New Launch: Van Der Valk 23.56m Hull no. WV0138

Van der Valk has recently launched the 23.56-metre hull number. WV0138 titled motor yacht Felis.  Altough a custom build this this latest Van der Valk is part of the Explorer line, which debuted in 2015 and has far seen four other custom units from 25 to 36 meters.  This latest Van der Valk Explorer shows the benefits of clients who truly know how to enjoy life on the water all year round. Guido de Groot designed a charming yacht inspired to the other Explorer Van der Valk units which he designed, with naval architecture for this 23 meter coming from Dutch firm Diana. Both designers designed this Van der Valk 23.56m Explorer around the specific length required by its owner, offering a spacious interior volume for a relatively compact sub 24 meters size, with navigational comfort assured by a round-bilged steel hull with bulbous bow and the low centre of gravity that comes with an aluminium superstructure.  The interior of Felis offers a four double guest accommodation plan, on a standard owners midships stateroom, forward VIP, and two cabins with twin berths. The living is all on the main deck, with a welcoming saloon on entry to port side, open galley with opposite dinette, and wheelhouse with L-shaped dinette starboard.  Located aft is the crew accommodation for two in two cabins aft and sharing a private bathroom, accessed via the lazarette with direct access to the engine room.  Van der Valk 23.56m hull number WV0138 is powered by twin Man 500hp for speeds up to thirteen knots and a cruise of twelve.
