Explore the Grandeur of Van der Valk's Custom 34.1-metre Superyacht 'One'
Hailing from the esteemed Dutch shipyard, Van der Valk’s groundbreaking superyacht, One, rewrites the rule-books of luxury sea travel. Following upon its highly anticipated delivery at the end of last year, One emerges from the shadows of its initial alias, Project 111.11, into a world breathlessly awaiting its charm.
With design inputs from experienced owners, the 34.1-metre brain-child of Guido de Groot and Carla Guilhem depicts a vivid portrait of luxury. Naturally lit cabins, curving lines, and daringly large windows merge to form an unexpected symphony, driving a departure from organic designs to embracing the raw beauty of imperfect geometric forms.
The four-decked yacht comfortably houses up to ten people across five staterooms, despite the initial request for a larger space. Among the decadently adorned rooms, a full-beam master suite stands out, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a unique recessed oval feature.
Making a bold statement are sculptural chairs, an impressive elliptical chandelier in the lounge, and a skin-smoothing monochrome look that highlights the neutral tones within the yacht. Yet, it maintains its formidable nature as a commercial charter class yacht, just under 300GT, and without needing a rescue tender or davit.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta 750hp engines, ‘One’ combines thrilling speed and unrivaled luxury, offering a peak velocity of up to 14.4 knots. In summary, Van der Valk’s ‘One’ is a mingling of contrasting aesthetics and unyielding functionality, weaving an epic tale of maritime opulence.
