It's about time someone did something different and I love it
Yeah big sliding door right above the water subbing for a transom doesn't seem all that seaworthy to me.
Totally agree with you.
Fantastic! For me it's the ultimate live aboard. I would convert the second guest cabin to a studio/lab and then live the hi-life all around the world. Well... A man can still dream!
I would do live aboard on this also ! I love so many of the boats he reviews. But this one makes a lot of sense to me. Just wondering about the maintenance for the engines?
Love this new concept!!! It is about time someone did something different and gave people basically what they want for holidays and relaxing after work hours. And with this boat you don’t have to go too far to enjoy the outdoors !!! Literally! Nice. So many entertaining areas! Keeping a stock up of food and drink will cost a fortune!
Hit the nail on the head there, like no other which i've seen before. Not sure whether i'm a fan or not but its cool!
Great to see something genuinely different
AQUAHOLIC for sure!
It definitely has its pros and cons. From other boats that size you're losing a "master cabin" and any crew area, but it seems like this is the most "RV" feeling one I've seen. Having the main salon where it is also allows it to be the full beam of the boat, rather than usually losing a couple of feet on each side for decks.
It’s a bad design in terms of space but I like the creative layout
I like this boat but the interior looks a bit cheap when for the same price you can have a Princess.
As per usual, excellent tour Nick.

@@AQUAHOLIC does that mean it _can_ weather a storm? 0_o Those giant windows suggest it can't
@@visionist7 Category A - Ocean: covers largely self-sufficient boats designed for extended voyages with winds of over Beaufort Force 8 (over 40 knots), and significant wave heights above 13 feet, but excluding abnormal conditions such as hurricanes.
I really liked that layout. It seemed to take the emphasis off the cabins and made more of the outdoor and communal spaces.
I think it's a winner!
Love the loft apartment feel!
Wow, that's absolutely amazing. That huge living area on water level, uninterrupted by side decks, that galley with that atrium, a day head, another big salon next to that beautiful helm, the cosy raised cockpit looks better than a traditional one because you dont have that huge wheelhouse, the slanted doors and that short connection to the flybridge, incredible. That massive front deck area, AND a flybridge.. It has more exterior and more interior spaces than a conventional layout, thanks to that "out of the way engine position" and the mid-level mezzanine layout. All of this comes at the price of a proper master cabin. I think that concept would absolutely rule on a 70 footer. My new favourite yacht, especially for warm climates. I'd still have the Harkvoort for Scandinavia and such, but at this size and type of boat, I think that Van Der Valk beach club concept is the future. Thanks for the great walkaraound.
I really like this boat, it wouldn't work for me on the Pacific, but for the Mediterranean, it is really an incredible concept.
Fantastic for the Great Lakes too. In summer!
They are working on a 100' version as well, can't wait for your tour of that!
I didn't know that - definitely will try and get a tour, that will be amazing!
I like the hundred footer deck plans! Definitely lets the philosophy come into its own with a crew area serving the galley and a sexy triple inside helm.
Edit: With the near plumb bow it should cruise at around 13 knots with hardly a bow wave... Imagine relaxing on the bathing platform in a flat calm at that speed. Now _that's_ bliss.
The hundred footer deckplans have disappeared! :-0 Maybe they cancelled the idea. Shame!
I already saved them on my phone ;-)
@@visionist7 They moved them to the concepts tab under fleet, here is a new link:

What a beautiful reflection of how most boats are used. It really, really makes sense. Instead of designing a boat the way it's "supposed to be designed," this was designed for the way people use boats.
Very intriguing. That swim platform looked like ACRES of open space. Wild.
Yes It would be nice to have the jacuzzi there...even for just rinsing off after the ocean swim, if for nothing else...🤣
Fascinating boat. To me the brushed oak makes it all a bit IKEAesque. Great tour as always Nick.. that atrium is wow.
That is one of the most beautiful and interesting looking layouts I’ve ever seen on a yacht that size. Had to watch this twice couldn’t get enough of it! Good video. Keep em coming.
I love it! A lot of windows and light everywhere! Often cabins on other ships remember me of a cellar. They are dark and have tiny windows. Not this one. Every room, every cabin is full of light and gives a good view.
Been looking for you to review this one. One of the most innovative uses of space in a long time thanks to Volvo IPS,
NO SQUEAKY DECKING ! The lower saloon is not restricted by side decks because they are on the next level up gives you loads of space. ( North Pacific 49 does this also). The profile of the boat is very pretty also, but I bet she had heavy traffic at Cannes.
In my mind I am comparing this to the Lexus L650 fly ( a Carver with a fancy paint job) and the Lexus gets blown away by this beauty ! Blown away by 16 inch battle ship guns !
This boat would great to have in the Bahamas !
I really like this boat. Only thing that causes a little pause is the amount of storage available. I would love to see the engine bay and if there is good stofage under the floor. I imagine tankage takes a lot of the underfloor space?
It actually makes a lot of sense that the layout of the boat puts all the heavy stuff right at the bottom of it, so in theory it should sail very stable. I would like to have seen the engine bay.
WOW! Very unusual. I thank I like it. Those windows in the owner’s cabin were awesome.
Great video Nick, and, well I can't make up my mind. But upstairs front worries me, where the anchor chain is the deck protection railings finish well before they should. Could see kids going flying off that not a good idea.
Would like to have seen the engine space though. But thanks again.
I really hope one day you can get around one to make a little more in depth tour of this where you can also show the engine compartment. This really looks quiet interesting!
That is a neat boat, that huge platform at the back would definitely be really good for when you're parked up
You could have a full folding table and chairs and eat out there :-D
Wow!
This is perfect. I love the layout of this boat - they’ve re-written the rules, and it really works. I’d add another wet bar & barbecue to the platform at the back, & maybe get it painted in a pale sky blue.
Nice one, Nick. 👍
I like it..the saloon is very cool idea, but i would be willing to chop one of the guest cabins for a more impressive master, and the hot tub is a must!
Wow - just wow. What an amazing boat - and superb tour.
I'm loving the layout on this yacht, not seen anything like that before.
Plenty of outside social space for during the day to enjoy the sun then as the sun goes down a great aft indoor area as well on sea level to carry on partying.
Then just a short stroll to your cabins on the same level with no stairs to worry about.
Superb. Thanks for the tour.
Sadly a lot of Dutch shipyards have been closed the last couple of decades. However if you want a luxurious custom made yacht there is no denying that Dutch yachts are one of the, if not the, best ones out there. Durable hulls and an insane number of options for the prospective owner. I would love if you would be able to do a walkthrough of other Dutch made yachts like the Damen ones or Heesen ones, when I worked at an industrial wholesale company I had the pleasure of working with these (and Van der Valk of course) shipyards. Although given the made to order nature of the yachts I can imagine it is harder to do so than with the assembly line yachts.
With out a doubt the best use of space!!! better than most swank apartments
What an interesting layout. I like the way those windows lean into the accomodation at sea level.
What a beautyful boat. Very modern and fresh colors. Great view, thank you Nick.
Wow Nick amazing variety out there, will have to watch this a few times to appreciate what the different builders are doing. Goodonyah mate and keep them coming. I get the feeling you are being invited on more and more boats because you are the class performer out there, owners are waking up.
Thanks Ben, and yes it's starting to happen :)
@@AQUAHOLIC So it should.
I honestly think this is the best lay-out 66 foot yacht I've seen so far. And it looks great. Cheers Nick.
I applaud the innovative layout. Personally, I'm not sure that the light and airy atrium feel could have better been used for more relaxation space in the cockpit area instead. This layout would be ideal on a bigger boat perhaps. I'm not wishing to sound too harsh as it's all down to style tastes. No doubting it's a nice boat. Maybe you have just spoiled us in your other videos Nick.
There's a hundred footer in the works which follows the same philosophy
Really different layout. I like this yacht a lot! However, having no dining close to the galley must be a pain.
Bear in mind it's owner spec, you could lay this out how you like within reason.
Its like a treehouse on water with the configuration of a soft play centre.
It's odd, I'm not sure it works but I like it -
Come to think of it, as an owner managed boat, if I was onboard for a long while (say as a early retired couple) I think having many areas where i/we could spend time alone and/or together would work well.
It's design allows guests to go off and find themselves in their own space without resulting to hiding away in there cabins -
Epic advantage -
Another great walkthrough. Thank you. This layout is amazing. Love the atrium. The beach club is where I'd spend most of my time. That forward cabin with the windows all around, just stunning. I grew up on an aluminium Marinette; I'd like to retire on an aluminium hull. Thanks, again. Well up to your usual extremely high standard.
I don't think I've been so enamored by a boat before. Excellent video as always, Nick. ❤
Hi Nick. This has an awesome layout. Worth every penny.
Us Dutchies have a long history of building amazing yachts. Proud of this van der Valk aluminum build extraordinary super yacht ✌️✌️✌️
Wow, Denison usually do their own high quality reviews so kudos to them for letting you have this kick at the can. I think there is a market interested in both the Aluminium hull and departure from the same old basic layout. For this you can find an alternate layout / colours at the link to Denison above under the video details. Launch the site, then search "67' Van Der Valk." Seems to come with Volvo Penta Pod drives, guesstimate likely "the" typical range ~ 300 - 400 miles at cruising speed, it's not one of those long range boats which people may associate with Aluminium hulls.
Four tonnes of fuel isn't bad stretched to that range
Nick another great video well done enjoyed as always
Wow, stunning, great layout, and the amount of space was fantastic.. very light and airy .
With the huge back windows, who needs at TV!
+ it's probably possible to have about 5 separate parties with this layout. Fantastic.
I was starting to think onnce you've seen 20 or so superyarcht layouts you've seen them all then along comes this and changes everything! Thanks Nick.
Love this boat. Love the lower salon very unique. I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t show us the engines, or tell us the range.
I really enjoy your tours please keep them coming.
This is now my favourite, that setup in the rear is really really nice.
It was either this or a transit custom camper! Your review helped! Thanks!!!!
What a unique design. Very innovative for the size and layout. Love the atrium/cathedral ceiling.
By far my fave layout to date. Love this
Great individual design. A Marmite Yaght. Whether you like or dislike this layout, it's a clever idea. I'm in two minds, only due to my disability, I'm not a fan, however If I wasn't disabled I'd love it. In truth it's a cool vessel.
Definitely a harbour queen. Everything from the exposed foredeck galley/bar which will take the full brunt of waves crashing over the bow (and may even block visibility from the interior helm), to the very extensive (and admittedly stylish) fenestration in the hull which would be a source of anxiety in a storm, to the engines themselves accessible only from one of the wettest parts of the boat during any sort of weather.
With all that out of the way, it's still very cool. The blonde woods are charming and inviting and the sliding door straight onto the bathing platform has always been something I've liked on the few boats I've seen that feature it. I would definitely have a cabin back there. The heads are a bit unglamorous for my taste, and having both a dayhead and a separate, non-ensuite head for the guest cabins feels a bit redundant.
Nice to see a washer and dryer.
Never heard a Cat A boat called a harbour queen before :)
@@AQUAHOLIC I'm surprised it's Cat A with all that glass.
@@visionist7 Here you go: vandervalkshipyard.com/fleet/alvaro/
Love how different it is but no full height walk around in master, no guest ensuite and stairs everywhere, not sure it is best use of space for the size.
Pretty sure this is designed as a party dayboat. Look at all those entertaining spaces -- that's way more than you would ever need for six people.
Very interesting boat indeed. The lowered salon gives you a nice beach feeling. And I really like the way you do these walk throughs: knowledgeable, inspired, respectful, cultivated - unlike anyone else. Looking forward to your future work!
Thank you 🙂
I think this is my favorite boat that you reviewed. Very different and sleek. I especially like the back. They were really thinking outside the box with this one.
I really love the way you have a choice with the configuration of the inside style of this boat. Another wonderful walk threw Nick thank you only thing I wouldn't have on this boat is that long floor glass up front on the floor once it got wet I would be on y Butt! that is how my luck rolls LOL
I'd install self adhesive 1" emery strips that sailors use on their boats, roughly 4 inches apart. That would fix that problem.
This is a Yacht on top of a Yacht!
I’ve always loved this boat - genius layout and beautiful to boot. If only i had the $$$ to buy one.
Perfect weekender
Nick another BRILLIANT yacht tour. Well done!
Love this 1 ... really modern look and plenty of room
Really cool boat, incredible for 66 ft that Beach club area right off the back is amazing!
They make stunning yachts.
At first I thought I was going to hate it, with a bathing platform measuring about 15 acres. But, that strange cross between a boat and a new york mezzanine style loft apartment kinda sold me.. Brilliant boat, excellent tour. Good work!
Best boat in this channel. Innovative modern gorgeous. Every other one has the same boring layout!
How did I miss this video, Nick?? One of the most intriguing little yachts out there
I refuse to believe that's only 66' long.
It has the interior style 75m+ mega yachts
Out of the 3 to 4 million pound yachts that i have seen,this may be my favorite.Its got some new and,old flavors to it.Its not to gaudy. Its an aluminum hull.Its quietly luxurious,
I absolutely love the fact of this boat being so different, two minor points are the furniture looks a little cheap (like IKEA) I'm sure it's not. The second is the master bedroom roof light is fantastic (especially with those bow windows) but I can't help think it will be an ice skating rink when wet outside 🏂 but I would gladly have one today 😃
I believe you have the best boating show out here but please don't forget the engines or the horsepower and the range for us Gearheads we thrive on that thank you very much may God bless
Nice design (I'm Dutch too....) which translates in a very open layout boat and the fact the hull is aluminium is a big plus too.
However, for the same amount of money (like I have it...) I would go for the Granchi 78 Settantotto.
I just love that boat. The materials, the design, the styling, just excellent.
really only 66ft its massive. I think you out any tenders on the aft deck. Pity you did not get access to the engine part, would have loved to see how they did that.
Yes, the white box as I stepped on is a folding crane I believe.
Hi Patrick, I'm sure #AQUAHOLIC won't mind me listing an inferior tour, but it shows the engine bay open. He also talks about the crane at the end of the video.
th-cam.com/video/yI21GbEHY80/w-d-xo.html
@@IsThisAvailable550 big thanks mate, the tour was not inferior just different but it added some info Nick did not cover and those two make it a very accurate tour combined.
@@AQUAHOLIC can you but my boat on your cannal ple it for sale at portmadog boat sale its a Bella 635 I'll be serviced cheers
This my favourite yacht so far.
Never seen a layout like this but it is gorgeous
An Interesting layout - a few comments:
• We didnt get to see the engines - unusual?
• The glass skylight to the master cabin will cause major headaches when accessing the forward sun deck underway - if wet will be very slippery!
• The forward sundeck’s railing wasn’t carried around the prow - so people will need to be very careful.
• The layout prevents guest cabins from having at least one with en-suite bathroom access.
• The atrium wastes space in favour of style. There could have been an internal extension of the cockpit at that level.
Having said all that - if I was given one I wouldn’t turn it down!! Think though that other manufacturers options are better. Thanks for another great review Nick thank you!
I think the engines are in a box under the rear swimming platform. Which could be interesting. There is another review that covers this.
Hey Nick I noticed recently you have turned into a superstar congratulations my friend you've earned it have a great day and may God bless
What happened to the engine room? 😢😢😢
It was under that aft deck - I wasn't sure how to open it and had limited time. Maybe next time.
Really liked the layout..unusual but works..not sure about the dining area upstairs but still a fantastic looking and styled boat..another top video nick
11 out of 10 for this one
only thing missing the princess logo
I love this layout
Amazing design!
Very nice, like that one a lot. Good to see something a bit different and out of the ordinary. I'd have one!!!
My jaw litteraly dropped when I saw tilted sliding door at the beginning - not once, but twice! Obviously such a generous use of space leads to compromises, but my how it adds to sleekness of the design and lights the interior! I just don't get why whenever there is a boat featuring a lowered beach club on your channel, an avalanche of complaints rant about how they'd miss the view of the sea for a couple of hours a day while being on a week long cruise. Not that most flush bc's are just tender garages adapted for hanging a hammock...
Only weak spot I'd mention is soundproofing. On a ship like that you wouldn't want to have reverberation comparable to that of a fishing boat
This boat is definitely dutch built, they must have been smoking some crazy stuff when designing this lay out! The funny thing is it's got to be one of the best layouts I've ever seen on this channel! Truly amazing👍
This must be one of the most unique and interesting layouts Ive ever seen. Id probably make a few changes if I ever win the lottery and order one brand new, but the pure amount of space available is just astonishing. From the name I guess it is a 66-foot boat, seems more like a 86 inside.
The only things Im a bit sceptic of is how those rear glass doors hold up if you get caught in a heavy following sea and it breaks across that huge bathing platform and the apparent complete lack of engine accessibility in anything but relatively calm seas. Or is it possible to access the enginespaces from within the boat?
Great tour nick, hopefully doing that boat next to it 'Horizon' as that looks as intriguing as this one.
Idk about this one.. I mean it's still a lovely boat but, imo, the "standard" layout is more confy and classy. Nevertheless I apprecciate the tour as always Nick! Keep it up
I think they choose this layout cause the saloon can now be the full width of the beam.
Would not want to have to access the engines in rough seas...
Would love to see you tour the Hardy 65.
Do you really think the owner-operator of this boat is going to be doing any engine work in rough seas? (Or even dead calm seas, for that matter...)
Not likely...but if you had to access them or anything else in the compartment while underway could prove interesting.
@@bbear695 That's what your Sea-Tow insurance is for!
Nick, now that is one unique piece of kit. I just love it ! I would be up on the flybridge driving this all day long.
Nice boat! Interior has an IKEA-like look...
Absolutely love this boat, I have spent the last hour online checking out this company and their boats. Nick, thank you for bringing this to us, I have finally found my boat. It's been a 3 year search for the perfect boat. I will be calling tomorrow to get an apt to start the process of ordering a boat. Nick, thanks you again.
Did you get one??
Definitely one for the sunshine. In our climate probably less outside space and more under cover. No sign of me having to make this decision yet though!
You seem happy today!
I'm always happy..! :D
That is a truly different design
I quite like it
Unique vessel, personally, I like it.
Wow that layout was impressive
This boat is stunning, it definitely needs the hot tub though!
Love your reviews.........this is the one I'm going to buy. So different from all the rest and aluminium hull too. Just need another 3399999 euros!
Whow,Nick. :) :) :)
The Dutch people not only have lovely fields with tulips,windmills and edam chees, they also have great knowledge in building super nice boats also,lovely presented by you. I was a little bit worried over the fact that there where no “fence” in the bow of the boat??
And what was that big white thing on the side of the “beach area” to the left, when you entering the boat Nick.
PS.When the day come,for you to put your camera on the “shelf” your new career should be that of a teacher teaching other photographers,howe they should make a smooth and pleasant presentation of whatever they want to show for there viewers. That is my humble opinion,only :) :) :)
Pretty sure that the white thing is a folding crane for lifting a tender on to the bathing platform. Thanks for the kind words!
I love this. There seems a lot of socialising space, 3 decks, for a maximum of 6 guests though.
Unique, for sure ! Beautiful
Super interesting boat. I'd love to see more of this boat, or more from this boat builder. Hope you can find another one of these to tour soon!
I absolutely was impressed by this boat’s innovative design. I couldn’t get to the Van der Valk’s website fast enough. Even though I still love the Sunseeker 131, this boat was a revelation. Thanks for the introduction!
I think thi is my favorite so far, the master' cabin isn't huge like some but the windows, view and placement are just superb. top-tier yacht for it's price range.and the layout is something different, so many high-end yachts have the same layout with different trim, especially the saloon area with the galley behind a door on the left....
How did I miss this?
What a great layout really impressed with this boat....
