Established in 1967, Van der Valk Shipyard builds custom and semi-custom motor yachts from both steel and aluminium. Situated in Waalwijk, The Netherlands, this family-owned yard continues to operate under the active leadership of its founder, Wim van der Valk.

Over the decades, the company has secured a strong global reputation by catering specifically to owners who want to avoid production-line products and instead seek a deeply personalized experience.

The yard focuses on the 25 to 45-metre size range, offering a boutique alternative to larger mass-production builders. While Van der Valk Shipyard utilizes proven engineering platforms for its semi-custom series, the layout, interior arrangements, and overall styling are entirely tailored to meet the individual requirements and creative input of the client.

Every custom-built yacht leaving the Waalwijk facilities combines high performance with top-tier Dutch engineering. The construction process relies on a dedicated workforce and purpose-built infrastructure designed to accommodate owners who wish to be thoroughly involved in the creative development of a unique luxury yacht.
