Van Der Valk Articles
Sailing to the rhythm of the tranquil tides while basking in the ornate interiors of Van der Valk, a name that personifies excellence in the world of yachts, one is bound to be mesmerised. As the poised vessel cleaves the crystal azure, nostalgia is etched into the deep blue eternity.
True to its reputation, Van der Valk, displays an impressive commitment to detail. It’s carefully orchestrated spaces are a testament to skillful designing, meticulously blended with the aesthetics of an artist’s vision. Enter its expansive decks to be welcomed by an ambiance of sophistication, each corner humming a different, yet harmonious tune of luxury. The interiors are designed with an affinity for light-filled aesthetics, rendering spaces that sparkle with luminosity when the sun pours in through the expansive glass windows. It’s in these moments that one truly appreciates the essence of space and light intertwined with luxury.
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.
