Overview

M/Y SPECTRE is VanDutch 40-foot minimalist luxury day cruiser, known for its iconic Mulder Design styling, powerful twin diesel performance, and a refined open deck layout built for socializing and comfort. It stands as one of the brand’s most recognizable and influential models, celebrated for its sleek, minimalist lines and a layout that blends performance with luxury. The truly flagship example of modern European day boat styling, offering both high speed capability and premium onboard comfort.

The yacht features clean, angular lines and an elongated bow that create its unmistakable silhouette. The large aft sunpad provides a signature lounging area. The cockpit is centered around a social bar area, complete with a wine cooler and refrigerated table for effortless entertaining. A Bimini top enhances usability in sunny climates. 

Below deck, the VanDutch 40 offers a contemporary open space cabin with premium materials, soundproofing, and vibration reduction for a quiet retreat. The cabin includes a queen-size V berth, galley station, and a very accommodating bathroom for improved comfort. Ambient lighting and refined finishes create a calm, modern atmosphere. 

Powered with twin Cummins 480 HP engines, the hull is engineered for a smooth, dry ride, even at higher speeds. Simrad NSS EVO 2 navigation suite and Easy Maneuvering System—provide intuitive navigation and maneuvering.
