Eyachts has been named as the exclusive VanDutch dealer for Australia and New Zealand, with Eyachts representing the brand nationally and providing sales support, after-sales service and technical assistance.
The appointment coincides with the arrival of a new VanDutch 56, scheduled to land in the state of Victoria later this year.
It will join a small but growing number of VanDutch models already operating in Australian waters.
VanDutch Yachts was founded in the Netherlands. In 2020, the brand was acquired by Italian boatbuilder Cantiere del Pardo, which already works with Cantiere del Pardo through its distribution of Pardo Yachts, a partnership that began in 2019.
Strong shipyard relationships
“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,” said Eyachts founder Peter Hrones.
Joe Fox, Eyachts’ VanDutch manager, added: “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.”
As part of the partnership, Eyachts will establish a new VanDutch Centre in Sydney as part of the brand’s local rollout.
Eyachts will also showcase the VanDutch range at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, held from 21 to 24 May 2026.
