About Van der Valk Explorer 37M
Delivered new in 2025 rather than arriving with years of use behind her, the Van der Valk Explorer 37M is a stock yacht built by Van der Valk. Guido de Groot drew both her exterior lines and her interior, a single hand across the whole design. At 37 metres she lies in the Netherlands, offered new rather than as a resale.
Build and provenance
Van der Valk built her as a stock yacht, so she arrives without a refit or a prior ownership history to account for. Her hull runs 37 metres overall with a beam of 7.8 metres and a draft of 2.3 metres, a profile built for range as much as speed. Guido de Groot's design carries through both the exterior styling and the interior, so the two read as one composition rather than two separate commissions.
Layout and accommodation
Four cabins sleep eight guests, and a crew of six runs the yacht: a crew count that keeps service close without crowding the guest spaces. On a stock explorer like this one, that balance matters most on longer trips, when the crew is working the boat every day rather than for a single weekend.
Performance and engineering
Two Volvo Penta D16 diesel engines give her an 11.2-knot cruise and a 14.6-knot top speed. Those are steady, distance-covering figures rather than sprint numbers, in keeping with an explorer built to hold a pace for hours, not minutes.
Where she lies and how to see her
The Van der Valk Explorer 37M lies in the Netherlands. Boatcrowd arranges a viewing and is there for it, and once an offer is accepted we set up the survey and the sea trial that follow before handover.

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.
