New Launch: Wim Van Der Valk 27.90m Hull no. WV0114

Started in January 2016, this all-aluminium Ginton designed Wim Van der Valk 27m Continental Two  titled m/y Anemeli was delivered on schedule in August 2017. She features a round-bilge fast displacement hull painted in an elegant silver metallic colour. Her wide beam ensures an exceptionally spacious interior as well as lots of lounging space and ample accommodations. A rare feature is the bulb she sports on the submerged section of her hull, which artificially extends the waterline, increasing her speed and efficiency. In another departure from previous Van der Valk vessels in this size range the tender is stored on a multi-functional Opacmare Transformer platform aft, which also features a panto-graph system enabling gangway, passerelle, and swimming platform usage. This solution allowed the flybridge deck to be given over entirely to leisure activities. The flybridge in fact provides plenty of room for an outdoor steering position, a large U-shaped dining area, a shaded wet bar with several stools and pantry, and a sunbathing area. Inside this hull one of the 27m Continental Two flybridge series follows Wim Van Der Valk robust cherry wood interior which reflects a classical nautical nature. The floating spiral staircase in the center of the main deck that leads up to the flybridge is a delicate see-through structure that leaves lines sight open, while lateral doors open onto the gangways on either side. The indoor steering position forward is flanked by a hangout space for guests who enjoy watching the action at the helm. Below deck 27m Continental Two boasts four cabins with ensuite facilities, including two twins, a VIP and a full-beam master suite amidships. The compact crew area in the bow is directly accessible through a custom hatch on the main deck forward. At the explicit request of the owner, a keen fisherman, there is a large freezer next to the lazarette aft of the engine. This space also accommodates two SeaBobs, diving gear and an oversized bathing platform. Anemeli is the first aluminium yacht in the world to be fitted with the new large Man 1900hp engines. Half-loaded Wim Van der Valk 27m Continental Two deployed a maximum speed of thirty knots, two more nautical miles per hour more than the Dutch builder had calculated before completion. This Wim Van der Valk also featured a European first for being equipped with the Veem VG120 gyro stabilizer.

New Launch: Wim Van der Valk 36.80m Hull no. WV0106

Van der Valk Shipyard in the Netherlands has launched the 36.80-metre Santa Maria T, part of its Continental Four range. The largest trawler yacht built by Van der Valk to date, she represents the first of a new generation of designs created in partnership with Guido de Groot. This new and currently large Wim Van der Valk also showcases a brand-new two-axis fin anti-roll damping system that provides stabilization underway and at zero speed. The Continental Four series embodies a style that is classic, timeless yet clearly distinctive. Van der Valk took great care to ensure the best possible sailing and sea keeping qualities for this design, including an original round-bilge steel hull. Built to endure the toughest weather conditions, the 36.80 meter Continental Four has a large fuel capacity that ensures a transatlantic range. She is a full displacement motor yacht with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure; an all-aluminium fast-displacement version of the Continental Four is also available. Both the exterior and interior of the large Continental Four were fully customized to her owner’s wishes. Entering the aft deck from the winding staircase it is clear that this is a proper super yacht. The aft deck itself is spacious and contains an eight-person seating area with table as well as a small pantry with sink and refrigerator. A four-way fold-able stainless steel door links the aft deck with the main saloon. Exemplifying a striking art-nouveau interior style, this area is characterized by some fine detailing. The mahogany woodwork is enhanced with Pacific madrona burl inlays, solid herringbone flooring, embossed alcantara paneling on walls and ceilings, indirect lighting, and perfectly matching artwork. The professionally equipped galley includes all the items a chef could need. The corridor on the starboard side offers access to the day head, the captain's office and the forward helm station. The three-meter dashboard is beautifully upholstered with green top grain leather and equipped with the latest Simrad navigation equipment. A two-person settee on each side of the dashboard allows guests to enjoy the same forward views as the captain. The wheelhouse is fitted with a side door on each side. An upholstered spiral staircase provides access to the lower deck area. This section was designed exclusively for the owner and his guests. Fifty per cent of the total accommodation space is taken up by the owner's quarters. The main stateroom is located amidships and features a bed upholstered entirely in leather, as well as a huge walk-in wardrobe, office, lounge and ensuite bathroom. The latter is finished entirely in two marble tones – green and off-white – and features a cast iron bathtub.The remainder of the accommodation deck is taken up by three guest cabins – a double VIP suite in the bow, a twin guest cabin to port, and a twin queen-sized bunk bed cabin to starboard. All of the guest cabins have their own private bathroom, also finished in two different tones of marble. The crew premises aft comprise three cabins with direct access to the engine room and lazarette, a spacious galley, a crew mess and two bathrooms. Boasting a considerable engine room, the current Wim van Der Valk flagship is powered by twin Volvo 651hp engines which can be walked around. The Volvo's equipped on the 36.80 meter Continental Four come with a rating 1 continuous duty certificate, meaning they can perform 24/7 without a single stop. Other equipment of note aboard include the side boarding ladder with side dock for mooring a tender, hydraulic lazarette hatch, hydraulic swim ladder and customized and widened hydraulic passerelle. Her flybridge can be accessed from both inside and outside via stairs on the aft deck. At almost twenty metes in length, the fly-bridge itself is huge. Everything needed for warm days in the sun can be found upstairs: a full aluminium hardtop, two spacious dining/lounge areas, a kitchen/wet bar with refrigerators, ice maker and a barbecue, an area dedicated to sun beds, and a crane with a capacity of 1200 kg for launching the custom 6.40-meter carbon fibre Beachlander tender.

Project: Wim Van Der Valk 27m Continental Two

Van der Valk Continental Yachts in the Netherlands has received an order for a new 27-metre Continental Two motoryacht. The naval architecture brief will be met by Jaron Ginton, while Guido de Groot is responsible for both the exterior and interior design. The involved broker and owners representative is Nautimar Marine. Construction of the hull will start in January and the yacht is slated for delivery in the spring of 2017.  The owner of the new 27m Continental Two is a very experienced yachtsman with some very clear requirements. Van der Valk was the natural choice to take on the project as a yard with a proven track record in accommodating such wide-ranging wishes.  The all-aluminium, round-bilge fast displacement hull will feature a bulb on the submerged section, extending the waterline. This will set the yacht apart from vessels with a traditional hull and improve performance. The seven metre short beam will be exceptionally wide and the yacht will have Lloyd’s approval for the construction and welding plan, as well as full MCA-MGN-280 Vessel operating Category 2 certification.
