Day Yacht · 40 ft · Up to 10 guests
A 40 ft open day boat with a three-cushion stern bench, grey cockpit seating and a cabin below deck, for up to 10 guests.
Built for up to 10 guests, the VanDutch 40 Shadow is a 40 ft open day boat for a small group that wants the skyline and the water without a big-yacht schedule. A black soft top covers the helm, and a cabin below deck with cream sofas gives a birthday lunch, an anniversary or a swim day a place to retreat.
Start at the stern, where a bench of three cushions with bolster pillows spans the boat above a teak swim platform. Ahead of it, grey seating wraps a small table in the cockpit, and the helm sits under the soft top. A few wooden steps lead below to a cabin with cream sofa seating, a counter with a microwave and a coffee machine, skylight hatches and a porthole. Next to it is a head with a sink and a window.
Four hours ($2,000) cover a loop through the Venetian Islands and past Star Island as the light turns gold. Six hours ($2,600) add a swim stop at Nixon Sandbar, and eight hours ($3,350) leave room for a morning at Haulover Sandbar and a slow ride back down Biscayne Bay.
Compare with other small yachts in Miami or all VanDutch yachts in Miami.
A black soft top over the helm, a bench of three bolstered cushions across the stern and cream sofas in the cabin. The teak swim platform behind the bench gives the stern a clean line at the water.
The cockpit seating, the stern bench and the cabin sofas share the group. Most of the time is spent outside, so a smaller group can move between the bench and the cockpit table.
Four hours are enough for one good outing: a loop of the Venetian Islands, Star Island and the skyline. Choose 6 hours for a swim at Nixon Sandbar without watching the clock, and 8 hours for two stops with a long ride between them.
It is a place to sit out of the sun and the wind. It has cream sofa seating, a counter with a microwave and a coffee machine, skylight hatches and a porthole, and the head with its sink is next to it.
Through the teak swim platform behind the stern bench, which sits close to the surface. At a sandbar stop the group steps off the platform, and the cockpit seating is a few steps away for drying off.
