Founded in 1967, Van der Valk has evolved from a local Dutch boatbuilder into a globally recognized name for custom aluminum and steel motor yachts. Based in Waalwijk, the shipyard remains family-run and dedicated to a boutique approach, limiting its annual output to ensure each vessel meets its exacting standards of Dutch quality.

The current portfolio is uniquely positioned between 60’ (18m) and 150’11” (46m), a size range where true custom construction is a rarity. Owners can choose from several established series platforms, such as the Pilot or Beach Club lines, or embark on a completely bespoke project tailored to their specific technical and lifestyle needs.

Engineering excellence is a constant at the yard, with many models featuring advanced hull forms and propulsion systems like Volvo Penta IPS. By merging traditional craftsmanship with modern efficiency, the shipyard creates yachts that are as seaworthy as they are aesthetically distinctive, designed for those who refuse to settle for an off-the-shelf product.
