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.

[@bookertee3057]

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

[@NickW0771]

Stunning. Absolutely beautifully

[@shootingsportstransparency7461]

Always love Dutch quality

[@j.r.3215]

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!

[@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...

[@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.

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.

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

[@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.

[@strikeryachts]

Top notch all the way around.

[@YachtBuoy]

100% 😉

[@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 !

[@marcgatto9675]

Great machinery space.

[@assmanxhire]

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

[@fredjones7705]

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.

[@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! 🫡

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

[@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.

[@paulcunningham2859]

Nice

[@ARCrawford]

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

Nice Boat Thanks John haven't heard Dhobi in many a year lol

😂 I am surprised more people haven’t asked what it means lol

[@InspectorBadger]

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

[@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 🙏🏻

[@tacodias]

Are the Van der Valks from the shipyard related with the hotel ones?

[@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.

[@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?

[@bootswashere]

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

[@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

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

[@rogerdepuysseleire45]

🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱

[@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.

[@Jamesnewwood]

how much for that amazing yacht

[@suejackson3467]

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.

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

[@happychappyz]

no oven?

[@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.

[@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.

[@VaciLuckys]

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

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!

[@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.
