DutchCraft, a sister company to Zeelander, hosted the world premiere of the DutchCraft 56 at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
The DutchCraft 56 is available in open and cabin versions, and can seat as many as 40 people for parties at the dock. Overnight accommodations are for eight people, and while cruising, the yacht can take 12 guests.
“The DC56 is the Swiss Army knife of boats,” Floris Koopmans, marketing coordinator at DutchCraft, stated in a press release. “Want to take your guests on a diving or fishing expedition? It has you covered with ample space for kit storage right by the water, and four comfortable cabins for accommodation. Have a special event you want to celebrate with 40 friends? Bring on the DJ and dance floor, with three levels of social space and an enormous aft deck. Feel the need for speed with some fun inflatables or Jet Skis? There is so much room to store them all.”
Engine options include Volvo Penta IPS units as well as Doen jets or John Deere power plants. With Volvo Penta IPS950s, maximum speed is reportedly 40 knots with a range of 700 nautical miles at 7 knots.
How is the DutchCraft 56 built? With glass fiber, vinylester resin, sandwich construction and a PVC core.
