Thirty six knots, and she barely raises her voice getting there.
Twin Volvo Penta D11 engines, 625 horsepower each as standard, carry the Van Dutch 48 to a cruising speed of 30 knots with 36 available at the top. Owners who want more can specify the 725 horsepower option for sharper acceleration out of the hole. A composite planing hull keeps the ride flat and predictable at speed, while a 1,500 litre fuel capacity supports a range of around 300 nautical miles at cruise. It is performance pitched for real use, fast enough to shorten a crossing, composed enough to hold a line in a following sea.
Her deck reads as one continuous surface, and that is entirely the point.
Mulder Design shaped the Van Dutch 48 with the same unbroken sheer and low profile that defines every hull in the range, scaled up rather than reinvented. A 4 metre beam gives the deck genuine width without ever looking heavy, and the bow carries enough flare to keep spray down at speed. There is little applied ornament here, every line does a job, whether that is shedding water, carrying a sightline aft, or simply keeping the eye moving along the hull. At 14.61 metres, she is long enough to feel substantial at anchor and agile enough to feel light underway.
Fourteen guests can move through this deck without ever feeling in each other’s way.
The cockpit and bow together form one open social space, built around the idea that a day on the water should not mean choosing between sun and shade, or company and quiet. Bench seating wraps the aft cockpit for lounging or dining, while the foredeck offers a separate space to stretch out away from the noise of the engines. It is a layout built for movement rather than a fixed arrangement of furniture, letting a group of fourteen redistribute itself naturally as the day runs its course. Come evening, the same deck resets easily for a smaller, quieter gathering.
One cabin, finished properly, beats three done half heartedly.
Below deck, the Van Dutch 48 keeps its accommodation simple by design, a single well appointed cabin for two, with a dedicated head, rather than a compromise of smaller spaces. Mulder Design’s interior work favours clean joinery and a calm material palette over ornament, in keeping with the boat’s exterior restraint. It suits her role well. This is a yacht built primarily for daylight hours and full days on deck, with the cabin there to extend an evening rather than to host a week aboard. For an owner who entertains by day and rarely stays late, it is exactly enough.
Three hundred nautical miles is enough to make the whole coast an option.
A 1,500 litre fuel tank gives the Van Dutch 48 a range of around 300 nautical miles at her 30 knot cruising speed, comfortably enough to link two or three harbours in a single day without refuelling. The twin Volvo Penta D11 engines are efficient at cruise, so the range holds up in practice rather than only on paper. Combined with a 0.93 metre draught, she can reach anchorages and shallow bays that keep larger yachts further out to sea. It is the kind of autonomy that turns a single afternoon out into a genuine exploration of a coastline.
