-seating.
The standard engine option for this model is a pair of Volvo Penta D11-625HP diesel shaft-drives delivering top speeds of 36 knots and cruising speeds registering a competitive 32 knots. If you need a bit of extra power, then upgrade to twin Volvo Penta D11-725HP motors that should breach the 38-knot mark. A resin-infused composite hull crafted in collaboration with Mulder Design features an axe-style bow entry and a category-B classification making it ideal for efficient and swift coastal cruising.
