Dutch builder Van der Valk has launched the first unit out of its BeachClub 600 range in the Netherlands, after years of development and months of construction. The semi-custom 19.05-metre yacht will now undergo sea trials before appearing at several "major" boat shows this summer.
The BeachClub 600 offers spacious leisure zones both inside and outside. The unique feature applied to the vessel is an engine room placed within the swimming platform. Van der Valk clients will reward from this solution, developed in partnership with two stars of the Dutch yachting world, Ginton Naval Architects and designer Cor D. Rover.
The boat’s design offers vast spaces on the lower deck, with three outdoor zones: the 14 m² beach deck with sun lounge, a 17 m² cockpit deck with outside steering and a generous 25 m² foredeck. Glass inserts in the hull add further class to the yacht’s elegant exterior.
Ample space of The BeachClub 600 is dedicated to indoor luxury. It encompasses an upper salon with helm and panoramic views, a lower deck lounge with galley & dinette (linked to the beach club through glass doors), and three suites, including a master with panoramic views.
The model will be available in four interior styles created by Cor D Rover called Ibiza, Sardegna, Mallorca and Corse. As an alternative, customers can create an interior of their own choosing.
Propelled by twin Volvo Penta IPS-950 engines, The BeachClub 600 features a top speed of 25 knots.
Two other BeachClub units are currently under construction in a 20.5-metre 660 model. First of all, those models will feature higher top speed of 30 knots, thanks to two Volvo Penta IPS-1050. The first unit will be delivered to her owners in summer 2019, while the second will be available in spring 2020.
