You specify this one
This is not a boat sitting on a dock waiting for a buyer. It is a place in the build schedule, which means the boat gets specified around you instead of around whoever ordered it first.
Hull color, interior materials, layout and the equipment list are decisions you make. On a boat that is already built, they are decisions you live with, and you pay for someone else’s taste every time you look at it.
Talk to me before you sign a spec sheet. I run these boats and I maintain them, so I can tell you which options earn their money and which ones look good in a brochure and annoy you by the second season.
Broker’s note
Most people compare a VanDutch to other day boats with a sunpad or seating up on the bow, see a flush foredeck, and decide against it. That is the wrong read.
Nothing on the bow is the reason you get so much more interior space than the boats people cross-shop it with.
The new boats have also stopped pretending. Instead of beds down below you get seating areas in the cabin. Nobody sleeps in these boats, and the layout finally says so.
This one is a build slot, so there is still room to spec it the way you want it.
Specifications are supplied by the listing brokerage and believed correct, but are not guaranteed. Confirm anything that matters to you before you commit.
What the build price covers
The price I quote on this build is landed Fort Lauderdale, not ex works Italy. It includes the US configuration and export paperwork, US import duties, transport from the yard to the loading port with insurance, shipping to Fort Lauderdale, marine insurance in transit, propspeed antifouling on the running gear, and commissioning and preparation before loading.
That matters more than it sounds. Plenty of European build quotes stop at the factory gate, and the freight, duty and commissioning turn up later as separate invoices. Ask any builder you are talking to where their number stops. If the answer is the yard door, you are not comparing the same thing.
What you can change
Standard equipment covers Volvo trim tabs with Trim Assist, a bow thruster, autopilot, six fenders with covers and mooring lines. On top of that the build sheet opens up:
- Paint. Non-metallic, metallic, or a fully custom color outside the sample book, hull and bootstripe.
- Deck. Synthetic teak in a different caulking, sunshade bimini extension, half-automated bimini, hydraulic swim platform, refrigerated deck table in the cockpit.
- Upholstery. Alternative fabric inside and out, or contrast piping on the standard.
- Interior. The optional Sleep layout.
- Engines. Step up to 725 HP, add Volvo joystick control, extend the engine warranty from two years to five.
- Electrics and electronics. Four multi-color LED underwater lights, mounted TV aft portside.
Anything not on that list goes in as a special request and gets priced by the yard. Call me and I will tell you which ones are worth the money on a 48 and which ones you will regret at resale.
