VanDutch 48 yacht charter in Antibes
The VanDutch 48 gives the low-profile day-yacht idea a wider cockpit and more overall scale. For Antibes, it is a useful choice to compare when the group wants to stay together outside.
A larger footprint without a taller profile
The manufacturer’s 2024 fleet publication lists the 48 at 14.61 metres overall and four metres of beam. Its hull retains the long, clean bow and low cockpit screen seen across the family. The added size appears mainly in the deck and accommodation footprint rather than an extra guest level.

A larger footprint without a taller profile
The model brochure shows different lower-deck arrangements, including a lounge and a sleeping option. That is a useful distinction for a charter brief: occasional indoor use and an actual overnight stay are different requirements. Above deck, the sunbathing and seating remain the main reasons to choose this style.
Give the open deck a proper place in the day
A private Antibes programme can combine a coastal passage with a long pause where the party enjoys the yacht. The 48 suits a group who value conversation, sun and a clean outdoor setting, particularly when the itinerary has enough slack for guests to settle rather than immediately prepare for another landing.
For a celebratory outing, keep decorations and belongings proportionate to the cockpit. The yacht’s restrained design already provides a strong setting. A photographer can work with the long bow and low screen without needing the day to revolve around several distant backgrounds.
Compare space rather than labels
The 40 is the smaller reference and the 56 extends the concept again. Compare the number of comfortable seats, the actual shade and the table arrangement rather than assuming the larger model automatically fits every kind of party. A sheltered flybridge cruiser remains a different alternative for guests who want indoor retreat.
Tell us the date, guests, departure area and whether a lunch or overnight stay forms part of the plan. We will seek a VanDutch 48 or comparable verified yacht, with the actual layout and services in the proposal. Published design options do not establish the equipment of a particular charter boat.
Checks for the course you have chosen
Does every VanDutch 48 have the same lower-deck layout?
No. The manufacturer brochure distinguishes layout choices. An overnight enquiry should include the required sleeping arrangement so the offered yacht can be assessed correctly.
