Looking for a go-anywhere blue-water cruiser? This Van de Stadt Caribbean 40, built by Dutch yard Aluboot, has serious credentials: her first owner sailed her around the world, and the current owner has extensively cruised the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Caribbean.
What Makes Her Special
The game-changer here is the center keel with lifting mechanism and twin rudders. Like an Ovni, she can “dry fall” – giving you access to beaches and anchorages that deep-keel boats can’t reach. The aluminum construction means strength without excessive weight.
Recent Upgrades
Ready to Cruise
She’s seriously equipped: 400W solar, watermaker, 1,000L water capacity, 675L fuel, full navigation suite with AIS and SSB, multiple anchors with electric windlass, comprehensive sail inventory, and two tenders with outboards.
Below: well-equipped galley, marine AC, hot water, plenty of storage.
The Real Story
This isn’t a marina queen – the teak deck needs replacing and there are some systems to address. But she’s a proven, extensively equipped vessel ready for serious offshore cruising with the unique advantage of a lifting keel.
