Vedette Jachtbouw is a yard in Ter Aar, in the Dutch province of South Holland. Since 2001 it has built steel motorboats for the rivers, canals and lakes of the Netherlands and the inland waterways beyond, so a low air draft is part of the brief. The naming is easy to read: a figure with a dot, such as 9.30 or 11.30, gives the length in metres roughly, followed by the version: Cabin, Salon, Comfort Line or Traveller. Alongside sit the Navigator range, named in feet, and open sloops with a plumb stem.

Our model records list 30 Vedette models, 26 motorboats and four units classed as motor yachts. Recorded build years begin in 2017, and 27 of the 30 models are still in production. Lengths range from 6.6 to 14.85 metres, half of them between 9.85 and 12.65 metres. The core is 18 dot series models, from the 8.30 Cabin at 8.8 metres through the 9.30, 10.30 and 11.30 to the 12.30 at nearly 13 metres and the 14.30 Salon at 14.85. The Steilsteven sloops at 6.6, 7.2 and 8.2 metres are open boats with a plumb stem. The Navigator 35, 41 and 48 run from 10.65 to 14.55 metres, and the Hollander Trend models from 9.75 to 11.6 metres.

A Vedette is a boat for slow travel: weeks on Dutch lakes, trips through French canals, many locks and low bridges. Steel is strong but rusts, so the state of hull and paint, the diesel's hours and the comfort kit such as heating and thrusters decide a boat's value.
