VanDutch Australia: Eyachts Announces Exclusive Partnership and Arrival Downunder
The arrival of VanDutch Australia marks a defining moment in the evolution of luxury day boating. Eyachts has officially announced its exclusive partnership with VanDutch Yachts, introducing one of the most iconic names in global boating to Australia and New Zealand under official representation.
With the launch of the VanDutch Centre Sydney, the brand now has a dedicated home on Sydney Harbour, offering clients the opportunity to experience these unmistakable boats firsthand.
This partnership is more than just a new brand entering the market. It reflects a broader shift in how Australians are choosing to spend time on the water.
What is VanDutch and Why Does It Matter in Australia?
VanDutch is globally recognised for its bold, minimalist design and instantly recognisable silhouette. Originally founded in the Netherlands, the brand built its reputation on clean lines, simplicity, and a strong on-water presence.
In 2020, VanDutch entered a new chapter under Cantiere del Pardo, combining Dutch design heritage with decades of Italian craftsmanship, engineering and experience.
The result is a refined, more capable range that has evolved without losing its identity.
Now, with VanDutch Yachts arriving in Australia, local buyers gain access to a globally recognised brand that has long been associated with luxury, style, and effortless boating.
Why Eyachts and VanDutch Make Sense
Eyachts has spent over 20 years refining the day boat segment in Australia and New Zealand. As early adopters, Eyachts identified a shift toward boats that prioritise ease of use, lifestyle, and versatility.
From harbour cruising to coastal runs and entertaining, their portfolio has been built around how people actually use boats.
This is exactly where VanDutch fits.
As Eyachts’ Founder, Peter Hrones explains:
“Our success with Cantiere del Pardo and sister brand Pardo Yachts has shown what is possible when you combine strong shipyard relationships with the right market strategy, and VanDutch is the next step in that evolution for us in Australia and New Zealand.”
The partnership is not opportunistic; it’s deliberate. VanDutch sits at the top end of Eyachts’ design-led offering, expanding into a more iconic, statement-driven segment of the market.
A Proven Relationship with Cantiere del Pardo
The introduction of VanDutch builds on Eyachts’ established relationship with Cantiere del Pardo, which began in 2019 with Pardo Yachts.
Since then, Eyachts has successfully launched and grown the brand across Australia and New Zealand, demonstrating a strong understanding of both the product and the market.
That same approach now applies to VanDutch.
“Eyachts is a valuable partner for us, and they have demonstrated a deep understanding of the Australian market with Pardo Yachts. To confirm our confidence, we are pleased to extend our representation to include VanDutch in the region,” said Cantiere del Pardo CEO, Marcello Veronesi.
What VanDutch Brings to Sydney and Beyond
The introduction of VanDutch Sydney is about more than location, it’s about access.
With a dedicated presence at VanDutch Centre Sydney, clients can now explore the range locally, supported by Eyachts’ national sales and aftersales network.
From the VanDutch 32 through to the flagship 75, the range offers something unique, a platform built for entertaining, socialising, and enjoying time on the water without complication.
As Joe Fox explains:
“VanDutch represents exactly where we see premium boating heading in Australia, toward experience-focused ownership. It is more than a boat, it is a statement of lifestyle and aesthetic.”
A Shift in Luxury Boating in Australia
The addition of VanDutch reflects a clear shift in the Australian market.
Buyers are moving away from complexity and excess, and toward boats that feel effortless, considered, and aligned with their lifestyle.
This is where VanDutch stands out.
From its minimalist design to its social layouts, it offers a different kind of boating experience, one focused on how the boat is used, not just how it performs.
Where to See VanDutch in Australia
Eyachts will exhibit at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show, representing the Cantiere del Pardo shipyard. Those interested in learning more about VanDutch yachts and what is on offer within the range are encouraged to make an appointment.
In addition, private inspections are now available through VanDutch Centre Sydney.
