Van der Valk Yachts for Sale

Iconic Dutch shipyard Van der Valk, based in Waalwijk, the Netherlands, specialises in the semi-custom and fully custom construction of steel and aluminium motor yachts ranging from 18 metres to 45 metres in length.

Founded in 1968 by builder Wim van der Valk, the shipyard initially entered the pleasure boat market with cabin and aft-cabin cruisers ranging from seven to ten metres, including iconic models like the Valkkruiser, Comfort, Royal, Falcon and Super Falcon that garnered international recognition throughout the 1970s. In the mid-1980s, Van der Valk shifted direction and launched the now acclaimed Vitesse series of steel and aluminium semi-displacement motor yachts, gaining industry recognition for their progressive design and exceptional cruising capabilities. Delivering more than 1,000 motor yachts to date, Van der Valk remains a family-owned business, operating from five state-of-the-art production facilities. Van der Valk’s fleet includes the Flybridge, Raised Pilot House, Explorer and Beach Club series next to custom designs. Notable deliveries from Van der Valk include the BeachClub 660 Flybridge and the award-winning 27.20-metre Next Episode, a Continental III featuring exterior and interior design by Guido de Groot Design. Van der Valk also offers refit and maintenance services, providing long-term support for owners.
