The aluminum catamaran that we discovered just over two years ago in Hellevoetsluis, in the south of the Netherlands, is without doubt one of the only 40-foot catamarans on the market to adopt this robust, 100% recyclable material.
Vann Yachts’ eco-responsible approach is also reflected in the use of electric motors and the adoption of non-polluting and/or recyclable materials, such as the highly successful new headlinings fitted to the R4 #2 presented at Cannes. In addition to these first two R4s, the builder has already launched two R5s, and two more catamarans are currently in production. A great success story for this young company...
