YACHTS & YACHTING

VAAN R4 SUSTAINABLE LUXURY SAILING YACHT

Vaan Yachts is a new Dutch premium sustainable brand in the yacht building industry . It is based on the idea that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand by making clever use of technology and materials . Innovative choices in the design of their first model , the 42ft R4 , result in a premium yacht that combines luxury with a spectacular sailing experience .
Made for sailors
The R4 is designed for sailors who are looking for more space than a monohull offers . The large , open transom and the helm position at the back connects you to the water that rushes underneath . It gives a spectacular sailing sensation , much like a monohull but without the heeling , and faster .
The cockpit and saloon are at the same level . Friends and family can enjoy all the comfort and luxury , while the helmsperson is at the helm enjoying their company .
The sailing hotel suite
In the evening , when lights are dimming , the saloon provides the ultimate view of the starry night sky . The wrap-around windows give a great sense of freedom and transparency , with all the cosiness you want from a home away from home . Natural materials are used for the interior . This creates a warm and exclusive look and atmosphere as if you are staying in a luxury hotel suite .
