Used Van De Stadt boats for sale

All about Van De Stadt brand

In the 1930s, naval architect Ricus Van de Stadt developed his first sailboat commissioned by a local carpenter who had just developed a new form of plywood. This innovative material had all the qualities required for use in mass-produced shipbuilding: Valk was a great success. Ninety years later, these boats can still be seen on the water.

Constantly striving for innovation and improved performance, this talented shipbuilder was the driving force behind many developments in the world of sailing.

Speed, comfort, safety and quality underpin every Van de Stadt boat model. Speed is systematically approached as a whole, taking the entire boat into consideration - hull shape, weight, keel, rudder and rigging - and in its ability to be manoeuvred easily.

The Van De Stadt 34 and 36 are sailboat cruisers appreciated by many pleasure boaters for their performance both in coastal and offshore settings.

The Stadtship 70 is one of the most powerful cruiser yachts in its range, with very high-quality interior fittings and an aluminium hull that can be grounded without the need for props.

Once a visionary shipbuilder, Van de Stadt is now a yacht design firm with unique know-how, always striving for aerodynamic and hydrodynamic performance. The brand currently has over 400 different models and 25,000 sailboats sailing across the oceans.
