VanDutch VanDutch 48
About this yacht
The VanDutch 48 represents a compelling fusion of contemporary design and spirited performance, offering discerning owners a sophisticated platform for coastal exploration and entertaining. Built by VanDutch since 2017, this 14.61-meter open cruiser delivers an exceptional balance of space, agility, and unmistakable style. **Pure Design, Purposeful Form** The VanDutch 48's signature silhouette—characterized by clean lines, an elongated bow, and expansive open deck—embodies the brand's minimalist philosophy. This is a motor yacht that commands attention without excess, where every curve and surface serves both aesthetic and functional purpose. The result is a day cruiser that feels equally at home carving through coastal waters or anchored in a secluded bay. With a fiberglass hull and CE (B) certification, the VD48 is engineered for offshore passages up to 200 nautical miles from shore, while maintaining the responsive handling that defines the VanDutch experience. **Open-Air Living, Elevated** The expansive cockpit serves as the yacht's social heart, designed for seamless outdoor living. An integrated bar with high-capacity refrigeration, ice maker, and concealed sink ensures effortless entertaining, while the aft sunpad with adjustable backrests invites extended relaxation under open skies. The extended swim platform provides direct water access and versatile storage for tenders or water toys. A retractable bimini top offers welcome shade during peak sun hours, allowing guests to remain comfortable throughout the day without retreating below deck. **Refined Interiors for Coastal Cruising** Below deck, the VanDutch 48 accommodates up to 12 guests in thoughtfully designed spaces that prioritize comfort and natural light. Two cabins provide overnight accommodations, while the bright, modern salon features a convertible lounge area ideal for casual dining or relaxation between anchorages. Premium finishes throughout—including a private bathroom with separate shower—create an atmosphere that feels more coastal residence than traditional powerboat. The light color palette and soft ambient lighting enhance the sense of space, making the interior a genuine retreat after a day on the water. **Performance Without Compromise** Twin Volvo Penta D11 engines deliver up to 1,450 horsepower, propelling the VanDutch 48 to a top speed of 38 knots while maintaining the efficiency and stability of shaft drive propulsion. The shallow 1.15-meter draft opens access to sheltered anchorages often beyond reach of larger cruisers. At the helm, dual 16-inch Garmin displays provide comprehensive system management through an intuitive digital interface. Optional joystick control transforms docking and close-quarters maneuvering into a stress-free experience, particularly valuable in crowded marinas. **The VanDutch Experience** The VanDutch 48 appeals to owners seeking a distinctive alternative to conventional motor yachts—those who value design clarity, open-air versatility, and spirited performance. Whether hosting guests for day cruises, exploring coastal destinations with family, or simply enjoying the freedom of the open water, this yacht delivers a refined yet exhilarating experience. For those drawn to the VanDutch ethos, ownership means access to an exclusive community and dedicated service network. LYRA invites you to experience the VanDutch 48 firsthand and discover what makes this open cruiser a standout choice in its class.
