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.

On the lower deck of the DC56, there is modern, comfortable and easily maintained accommodation for up to eight guests in four cabins. The yacht is equipped with a dishwasher, a freezer, a wine cooler, an icemaker, and two fridges. The high ceiling height on the lower deck gives a sense of space and comfort, while noise and vibration have been minimised to provide a smooth and silent environment.

The yacht’s engine combinations are either twin Volvo Penta IPS 600 or 950. The top option offers the maximum speed of over 40 knots in comfort with minimal turbulence, thanks to the high-performance composite hull designed and engineered by DutchCraft’s in-house expert team. The range of up to 840 nm is also impressive and guarantees several days of autonomous exploration. The DutchCraft DC56 is also available in commercial version with John Deere Engines and Doen jets that allows for 30.000-hour service intervals.

What is even more convenient is that the yacht is equipped with Volvo Dynamic Positioning System. When activated with a press of a single button on the joystick, it automatically maintains the boat´s position within a very limited area, even during strong currents or windy conditions. There is no need to use an anchor, which is usually prohibited in sensitive and protected marine areas such as over coral reefs.
