Crafted for Exploration. Designed for the Planet.
The Home of Vaan in the UK and Ireland
As the exclusive UK & Ireland dealer for Vaan, Fortis Marine represents one of the most forward thinking luxury yacht builders in the world. Vaan catamarans combine circular construction, elegant design and a rewarding sailing feel to create yachts that are as responsible as they are refined.
Built from recycled aluminium and powered by silent electric propulsion, every Vaan is designed to tread lightly without compromising comfort, capability or enjoyment. From coastal adventures to long range liveaboard cruising, Vaan offers sustainable performance with modern luxury at its heart.
The Vaan Range — Sustainable Luxury for Real Sailors
Each Vaan catamaran embodies the brand’s defining philosophy:responsible materials, a bright and spacious living environment, intuitive sailing characteristics and a clear connection to the sea. Whether you are seeking compact coastal capability or superyacht level space, the range delivers thoughtful design and purposeful innovation for every sailor.
Vaan R4 — The Ultimate Deck Saloon Catamaran
The R4 distils the Vaan experience into a capable 42 foot platform. Twin aft helms offer excellent visibility and a monohull like connection to the water, while the adaptable deck saloon concept creates an open, breathable living space. The interior is warm, inviting and finished with natural, sustainable materials.
Owners enjoy a spacious private hull to port, and the starboard hull offers flexible guest arrangements including twin berths, doubles, bunks or an additional heads. Built from recycled aluminium and powered by twin electric saildrives, the R4 delivers quiet propulsion, low environmental impact and confident offshore performance.
Vaan R5 — Go the Distance in Sustainable Luxury
At 49 feet, the R5 is designed for extended liveaboard life and long distance cruising. Its bright, open saloon, generous headroom and warm finishes create a modern penthouse like environment afloat. Available in both three and four cabin layouts, the R5 offers refined accommodation for families, couples or occasional charter use.
Recycled aluminium construction, circular materials and fully electric propulsion provide clean, silent movement under power. The R5’s balanced hulls deliver engaging performance offshore, giving owners the confidence to explore further in comfort and style
Vaan R6 — The Grand Expression of Sustainable Luxury
The 58 foot R6 expands the Vaan concept into a yacht with remarkable space and versatility. With both forward and aft cockpits and expansive saloon glazing, the R6 creates seamless indoor–outdoor living. The optional Belvedere terrace offers a private platform suspended just above the water — a serene retreat at anchor.
Owners benefit from a luxurious private suite in the port hull, complete with office area, walk around berth and a spacious heads. Multiple layout options accommodate families, crew or remote working. Recycled aluminium, circular materials and high capacity electric propulsion systems support quiet, responsible long range cruising.
Vaan R8 — The Flagship of the Vaan Range
At 78 feet, the R8 elevates Vaan’s philosophy to genuine superyacht proportion. With around 150 m² of refined living space, five beautifully appointed cabins and a dedicated crew area, the R8 blends spacious elegance with purposeful, modern design.
A forward saloon door leads directly to the forward cockpit, creating connected yet distinct outdoor lounging zones. Owners can configure the aft area with twin helms for ultimate sailing control or with extended lounging benches for relaxed cruising. The uninterrupted single level layout from aft cockpit to forward cockpit enhances visibility and creates a calm, open atmosphere.
Built from recyclable aluminium and finished with natural materials, the R8 is fully electric, quiet and efficient. Balanced hull forms, a low boom and wide beam stability deliver composed, confident performance on passage or at anchor.
