Van der Valk Shipyard

Custom aluminium yachts from 20 to 40 m, the Van der Valk family.

Wim van der Valk founded the yard in 1967 in Waalwijk, and the family still runs it. The yard builds aluminium and steel yachts for owners who want a boat designed for them, at a size where most competitors offer series production.

The range covers 20 to 40 m: the Continental (fast coupés and flybridge), the Explorer (displacement), the BeachClub, and the Custom beyond 30 m. Lines are often by Cor D. Rover or Guido de Groot, interiors personalised.

Strengths: custom aluminium at a size where others offer series production, a family at the helm since 1967, and good resale in northern Europe.
