VanDutch 40

Onboard the VanDutch 40

The VanDutch 40 reads fast even standing still: a low, sculpted hull, a flush foredeck and an interior stripped back to clean lines rather than clutter. At just under 12 metres, it carries up to 10 guests on deck for the day, with a single cabin below for changing, storage or a quiet break rather than overnight living. Cruising at around 38 knots, it covers the coastline quickly, so a short window on the water still buys real distance.

From Marbella, that speed opens up options a slower day boat can't fit into the same afternoon: a run west toward the calmer water off Estepona for a swim stop, then back before the light turns. The single-cabin layout suits couples, a tight circle of friends or a compact family outing rather than large parties chasing multiple cabins or a multi-day base. As a day boat rather than a crewed superyacht, booking conversations tend to focus on timing, route and guest numbers rather than longer logistics.
