Diving is maybe the best way to lift the veil of secrecy and reach out to the treasures the World Ocean carries. From Chios to Hawaii, and from Sardinia to Palau, there is a full spectrum of indescribable beauty just waiting to be experienced by adventurous travelers. Enter the DutchCraft 56. Thanks to versatility and capability, it is the perfect yacht for diving devotees.

The 17-meter DC56 fits about 16 dive sets, all neatly stowed in the aft side oversized lockers (2.7m x 1.5m & 2m x 1.1m). After diving, the empty tanks can be refilled with the optional built-in Bauer junior scuba compressor and all equipment cleaned in the washing basin.

A smartly concealed optional davit crane can be incorporated into the aft section of the vessel. “It is very convenient if you do not feel like lifting the heavy gear from the water,” commented Sietse. “The aft deck is low and we installed a professional ladder, so it’s easy to access the water. After diving, you can wash the equipment in the dedicated basin.” The aft platform of the DC56, one of the yacht’s key features, is dedicated for toys and storage. There is enough space for a watercraft, even a submersible. It is one of the largest aft sections in the class.

Boat for real explorers
DutchCraft has developed two versions of the model, Cabin and Open. While the DC56 Open fits warmer climates, the DC56 Cabin genuinely extends the boating season. “The covered spacious air-conditioned main deck saloon with panoramic tinted windows provides shelter in case weather gets really bad. The DC56 is the perfect boat for the real explorers who want to discover the world from every possible angle,” said Sietse Koopmans.
