Introduction[edit]

VanDutch Yachts is a renowned luxury yachting brand that forms part of the prestigious Cantiere del Pardo family. The brand dates back to 2008 when it was used to distinguish yachts designed by Mulder Design B.V. The VanDutch Yachts trademarks were then acquired by the Italian shipyard Cantiere del Pardo in 2020 [2] [3]. VanDutch Yachts is celebrated globally for its distinctive design, high functionality, and the sophisticated lifestyle it promotes. The brand's headquarters and production site are located in Forlì, Italy, with VanDutch Centers and representative offices in Europe and America [4].
