2024 VanDutch 56

The VanDutch 56 is a 56-foot fiberglass cruiser designed by Mulder Design and built by Italian shipyard Cantiere del Pardo. The boat bridges the gap between the smaller and larger models in the VanDutch range, combining performance with refined design and comfort. Twin Volvo diesel engines power the yacht, which features joystick control and a bow thruster for ease of handling. Dual Garmin displays provide navigation capability.

The boat emphasizes open-air living with generous deck space and lounging areas. The interior offers flexibility through two layout options. The lounge configuration features a convertible sofa with table that can serve as a bed, paired with a linear galley and L-shaped seating in the stern. The cabin layout positions a master stateroom with double bed forward, while maintaining the same galley and seating arrangement, with the option to add a second cabin with another double bed aft.

The VanDutch 56 prioritizes seamless movement through well-proportioned outdoor spaces and combines autonomous cruising capability with accommodations for extended time aboard with family and guests. The design emphasizes Italian craftsmanship throughout its construction and finish.
