VanDutch 40 yacht charter in Antibes
A long bow and a single open social space make the VanDutch 40 a recognisable Antibes day-yacht choice. The cockpit and aft sunpad keep the outing focused on the company and the sea.
The shape serves a simple outdoor idea
The current manufacturer page gives an overall length of 12.48 metres and beam of 3.42 metres. Behind the swept screen, cockpit seating and the aft sunpad form the principal guest area. The foredeck stays visually clean, with very little structure interrupting the hull’s horizontal line.

The shape serves a simple outdoor idea
VanDutch has revised details of the 40 over time, including interior and equipment arrangements. A current brochure therefore provides model context rather than a complete specification for every older charter boat. The enduring attraction is the same low, open form and a cockpit that keeps the party in one place.
An Antibes day with an easy social rhythm
For friends staying along the cap, a private passage and time afloat can become the main occasion rather than a transfer between bookings. The aft cushions suit a relaxed pause, while the cockpit gives conversation a shared centre. A restrained lunch or refreshments can fit that rhythm without turning the deck into a crowded dining room.
A proposed course towards the Lérins area needs enough hours to enjoy the stop as well as the journey. For a shorter booking, nearby scenery may make better use of the day. The captain’s actual course and the agreed Antibes or Juan-les-Pins departure determine the balance.
Decide what the larger models add
The 48 increases the footprint while preserving the low VanDutch family resemblance. If the reason for moving up is more separation, substantial shade or an enclosed lounge, also compare a different type of yacht. A longer open deck is not automatically the same as more indoor comfort.
Give your guests, date and preferred boarding area with the VanDutch 40 request. We will seek a verified example or a comparable yacht and describe the actual year, configuration and inclusions in the offer. One model name can cover boats with noticeably different equipment.
Checks for the course you have chosen
Can the current VanDutch 40 brochure describe every charter example?
No. The 40 has evolved. Current photographs and the exact boat’s specification are needed alongside the general model reference.
