The luxury cruise offers unlimited food, drinks and travel

With razor-sharp lines, minimalist interiors and a silhouette that wouldn’t look out of place in a sci-fi film , the brand-new luxury yacht is officially turning heads.

Made for high-speed cruising , the 75-foot beast is powered by twin 1,800hp engines that help it glide through the sea at a rapid 40 knots, which is over 45mph, in case you’re wondering.

But it’s not just what’s under the hood that’s getting people talking, the interior is just as impressive.

We’re talking penthouse-on-water vibes, with open-plan living space, Italian-inspired interiors and designer fittings from bow to stern.

Inside, there’s a full-beam master suite, two additional guest cabins, and separate crew quarters that sleep two.

The below-deck setup includes ambient lighting, custom cabinetry and a fully kitted-out kitchen, or “galley”, if you’re feeling nautical.

And this isn’t just for sunbathing and sipping rosé. There’s a navigation station, a pop-up TV, and a high-end sound system, so you can cruise in full-blown party mode or total peace and quiet.

The brand calls it “a natural evolution of the VanDutch DNA”, but we’d call it a floating bachelor pad with Bond-level energy .

Prices for the VanDutch 75 are firmly in seven-figure territory, depending on your chosen setup, but if you’ve got the cash, it’s one hell of a way to sail into retirement.

When can I retire?

IF you're wondering when you can retire, it's best to speak to your pension providers.

Firstly, use the  government’s tool to check your state pension age.

Next check retirement ages on workplace pension schemes – this can  massively impact your windfall  once you enter your golden years.

For advice, you can contact  The Pensions Advisory Service for free online or on 0800 011 3797.

Luxury yachts

And it’s not the only mega-yacht making headlines this season.

The 390ft superyacht Breakthrough , rumoured to belong to billionaire Bill Gates , is also set to make its grand debut at the Monaco Yacht Show this September.

The £476million ship has been billed as the first-ever hydrogen-powered yacht, and comes with jaw-dropping features including a cinema, basketball court , hospital, two offices, and enough staterooms to house an entire football team.

If Gates really is behind it, he’s got competition from Brooklyn Beckham , who was recently spotted sailing into Saint-Tropez aboard his billionaire in-laws’ 80-metre yacht, Project X, worth a cool £85million.

Meanwhile, his dad David Beckham was moored nearby on his own £16million vessel Seven, which looks like a dinghy by comparison.

From sci-fi style yachts to floating mansions with four-storey townhouses tucked inside, it’s clear 2025 is the year of the mega boat flex.

And with VanDutch leading the charge in design, tech and speed, it might just be time to trade your retirement home for a vessel spot.
