New Van der Valk Explorer Yacht Available This Spring

It’s not often that a chance comes along to own a customizable, Dutch quality yacht without an extensive wait. 

But Van der Valk Shipyard has just announced that the Explorer 25m, the second in an exciting new series of semi-custom Dutch long-range style yachts designed by Guido de Groot, will be completed in time for the upcoming season.

Due for delivery in June/July 2017, this 25-meter beauty offers an exceptional amount of volume for her size. This reflects the fact that the motoryacht has been created to facilitate exploring the seas in style and comfort.

“This Van der Valk 25m Explorer is an opportunity that rarely comes along where you can purchase a custom yacht of Dutch quality without the wait normally required in a build of this caliber,” said Denison Fort Lauderdale yacht broker Kevin Frawley. “This boat is exceptional and will be a great buy for her new owner.”

There is still a lot of flexibility available for the new owners to shape how that style and comfort pans out in practice, including the floors, ceilings, upholstery, some of the machinery and equipment and the hull color. Van der Valk customizes its yachts to specific owner preferences and welcomes the opportunity to do the same with this yacht.

Overall, the interior of the 25m is refined and practical, offering comfortable accommodations for eight people in four suites. This full-displacement motoryacht has a round-bilged hull, which provides excellent fuel efficiency. A full aluminium construction and large fuel tanks help provide a very impressive range.

Van der Valk has been constructing both steel and aluminium motoryachts since 1968. The family-owned shipyard employs more than 45 craftsmen and is located in Waalwijk, the Netherlands. The yard has primarily earned its worldwide reputation from the award-winning semi-custom Continental series. Van der Valk also has the capacity to build fully custom designs.

VAN DER VALK Explorer yachts are built to endure the toughest weather conditions, and are specifically designed with a large fuel capacity, enabling them to make trans-Atlantic passages. They are mainly built in a full displacement version with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, but are also available as full aluminium fast-displacement vessels.
