Van der Valk Explorer 21M

Aluminium is the material choice that defines how the Van der Valk Explorer 21M is built. The yard completed her in 2025 in the Netherlands, and her two engines are sized for distance rather than a sprint. She was drawn to cruise with comfort as the priority, with the range to cover real passages, not just day trips between nearby anchorages.

Build and provenance

She is a monohull worked in aluminium, new from the yard with no history yet to disclose. Measuring 21 metres, or 69 feet, with a beam of six metres, she sits on a platform sized for practical seaworthiness rather than luxury tonnage.

Layout and accommodation

Three cabins sleep six guests. The accommodation is set up for practical use rather than as a showpiece: a layout built for a yacht that is meant to go somewhere, not just be admired at the dock. Storage is ample, and the galley has been arranged for provisioning long passages.

Performance and engineering

Two MAN engines, each rated at 500 hp, power her. The engineering is straightforward diesel propulsion: proven, maintainable, and sized to a steady cruising pace rather than a sprint between anchorages.

Where she lies and how to see her

The Van der Valk Explorer 21M lies in the Netherlands. Viewings are ours to arrange and we are there for every one, and once an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before anything else moves.
