The MOST Futuristic 49ft Catamaran we've EVER SEEN! Full Tour
Step aboard our favourite yacht at this year’s La Grande Motte International Multihull Show; the incredible Vaan Yachts R5, a futuristic 49ft luxury catamaran that completely redefines life on the water.
In this video, we toured one of the most talked-about boats at the show: the $1.5M Vaan R5. Built from recycled aluminium and designed with sustainability at its core, this sailing catamaran is pushing to be one of the most unique yachts on the water. From the large, solid glass panels and minimalist interiors to the boutique-hotel styling and all-electric propulsion, the R5 feels more like a floating luxury penthouse than a sailing yacht.
The Vaan R5 combines Dutch design, modern architecture, and long-range cruising capability into one seriously unique package.

Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew 👋🏼
After years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. Last year, we bought our 11m catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure full time across the Mediterranean.
