Van der Valk Beach Club Concept Takes Shape

July 18, 2017 7:09 am

Taking shape in spectacular fashion at Van der Valk’s facilities is the first in the Dutch yard’s striking new BeachClub range of yachts. Construction of the 19.05-meter Van der Valk BeachClub 600 started early this year and is on schedule to launch early next year.

Following months of R&D with designer Cor D. Rover and Ginton Naval Architects, the patent is pending for Van der Valk’s unique choice of engine room location, which is expected to spark a revolution in motoryachting in the way on board space is used.

The aluminium hull and superstructure will be finished this summer, with the next steps being the sandblasting and insulation, followed by preparations for the paintwork.

Each week that work on the BeachClub 600 progresses, it becomes clearer just how spacious this unique yacht is going to be. That, of course, is the whole idea behind this innovative concept, which offers a new way of looking at space by installing the propulsion system aft in the area of the swim platform.

The BeachClub 600 will feature a twin Volvo Penta IPS-950 drive train providing a top speed of 25 knots. 

Dispensing with the traditional engine room gives an unprecedented amount of interior volume plus space for three awesome al fresco zones, all of which are taking shape before our eyes. Imagine how the BeachClub 600 will feel with her expansive 25m2 foredeck area, 17m2 cockpit deck with outside steering position, and 14m2 beach club aft with a smart swimming platform and sun lounge area.

The interior will be no less impressive: the yacht will house a marvellous owners’ suite forward and two separate saloons. The spacious upper lounge will afford panoramic views from the inside steering position, while the broad lower deck lounge includes a galley and dining area with direct access to the swimming platform via curved glass sliding doors.

The liberal use of glass will give the BeachClub an airy, open feel. The two lounges and the master suite provide all-round vistas, and glass inserts in the hull result in an additional air of class for the elegant exterior profile.
