VanDutch 75 Review (2025 Edition) by NautiStyles

On Deck

The VanDutch 75 comes on like a dayboat superyacht with a big-league party brief and a clean, minimalist look that stays faithful to the original VanDutch 40’s silhouette-just supersized. Everything outside is slick, flush, and deliberately free of rails and visible lines.

A hydraulic swim platform lowers to water level to swim or launch the tender. A folding contraption with rollers flips over when the platform drops so you can roll the tender straight out or back in. The tender garage is very big for the boat’s length and takes a Williams jet tender up to 3.85m (12.6ft). Inside the garage are dedicated clips for the carbon shade poles and for the deck shower parts so the bay stays tidy.

Cockpit

The cockpit rises in short tiers from the swim platform step up,so guests sit higher as you move forward. It works like theatre seating and keeps sightlines clear whether helming or hanging out. Even when you’re driving you can see your whole party aft because the deck very slightly drops toward the stern. Ahead of a massive 6-8 person sunpad is a U-shaped lounge. The coamings carry an automotive-inspired “grille” treatment with integrated stainless cupholders and engraved details.

Forward again and there are twin dining tables. Both are hi-lo, both expand, and both can slide toward the seating so plates aren’t a reach. Add loose chairs on the outboard side and you’ve got legit dinner for 12 across the pair. Under the seat bases you’ll find twin drawer fridges.

The starboard side holds a drop-down TV with a matching storage panel port. Forward to starboard is the outdoor galley finished in Phoenix surface material which is the same repairable stuff first spotted years back on a Sunreef 60 Eco, where light scratches can be heat-ironed out. The spec includes a two-burner induction cooktop, Canyon grill, deep sink, trash locker, ice maker, and a drink fridge. It’s a true cook-outside galley - breakfast, burgers, the lot, and for a boat like this you’ll use it far more than the interior galley. Enclosure isn’t in the brand’s DNA so you’d keep it open unless the weather really turns.

Helm under the hardtop

Three stylish helm chairs sit side by side with no outboard armrest on the outer seat so you can slide sideways and let people pass. Visibility is about as good as it gets as its all flush and unobstructed in every direction, like driving a convertible. Two flush-mounted Garmin displays sit front and center, with split-screen options for chart and radar. The VanDutch yacht management system handles lighting, levels and bilge alarms, but physical toggles remain for bilge pumps, nav lights, horn, wipers, and wash.

A panograph-style side door leads forward-the same mechanism you’d see on a transom engine-room door or a pilothouse side entry.

Foredeck

The foredeck keeps the slick theme going. Heavy-duty pop-up cleats each side, extra fittings for additional fenders, and three large custom hatches that feed natural light to the lower deck. The anchor system is unusual for this size/type as the anchor deploys from a pocket in the hull down near the keel rather than sitting on the forepeak. That’s why the windlass is frequency-controlled and paired with a camera so you can slow it right down and “feather” the final stow into the pocket rather than the usual click-click jerks of a standard setup. Inside the forward locker there’s a coiled freshwater hose with a nearby hookup, the windlass on a small landing, and the chain locker all the way forward. The forward stowage is big enough to drop fully inflated big fenders and still have space for more gear.

There are no real portholes in the structure, so round artificial light panels create the illusion of natural light, changing tone and intensity by mood or time of day. They dim down to a warm glow or brighten to near daylight, even with a soft red top ring. The main salon’s large hatch, visible earlier from the deck, is the only source of natural light on the lower deck.  

A U-shaped seating area to port frames a hi-lo convertible table for casual indoor meals or coffee. The track lighting above sets it off, while light wood tones, rounded panel edges and high-gloss surfaces all work hard to bounce light through the space. The design’s simple, almost sculpted lines make the interior look even wider than it is. Opposite, a bar setup with six loose stools works as a natural gathering point. The stools can be shifted wherever they’re needed, and the counter is finished in matching materials to the rest of the room, keeping the monochrome palette intact.

Overhead storage runs along both sides, subtly curved so that what looks like solid panelling actually conceals practical cupboards for plates, glassware, and other small gear. The galley sits forward and feels compact but fully equipped. Appliances are all Miele: a four-burner induction cooktop, hood, microwave oven, dishwasher, and separate fridge and freezer. Drawers and lockers close with a soft, precise motion, and the sink is inset with a sleek metal finish that matches the rest of the fixtures. Even the electrical panel is hidden behind a labelled door and neatly organized. It’s a proper working galley, but given the outdoor setup above, most meals would be cooked on deck.

Owner's Cabin

The owner’s suite sits aft to starboard with a queen-size bed, though the beam and layout make it look even larger, and low-set nightstands that run straight off the bed base like an extended platform.

A long hanging locker runs along one side, finished to the same standard as the cabinetry in the salon. There’s a built-in drink fridge tucked neatly into the bulkhead, and a TV set opposite the bed. 

In the en suite, there’s a big, deep sink, loads of storage, and a roomy two-person shower with black fixtures and a rain head. 

Guest Accommodation

Forward, the VIP cabin keeps the same calm, modern look. The low bed stretches almost wall to wall with big headroom so it feels surprisingly open. The dark accent panels are wood-textured to look like ostrich skin, and they pull it off nicely without feeling fussy. There’s a full hanging locker to starboard, a TV opposite, and an overhead hatch with mosquito screen and shade. The lighting follows the same setup as the salon with the artificial porthole lights that change color and brightness depending on your mood.

In the en suite, there’s a clean vanity with storage underneath and a curved glass door that gives extra elbow room in the shower. The glass doesn’t have a sharp corner, so you can move comfortably even in a compact space. When the shower isn’t in use, the door clips open against the wall to free up floor area.

The port-side guest cabin has twin berths and another openable hatch that also works as an escape route. It keeps that same slick, bright feel, helped by the artificial porthole lights. In the en suite, there’s a stone-textured sink that feels almost like concrete, black fixtures throughout, and a rain shower that easily fits two. A hanging locker gives decent storage for weekend bags or spare gear.

Crew Accommodation

The crew quarters are under the aft deck, and the setup is actually pretty clever. The seat base flips, then the hatch comes open and every latch, handle, and gasket feels solid, and the ventilation is built in so the space can breathe.

Down inside, there’s a washer-dryer combo straight ahead, then a narrow corridor that leads to a small wet head on the port side. The bunks are stacked one over the other, and everything’s spotless since this boat is brand new. You could easily run with a crew of two for a trip, but realistically it’s perfect for a captain-stew or captain-chef team if you’re cruising longer stretches.

Most owners in the US would probably use it as bonus storage, though. There’s plenty of room for extra gear, fenders, or water toys if you’re running the boat yourself. 

First thing you notice are the three engines. Triple Volvo IPS units sitting perfectly lined up, and that’s a lot of power for a 75-footer that isn’t a big flybridge yacht. The boat we’re on is running Volvo IPS 1350s, though 1050s are the standard option. Either way, it’s a wild setup for a boat that already looks fast just sitting still.

You’ve got primary fuel filters easy to reach on both sides, two Quick gyro stabilisers on both sides and the generator sitting centerline forward of the engines. You can see the front of the tender garage right there too. Battery banks are neatly boxed in, fire suppression system mounted clearly on the bulkhead, and cable reel to port.

You can climb right down and still walk around each engine without twisting yourself into a pretzel. Sea strainers are easy to get to, filters right in view, ventilation ducts neatly run. Even behind the IPS drives, there’s enough space to reach the stern if you ever need to.

The performance numbers are cruising speed around 33 knots and a top end close to 38. Fuel capacity is 4,000 litres, or 1,057 US gallons.

For all its flash, the VanDutch 75 is surprisingly easy to live with. It’s one of those yachts where you can hop aboard, fire it up, and head straight out. Joystick control makes docking almost effortless, and with nothing blocking your view from the helm, you could back it into a slip without breaking a sweat. You can genuinely run this boat yourself. Still, at 75 feet, it’s not small so first-time owners might want a day captain or crew couple on standby at first, just to ease into handling something this long and this powerful.

VanDutch offers warranty and after-sales coverage through its global service network, handled mainly by official VanDutch Centers. The warranty terms vary by model and delivery region, but new builds typically include hull and structural protection along with standard manufacturer coverage on major systems and engines - usually Volvo Penta IPS packages. Routine servicing and repairs are supported through VanDutch’s Customer Care program, which also covers seasonal prep, detailing, and inspection. Buyers should confirm specifics at handover, including duration, transferability, and any conditions tied to approved service yards, since policies can differ by dealer. In practice, owners rely on the same infrastructure that supports parent brand Cantiere del Pardo, so warranty work and parts supply are generally well backed by an established European network.

What really sells it is the lifestyle. You can keep it on a private dock, use it for weekend runs to the Bahamas, or anchor off your favourite beach with music going and the grill running. It’s designed for barefoot days and late nights in a big, polished party platform.

If you’re shopping in this bracket, the Zeelander 8 and the Pardo GT75 are natural rivals. The Zeelander leans toward high-gloss retro elegance and the Pardo brings an open, Mediterranean style.  

The VanDutch 75 takes the brand’s signature look and blows it up to superyacht scale being long, lean, and built for the spotlight. It’s a true statement boat, but one that still feels practical to own. The triple IPS setup gives it serious pace and easy handling, while the open, tiered decks and outdoor galley make it the ultimate social platform. Inside, it keeps that clean, minimal VanDutch style but adds just enough warmth to make weekends aboard comfortable.
