Cannes and Genoa keep the flagship visible

VanDutch listed both the 75 and 48 for the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival, followed by another display at the Genoa International Boat Show in October. The schedule keeps the flagship in front of European buyers after its world premiere the previous year.

Repeated in-water appearances are useful for a yacht built around open-deck living because proportions and circulation are easier to judge aboard than in drawings. Prospective owners can also compare the 75 directly with the smaller 48 within the same brand environment.

The 22.18m yacht remains below the LYG ceiling

At 22.18 metres, the VanDutch 75 stays inside Luxury Yacht Guide's strict sub-24-metre scope while providing the volume and presence expected from a substantial luxury cruiser. The model was developed as the flagship of a range that begins with much smaller day boats.

Its exterior retains the low-profile geometry that made VanDutch recognisable, but the 75 introduces more sophisticated interior and exterior living areas. BurdissoCapponi Yachts&Design is responsible for the interior, bringing a more residential atmosphere to the brand's minimalist architecture.

Volvo IPS supports performance and easier handling

The current VanDutch philosophy uses Volvo IPS propulsion to combine performance with joystick manoeuvring and lower-speed ease of use. The brand emphasises the ability to move from open-water running to marina handling without requiring a large professional bridge team.

That matters because the VanDutch 75 is positioned for owners who still want direct involvement with the yacht. The scale is substantial, but the control systems and open layout are intended to preserve the immediacy associated with smaller sport cruisers.

The 2026 programme consolidates rather than relaunches the model

The yacht is no longer a world-premiere story in 2026; the important development is its continued presence at major shows as a production flagship. This gives the market more time to assess how the design fits into Cantiere del Pardo's wider portfolio.

For LYG readers, the model represents one of the largest open-style yachts available below 24 metres. Its Cannes-to-Genoa programme shows VanDutch continuing to support the 75 as a core product rather than treating the launch as a one-season event.
