MADE FOR SAILORS
Like all Vaan models, this catamaran is designed with sailors in mind. Featuring a signature low boom, aft helms, and an interior helm bridge, it perfectly balances the performance of a sailing yacht with the comfort of a luxury villa. Its world-class naval architecture, combined with renowned Dutch craftsmanship, guarantees exceptional quality in every detail.

SLEEK LINES
With expansive deck and cockpit space, a fly-bridge becomes unnecessary. Keeping the boom closer to the deck not only enhances mainsail performance but also maintains the vessel’s sleek silhouette. The full roof offers ample space for solar panels, while the R8’s profile remains stunningly streamlined.

UPPER DECK
The upper deck of the R8 is spacious, providing ample space during sailing and manoeuvring, or for having fun while at anchor. The steps from the upper deck into the cockpit and forward cockpit are spacious, safe and comfortable. 

A WIDE OPEN LIVING SPACE
From the aft cockpit, through the large living room saloon to the forward cockpit, the massive living space is all open and on the same level. This creates a true superyacht style feeling. The indoor helm is at the front of the saloon and can be closed off for privacy. 

5 SPACIOUS CABINS
The R8 can be configured with 2 large owner style cabins aft, two additional guest cabins and a crew- or children’s cabins starboard front. In total the R8 can sleep 12 adults comfortably.

Located in the starboard mid-section, the kitchen offers flexibility to suit your needs. It can be enclosed on either side—allowing the crew to prepare and serve meals discreetly—or left open if you prefer to take the culinary helm yourself

FULL LIVING AREA
This layout shows the full living area, on two levels: cockpit, saloon and forward cockpit plus both hulls. The crew enjoys their own quarters, complete with a separate kitchen and direct access to the bridge, ensuring seamless service and uninterrupted navigation. Of course, the R8 can also be sailed without crew, even shorthanded. 

DIMENSIONS
