The new flagship of the brand belonging to Cantiere del Pardo continues the clear design line of the popular VanDutch 40, but enlarges it significantly. The 23 metre long weekender has a clean, minimalist look with no visible railing. The outer surfaces merge seamlessly into one another, giving the boat its characteristic, clean look.
Open rear concept
The hydraulic bathing platform can be lowered to water level. A folding mechanism with rollers makes it easier to put the tender in and out of the water. The garage offers space for a Williams tender up to 3.85 metres long - unusually spacious for a boat of this size. Inside the garage there are special holders for the carbon poles of the sunshade and the parts of the quick-install outdoor shower, which keeps the garage tidy.
VanDutch 75 with notchback
The cockpit rises in short steps from the bathing platform. This theatre-like arrangement ensures that guests further forward sit higher and have a clear view - whether steering or relaxing. Even from the helm station, the gently sloping aft deck provides a clear view of the entire seating area and all guests on the bathing platform. A U-shaped seating area is located in front of a spacious sunbed for six to eight people. The side panelling has a car-like design with integrated stainless steel drinks holders. There are two dining tables further forward. Both are height-adjustable, extendable and can be moved towards the seating area so that plates are within easy reach. With additional chairs on the outside, they offer space for up to twelve people. There are two drawer coolers under the benches. A fold-out television is mounted on the starboard side, opposite which is a large storage compartment on the port side. The outboard galley to starboard is fitted with Phoenix surface material and also includes a two-plate induction hob, a grill, a deep sink, an ice maker and a drinks refrigerator. This fully-fledged outdoor galley is suitable for preparing breakfast, barbecues and more - and is usually used more frequently by weekenders than the galley in the interior.
Control stand with all-round visibility
Three captain's seats are positioned next to each other, with the outer seat having no armrest on the outside so that you can slide out to the side. All-round visibility is almost perfect, as everything is flush and unobstructed in all directions - similar to driving a convertible. Two Garmin MFDs are located centrally in front of the helm and offer split-screen options for chart and radar. The VanDutch yacht management system controls lighting, levels and bilge alarms, while physical switches for bilge pumps, navigation lights, fog horn, windscreen wipers and thrusters have been retained. A pantograph door has been integrated into the windscreen to provide easy access to the rail-less foredeck.
Functional foredeck
The absence of a railing ensures a cool look, makes the XL-VanDutch However, it is not the most child-friendly model for spontaneous trips to the anchorage. Folding cleats on both sides, additional fittings for further fenders and three large hatches that let daylight into the lower deck characterise this area. The anchoring system is unusual for this size and type of boat: the anchor is deployed from a pocket in the hull near the keel instead of sitting on the bow. The anchor winch is remote-controlled and is filmed by a camera so that it can be operated slowly and the anchor gently retracted into the pocket. In the front storage space there is a coiled fresh water hose with a connection nearby, the anchor winch on a small platform and the chain box at the very front. The front storage space is large enough to accommodate fully inflated large fenders and offers space for additional equipment.
Two interior variants are available
As with the exterior, the BurdissoCapponi Yachts&Design studio also had a hand in the interior design. It is characterised by fine materials, strong contrasts and sophisticated textures. Construction number 1 of the flagship was fitted with the "Cool" interior. A bright, contemporary version with mother-of-pearl veneer, matt black wood accents and beige-coloured suede upholstery. A warmer "Smooth" version with mahogany elements is also available as an option. The standard version offers three cabins. The owner's cabin is located aft on the starboard side and a double cabin on the port side. Both have their own bathrooms. In the bow is a bright and spacious VIP cabin with a double bathroom, which also serves as a day toilet. In the centre is a living area with an American-style open galley, lounge and dining table. A separate crew cabin in the stern rounds off the layout.
IPS trio for up to 40 knots top speed
The VanDutch 75 designed by Mulder Design is powered by three Volvo Penta engines, which work on three IPS1050 units in the standard version. As an option, three more powerful D13 IPS1350s are fitted under the stern. This should enable speeds of up to 40 knots to be achieved.
