Eyachts is proud to announce its appointment as the exclusive dealer for VanDutch Yachts in Australia and New Zealand, marking the arrival of one of the most recognisable names in modern boating to local waters.

The partnership will be brought to life through the launch of VanDutch Centre Sydney, a dedicated space for clients to experience the brand.

The announcement comes as Eyachts prepares to introduce a new VanDutch 56 to the region, set to arrive in Victoria later this year, growing an already successful fleet of VanDutch Yachts cruising in Australia. Eyachts represents the brand nationally, providing tailored sales support, after-sales care and technical expertise throughout the ownership journey.

VanDutch Yachts is defined by its unmistakable silhouette and minimalist design language, combining performance with a refined, lifestyle-driven approach to boating. Originally founded in the Netherlands, the brand has built a global reputation for its clean lines and confident on-water presence.

In 2020, VanDutch Yachts entered a new chapter under Cantiere del Pardo, bringing together its iconic design with decades of Italian craftsmanship and engineering expertise. The result is a brand that has evolved without losing its identity; more refined, more capable and unmistakably VanDutch.

Eyachts has worked closely with Cantiere del Pardo since 2019, successfully introducing Pardo Yachts to Australia and New Zealand and establishing a strong, long-term partnership.

Eyachts founder Peter Hrones explains: "Our success with Cantiere del Pardo and 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."

"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 their representation to include VanDutch in the region," added Marcello Veronesi, CEO of Cantiere del Pardo.

Eyachts is Australia and New Zealand's leading importer of luxury day boats. From the beginning, the focus has been on a select group of European brands defined by design, quality, and long-term shipyard relationships. VanDutch fits this approach naturally, bringing a clear identity and global presence that speaks for itself.

The addition of VanDutch reflects a broader shift in the Australian and New Zealand market toward experience-led boating, where design, ease of use, and onboard lifestyle are as important as performance.

As Joe Fox, Eyachts VanDutch Manager, puts it: "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."

Eyachts will attend the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, taking place from 21-24 May 2026, providing an opportunity to discover the brand and its range.
