A new entry-level model
The VanDutch brand, acquired in 2020 by Cantiere Del Pardo, is getting a new entry-level model. The VanDutch32 succeeds the VD30, gaining in length and width for more living space: 9.81 m long compared to 9.56 m for the previous model and 2.90 m wide compared to 2.80 m before. Its draught remains similar, 0.90 m, to allow it to get as close to the coast as possible.
A distinctive design
The VD32 retains the minimalist, clean lines characteristic of the range, including a large synthetic teak deck, separated from the cockpit by an imposing reverse windshield. It has a new hull, keeping the marked chine that goes up to the bow, and is equipped with a spray rail to deflect the spray. The freeboard height has also been increased to ensure more safety on the gangways that must be used to access the bow.
A cockpit dedicated to relaxation
With larger dimensions than the VD30, the VD32 offers more deck space, although the layout remains relatively similar. A total of 8 people can be accommodated on board. The large bathing platform is overlooked by three large sunbeds with removable backrests to further expand the relaxation area.
The L-shaped bench seat on the starboard side can also be fitted with a dining table. The piloting area has evolved compared to the previous model. There are now two single seats - pilot and co-pilot - as well as an all-new instrument panel and new electronic instruments. As standard, the VD32 receives a 12-inch Garmin multifunction screen and an optional 16-inch version that includes a home automation system to control the lights, stereo or air conditioning. The mechanical key has also been replaced by a digital key operated from the navigation screen.
There is a refrigerator in the pilot's seat and a retractable sink under the starboard bench seat. Inside, the VD32 offers a lounge with two facing benches and a separate toilet.
Options and customizations
Like all VanDutch models, the VD32 is customizable in terms of colors and fabrics. It comes standard with a 430 hp Volvo v8 engine, and can be optionally equipped with 2x280 hp (Volvo V6), 1x380 hp (Volvo D6) and 2x300 hp (Volvo D4).
Price: 299,000 euros excluding VAT
