Another kind of Explorer - Guido de Groot

Designed by our design studio, the Van der Valk 28m Explorer with a raised pilothouse is one of the new generation of motoryachts in the Van der Valk portfolio, offering the ideal blend of the classic & timeless with the bold & original.

We’ve gone to great lengths to ensure the best possible sailing and seakeeping qualities for this design, including a distinctive round-bilged hull. Van der Valk Explorers are designed and built to withstand the toughest environments, and their extensive fuel capacity will enable you to easily make long ocean passages.

Interior pleasures

The main deck has a luxurious master suite forward with a roomy ensuite bathroom and his & her closets. Amidships will be a raised pilothouse with three pilot seats – a great place to join the captain as the yacht progresses around the world. This area also contains a day head and well-appointed closed galley. Further aft will be the saloon with the formal dining space, with the option to extend the lounge into a lovely al fresco dining area with a U-shaped settee.

The majority of the yacht’s lower deck will be occupied by two identical VIP suites and two twin cabins, each with ensuite facilities. Aft of the engine room is a generous crew area with two cabins and a large mess & pantry. Further aft still will be a superb space for aquatic pursuits on a foldable beach platform with shower and sauna. A pantry with minibar will facilitate fun on the water without having to return inside.
