About VanDutch

VanDutch was founded in 2008. VanDutch introduced its first model—the VanDutch 40—in 2009. The brand was successfully introduced in the South of France through partnerships with companies like Red Bull Racing during the Monaco Grand Prix.[2]

It started USA operations in 2013, with offices in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and opening new office space on the Miami River in Miami, FL in January 2019.[1]

In 2013 it signed an agreement with Marquis Yachts to grant exclusive manufacturing rights that was previously given to S2 Yachts.[3] Marquis filed a litigation case against VanDutch for contract term dispute in 2015 that was successfully settled very soon without disclosing the terms.[4]

VanDutch sponsored FIA Formula E Championship racing team Amlin Aguri in 2014 along with Amlin and Sparco.[5]

It participates regularly in lifestyle marketing activities during boat shows, including Miami International Boat Show and Monaco Yacht Show.[6][7][8][9]

In January 2017, VanDutch, Inc, the company's Americas distributor, operated the purchase of the global brand including the IP, molds, trademarks and copyrights, from VanDutch Marine LTD., the company's original holding and ownership entity.[citation needed]

The company sold more than 160 hulls through November 2018.
