About Van der Valk Explorer 34,5M
Built for spending real time on the water rather than just crossing it: the Explorer 34,5M is what Van der Valk calls a bespoke design, made for life on and close to the sea. She was delivered new in 2025, and Carla Guilhem designed her interior to match that idea of a boat meant to be lived aboard.
Build and provenance
Van der Valk delivered the Explorer 34,5M in 2025 as a stock yacht, built new rather than resold. She measures 35 metres overall with a beam of 8 metres and a draft of 1.8 metres. Carla Guilhem designed her interior, described in the listing as bespoke and built around comfortable time spent aboard.
Layout and accommodation
Four cabins sleep eight guests, and a crew of seven looks after them, a count that suits days spent exploring rather than sitting at a marina berth. That crew-to-guest balance keeps the boat running while the owner's party is out on deck or ashore.
Performance and engineering
Two MAN V12-1650 engines, rated at 1,650 hp and 1,213 kW, turn at 2.300 rpm and give her a 14-knot cruise with 18 knots available. That is power held in reserve above her cruising speed, useful when a faster passage is wanted.
Where she lies and how to see her
The Van der Valk Explorer 34,5M lies in the Netherlands. We arrange the viewing and stand alongside you for it, then coordinate the survey and sea trial once an offer is accepted.

Buying Costs
- Survey
- A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
- Registration and flag
- She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
- VAT and import
- Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
- Running costs
- Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.
Estimated running costs for a yacht of her size are set out on the size page: What a yacht of 30 to 40 m costs to run.
