PROJECT BOOBYTRAP. FROM RAGS TO RICHES.
Boobytrap is a Cinderella story. This was a total rebuild; stripping the hull of its past life and designing the VanDutch 40 of the future.
Boobytrap is equipped with a 14-point LED deck lighting system, custom paint, the RN-designed upholstery suite, a redesigned helm station with separate engine monitoring, an RN-designed quartz bar, wireless charging stations and much more. This exclusive project also saw system improvements to interior lighting, sound, actuation, air-conditioning, material finishing, plumbing and electrical.
All upgrades were made with functional luxury in mind. What’s functional luxury? We complete a review of the owner’s boating style, interests, and surrounding waters to create a premium set of personal features. This isn’t just building the best boat; it’s building the best boat for you.
