SOLARIS
Yachtsmen International is pleased to present the marvellous 17m VanDutch 56 Yacht ‘SOLARIS.’
Experience Sydney Harbour in unrivalled style. As the only vessel of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, SOLARIS embodies the very best of European design, performance and sophistication, turning heads and delivering unforgettable days on the water.
Unparalleled Sydney Harbour Charter Experience
There’s no better way to see Sydney than from the water. Glide past world-famous landmarks like the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge, drop anchor in secluded coves, or soak up the sun at beautiful bays such as Milk Beach, Rose Bay, or Store Beach in Manly. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, entertaining clients, or escaping the city for the day, SOLARIS offers the perfect blend of luxury, leisure and location.
Design & Comfort
Stretching 16.48 metres with a beam of 4.52 metres, the VanDutch 56 combines bold lines with exceptional comfort. SOLARIS features expansive deck lounges for guests to unwind, a swimming platform for easy water access, and two queen-size cabins. Inside, enjoy a well-equipped galley, a modern bathroom, and an indoor lounge designed for effortless entertaining.
Every detail has been considered — from the state-of-the-art surround sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, to the gyro stabiliser that ensures a smooth, comfortable cruise even in choppier waters.
Performance & Engineering
Powered by twin Volvo IPS 800 engines, with an upgrade option to IPS 950s, the VanDutch 56 delivers an exhilarating yet refined performance. The deep-V planing hull glides gracefully across the water, balancing speed, agility, and efficiency. It’s a true driver’s yacht — built for those who appreciate precision and poise.
