i have to say this is one of the best explorer yachts i have ever seen. The woodwork and finish throughout the yacht is nothing short of what you would find in a Dutch boat yard no short cuts on this boat.

[@NickW0771]

Stunning. Absolutely beautifully

[@bookertee3057]

Dutch built by Van der Valk. This yacht checks all the boxes.

[@Hojiii]

I really appreciate how considerate and respectful you are of the crew. ❤

[@YachtBuoy]

Always 🫡

[@haykar12]

One of my favorite long range yachts. Feels like a home, and I find the design De Grute has on these series of yachts are the best available

[@limbandtreeremoval]

Ohh but 1,000 liters of fuel, Isn't that short 7,000 liters of fuel...To be an explorer yacht? Unless im doing the calculations wrong, or its 4x more efficient, PLEASE let me know... Don't think I can get to the Azores on a tank...

[@shootingsportstransparency7461]

Always love Dutch quality

[@orwellknew9112]

I like it a lot. It’s a real Explorer Yacht, built like a tank and with a lovely layout and finishes throughout. I feel adventurous, safe and comfortable just watching the video.

An Explorer Yacht build with quality you would expect from a Dutch Ship Yard very nice.

[@laki74]

Finally we've gotten a tour of this fantastic yacht. I've been eagerly waiting so long for a tour, that I've almost given up hope. Thanks for making my day.

[@YachtBuoy]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@johnk1529]

No doubt one of the best examples of this type you've shown us.

[@HerfingPug]

When marine engineering and art combine.

What a kind of beautiful yacht.

I like how you show where you are on the deck plans with the blue dots.

I love the centrifugal fuel separator. I think water in the fuel is the chief cause of engine problems. It happens more often in rough weather when everything is getting sloshed around (bad time for problems) My main experience is crewing on a Burger 87 on the great lakes and it happened to us. By the next year the owner had installed an Alfa Laval seperator (those things ain't cheap) and we never had fuel problems again.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

Built to outlast many, and has the comfortable home feel so many miss when building and decorating. This is not only a great 'family' live-aboard, but could be chartered out occasionally too. Well Done !

[@jozefcichocki6305]

Good Day !, I always love to watch all Dutch-built motor yachts, and this is one as usual very smart design as well as a practical vessel starting from a gully with a great double sink to being beautifully appointed on suits in every possible way, so in my opinion is only one more comment, great job in designing. Thank You all involved in building this perfectly design and layout vessel 👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, Melbourne Australia.

[@duncanjames914]

Nice boat. What I would like to know more about are the technical systems including type of stabilizers, freshwater maker capacity, Heating/cooling, generators, engines, hull construction etc. Thanks John!

[@jaffaholland4039]

Love this style of yacht. Did not catch the price of this beautiful yacht. I love the use of space, the cabins are large and really well placed.

[@assmanxhire]

This boat is perfect, there is not a thing I would change or remove or add to.

[@GarthBell-k8o]

Stunning indeed!

[@alisavas9526]

Great tour, and what a lovely boat. I'd love to compare full specs with a similar size Bearing!

[@SpLiC3]

Thanks for the walk through. Great yacht, i always prefer designs with focus on functionality and good use of space over exterior styling.

[@seanogden927]

A beautiful yacht, love everything about it. Great tour thank you.

Very nice this vessel is large enough to have a nicer bathroom, maybe a bath shower combo.

Thanks! I appreciate it ⚓️

[@somethintoviewwithyou2876]

@@YachtBuoy Always brother! You do great work! Check out, MCP Yachts, Global Exp 68. I think it’s an eye opener for explorer S/Y.

[@frowe2049]

A couple of suggestions. Slow down how quickly you pan, it's to fast - viewers rarely have a chance to focus. Check your video stabilization, the shake is distracting. Lastly, consider a wider field of view, your current FOV likely adds to your rapid back and forth panning. Understood that your walk-through was probably time limited which makes planning time. Good content, enjoy your channel.

[@jimgraves6464]

Very nice boat👍💯

[@wellcraft19]

Might be hard to accommodate this suggestion, but a shorter lens (although not a fish eye) would greatly help us viewers getting a better 'feel' for an engine room layout. Even in cases like these when they are relatively roomy. Apart from that, a lovely vessel. Rather short range, as expected at full cruising speed, and still 'only' 3,000 miles at 9 knot. Curious what its range would be in a more traditional - for long range trawlers - speed of 5-6 knots?

[@stevecoppin2557]

Lovely vessel but for me it is missing a major thing - add a nice 4.5" Mark 5 on the foredeck and it would be perfect.

[@user-unclewowa]

It was great to see a review of the Van Der Valk Anemeli yacht

[@frankcherry3810]

Costal Cruiser. Beautiful Boat… engine room as clean as it can be. Perfect Oligarch mini-vessel. Haha

[@josephkordinak1591]

I like the layout of the boat. Wish it had more visibility of the bow from the flybridge. Does the boat have any method of stabilization? I am surprised the boat has a 1000hp being a full displacement boat.

[@clifbradley]

Love Van DerWalk. Thought after Helga, Lene and Velga they would have popped more with people because they said they wanted to do more superyachts up to 50M in length in either steel or aluminum, but that was 2 years ago and we really haven't seen anything from them and they haven't really been out there too much with marketing. I woukd have thought people would have mentioned they had yachts going into production but other than a few spec sessions, I haven't heard them making first cut on anything bigger than 35M. Maybe I'm wromg, because again, they don't announce their moves .like some yards do, but if you know different then please share

[@jamescook4u]

Yacht Buoy, fine video, although a spec sheet would have been a nice addition.

[@ARCrawford]

That's a perfect boat. I wonder if you could substitute one of the tenders for a hot tub. 🙂

[@InspectorBadger]

Definitely my style. I don't like the fiberglass Italian types. I would guess it punches above its weight in terms of seaworthiness.

[@ThoughtfulWander]

Nice yacht! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍

[@bwatson7586]

Well I'll be bimble, very nice boat to Van der Valk the world in

[@domcp711]

Your tours are getting better and better. I would have wished for a bit more specs like the gross tonnage. What stabilization system is used? Thanks!

[@YachtBuoy]

Thanks for the feedback 🫡 Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏻

[@bootswashere]

Very nice ship. Is there an oven?...a microwave/convection oven?...a dishwasher?

[@marcgatto9675]

Great machinery space.

[@LOVECATO1]

I know nothing of ocean voyagers but enjoy these videos. Query: in very heavy seas are the windows and glass doors strong enough to take a very big wave?

[@YachtBuoy]

Absolutely! 🫡

[@geofffleming12]

That cap rail needs varnish. Unstained decks are nice as is the stainless on the bow. Within, the use of diffuse LED lighting does a nice job of making lower staterooms feel warm and inviting & not claustrophobic. I feel like overall her design is informed by the venerable Fleming Pilothouse, with European sensibilities. Much to like here.

[@charleshammond8266]

Not knowing, but estimating the LWL, the D/L seems to be close to 235. If so, I think she’s not the robust explorer that she appears to be. In future, will it be possible to add the LWL or distance between perpendiculars to your specs?

[@johnlucas4648]

I think instead of a seating are in the master I would prefer a coffee and drink station with a little refrigerator

[@raimundodantas6956]

Otima apresentação, otimo barco com suas caracteristicas unicas . Parabeeeens.

Thank you 🫡

[@gary.haynes]

The price is what is amazing! Only US$980,000

[@TrogART]

Nice craft, do like Dutch builds this one has a very tasteful interior. Built a Dutch barge from a Branson Kit myself and she was lovely, took me years to build.

Does it come wo the fly bridge ? Or can it be enclosed.

[@Joe_1sr9]

Love this boat. How much is it please???

[@kbbb4227]

I thought to be considered a true explorer you needed at least 4000 miles.

[@tomickes409]

you asked ......... I would prefer smaller engines and more range ...... I also don't like wood decks. The always bleach out and look old even when new. But this ship looks great .

Beautiful Dutch build quality yacht, but as all other yacht the toilets are a way to low , i would have my knees under my chin and i,am just 6.4, even in my house are the toilets 2 inch higher than standard .

Missing a oven have to have one

[@laki74]

It has an double oven. On the opposite side of the galley, just before you enter the wheelhouse.

[@thegreekgeekreborn]

How much is the poxy vessel?

[@YachtBuoy]

I have no idea. When it comes to these custom projects, only the owner, the shipyard and the naval architect knows……

[@philjohnwilliams]

Did I miss it, or is there no oven in the galley?

[@lesterpittenger5992]

No even for you!

[@dehaviland7645]

I was wondering myself but there was a 2 oven combo just forward from the kitchen as he walked out of the wheelhouse.

[@happychappyz]

no oven?

[@FREEDOM195844]

Since its full displacement why would it have such large engines. Just wastes fuel.

[@VaciLuckys]

Not absolutely necessary these days but doesn't the flybridge get a ship's wheel? I mean, it's a trawler style boat,........

[@sheepdog1102]

Nice boat but not enough range. I would like to see at least 4 thousand mile range.

[@orwellknew9112]

It’s over 3,000 NM range at a cruising speed of 9 NM/H. I’m sure that could be increased to a 4,000 NM range.

Party boat for the nouveau riche not a ship for mariners. Lacks a massage parlor.

[@hughthomas8260]

She's elegant but seems to lack a lot of practicality to be a real explorer yacht, in a large see there seems to be a distinct lack of hand holds, the galley would be terrible in a big sea, no mention of real storage i.e freezer and dry goods but didn't seem obvious; fantastic for the Med but real live aboard passage maker I don't think so (sadly).

[@dougwhite6767]

Probably sea, not see

[@JeremeyHowlett]

I disagree, that is the perfect size yacht. It feels so cozy and private.

[@ryanrevis827]

He may not have shown the extra freezer but if it has an extra dryer, there’s most likely a extra freezer. The shipyard thy built this is o e of the best in the world, and not just for “yachts” but for commercial style boats as well, meant for the North Sea.

[@mtkoslowski]

Also, who the hell, in the owner’s cabin wants to share a sink? 🤢

[@kendallevans4079]

No nod to trad!t!on here. Hard .."NO"

[@garyyoung4074]

Green water over the bow with all the seating and storage? I think all the nice stuff would be destroyed or at least damaged and swept overboard.

[@garyyoung4074]

Inside way to angular and pointy sharp edges for me. Maybe there is a more traditional interior option. Outside very nice muscular solid look. I'd not want a crew but it's big enough to maybe warrent one. Too much for me!

[@ВиталийДанилов-ь2б]
