Recognised as one of the most respected names in the maritime sphere, Van der Valk traces its foundations back to 1968. The company was launched by Wim van der Valk Continental Yachts, a dedicated and charismatic maritime enthusiast, in the Netherlands. Beginning as a small family business, Van der Valk quickly achieved significance in the industry with a passion for excellence and an exceptional focus on customer satisfaction.
Based in the heart of the Dutch yachting culture, Waalwijk, Van der Valk prides itself in creating high-quality, custom-built motor yachts for customers across the globe. The company adopted the traditional Dutch methodology of steel yacht construction, maintaining both the aesthetic appeal of the vessels and their stalwart reliability. The Dutch craftsmanship, combined with innovations in design and technology, serves as a hallmark to the brand's success.
Fast forward to the present, this acclaimed boat builder is home to three state-of-the-art production facilities, employing a team of over 60 dedicated professionals. These skilled craftsmen follow an involved construction process designed to meet the varied needs of the Van der Valk clientele. From semi-custom series to fully custom creations, Van der Valk continues to cater to yachtsmen and women desiring high calibre vessels four decades on from their inception.
