Vaan R6 – The Grand Expression of Sustainable Luxury
At 58 feet, the Vaan R6 represents a significant step up in space, refinement and offshore capability. Nearly 18 metres in length, it feels like a true penthouse on the water, with expansive seating areas, generous headroom and wide windows that provide uninterrupted views of the horizon. The tough aluminium hull pairs beautifully with the glossy cockpit, coachroof and glazing, creating a vessel that is powerful, modern, and unmistakably elegant.
Where Sailing, Style and Sustainability Meet
The R6 has been designed for long range voyaging without compromising comfort. Built from recycled aluminium and finished with circular materials, it reflects Vaan’s mission to sail the planet responsibly. The all electric propulsion system delivers silent, low vibration performance, making life onboard peaceful and efficient. From high latitude expeditions to Mediterranean cruising, the R6 will take you wherever you want to go, whether sailing as a couple, with family, or with a professional crew.
Forward Saloon Door & Exterior Living
The R6 features a forward saloon door that opens directly into the forward cockpit — a versatile outdoor living area perfect for enjoying late day sun or creating a private retreat. This enhances the yacht’s social flow, linking the saloon naturally with both the aft and forward cockpits.

The Signature Open Transom
The open transom strengthens the connection to the sea, drawing you closer to the water while steering or relaxing at anchor. The R6 blends this elemental feel with advanced onboard systems, ensuring handling remains intuitive, safe and assured in all conditions. It is a yacht that delivers both performance and comfort in perfect balance.
Next Level Remote Working
The R6 redefines what remote working can be. With optional Starlink connectivity, the yacht becomes a floating office with global reach. Owners can write, lead teams, manage businesses, or simply stay connected from some of the most secluded cruising grounds on earth. When the galley is located downstairs, the saloon can even include a dedicated work desk. Why ever go back?
Suites
The Owners Suite
The owners suite on the R6 is a private retreat spanning much of the port hull. It includes a generous walk around berth, a dedicated office area, a separate heads and a spacious forward compartment with sink and walk in shower. The result is a personal space that feels refined, luxurious and beautifully arranged for long term living aboard.
The Guest Master Cabin
Guests enjoy the same level of comfort as the owners. The guest master berth offers generous dimensions, warm finishes and excellent storage, creating a welcoming environment ideal for friends, children or extended family joining long voyages.

The Belvedere – A Private Terrace Over the Sea
Unique to Vaan, the R6’s Belvedere is a fold out terrace that opens the owners hull directly onto the water. Suspended just above the surface, it becomes the perfect spot for morning coffee, a swim before breakfast or a peaceful afternoon surrounded only by the sea. A true sanctuary at anchor.
