About this tender
The VanDutch 75 is the brand's 22.3m flagship and the model we put alongside the Pardo GT75 and the Wally 75 when an owner is shopping the open day-yacht segment at this length. It is built under Pardo / Cantiere del Pardo ownership, which is why the engineering reads more conservatively than the early VanDutch hulls: triple Volvo IPS pods, three guest cabins, a working aft beach club and a saloon that can be opened up via the brand's signature retractable side glass.
The brief here is not chase-boat. It is a fast open day-yacht that an owner-driver can run themselves with one or two crew, with overnighting capability for a family of six. Triple IPS950 or IPS1050 pods give a 38 to 40-knot top end and a relaxed thirty-three-knot cruise; the IPS package allows joystick docking even at 50 tonnes displacement, which is why we recommend it to owners who plan to handle the boat themselves.
Where the VanDutch 75 differs from the Wally and Pardo competition is interior emphasis. The forward deck and aft cockpit dominate; the saloon is generous but not the centre of the boat. Three cabins below, a galley up, and an owner-friendly wheelhouse with full electronics. We rate the build quality as a clear step above the original VanDutch generation; Pardo's involvement shows in the trim and the systems integration.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
Standard package is triple Volvo D13-IPS1050 at 800hp each, optional triple IPS1350 at 1,000hp each. Top speed in the high thirties to forty knots; thirty-three-knot cruise at a workable burn. The triple-pod arrangement gives joystick docking at flagship displacement and the cleanest engine-room layout in the segment.
Three guest cabins below decks, including an owner suite forward with full ensuite. The aft platform converts to a teak-soled beach club with sea steps; cockpit settee folds into a sunpad. The configuration is set up for owner-led day cruising with overnighting capability for a family of six, not for a heavy charter programme.
Built under Cantiere del Pardo ownership. Hardware specification is a clear step above the early VanDutch hulls; gelcoat finish, hatch quality, and saloon trim hold up to the price point. The hull is vacuum-infused GRP and the lamination scantlings are conservative enough that we have no reservations about taking her offshore in moderate weather.
The combination of IPS joystick docking, a clear sightline from the helm and a well-laid-out helm-station electronics package make the VanDutch 75 unusually easy to handle for a 22-metre flagship. We see owners running her single-handed from the helm with one crewmember on deck; a forty-knot fast-displacement parent at this length normally needs two crew to dock cleanly.
