Vandutch 55

Onboard the Vandutch 55

The Vandutch 55 reads as a day boat built with intent rather than compromise: 16 metres of low, wide-beam profile, a sundeck that runs nearly the full length of the boat, and an open cockpit designed for groups who want to move freely between sun, shade and the water rather than stay seated for a formal lunch. Two cabins below give guests somewhere to change or store bags, but the boat's real logic is above deck — space for up to 12 people to spread out without feeling like a tender packed for capacity.

From Port Olímpic, this size and layout suit a half-day or full-day run rather than an overnight passage — an anchor off Sitges for swimming and a lunch ashore at one of the seafront restaurants, or a shorter loop around Barcelona bay for guests who want the skyline view without a long crossing. The shallow-draft comfort and open deck plan also make it a natural fit for a calm family afternoon, where adults can watch children swim off the stern without the boat feeling crowded.

It suits groups who want a single, well-run day on the water rather than a multi-day charter: couples marking an occasion, small corporate parties timing a charter around events like Mobile World Congress, or families choosing a Sitges day over a longer Balearics itinerary. Barcelona Yacht Rental can confirm route options and timing for the Vandutch 55 with the same day-charter enquiry process used across the fleet, adjusted to conditions and guest numbers on the day.
