Vandutch 40

Onboard the Vandutch 40

The Vandutch 40 by Van Dutch is a 12-metre day boat built for speed, clean lines, and effortless coastal style. Her open-plan cockpit seats up to twelve guests across deep, teak-trimmed lounges that catch the sun from every angle. The single cabin below offers a private retreat for changing or resting between stops. Chartering her from Cannes gives you direct access to the Croisette shoreline and beyond, with a hull designed to handle the light chop of the Côte d'Azur at pace.

A typical morning begins at the Vieux Port, clearing the harbour wall before turning west toward the Îles de Lérins. The crossing to Île Sainte-Marguerite takes roughly fifteen minutes, and the shallow turquoise water off its northern shore is ideal for a swim stop. After a leisurely anchored lunch, the skipper can push east along the Cap d'Antibes coastline, where the rocky coves below the lighthouse offer calm, sheltered water in prevailing southwesterlies. You return to port as the late sun colours the Esterel massif red.

The Vandutch 40 suits friend groups, couples hosting a small gathering, or corporate teams looking for a sharp, stylish platform on the water. She works well for half-day hires along the Lérins Islands, full-day cruises toward Antibes or Villefranche, and sunset runs timed to the golden hour over the Esterel coast. Guest capacity of twelve makes her one of the more sociable day boats at this length. Contact our Cannes-based team to check availability and discuss your preferred itinerary.
