About Van der Valk Explorer 25M
A 2025 build date is the whole of the history behind this yacht so far. There is no refit to weigh and no prior owner's habits to account for, only a stock build straight from the yard. For a buyer that single fact is the provenance: everything about Van der Valk Explorer 25M is exactly as delivered.
Build and provenance
She is built at Van der Valk, where the Explorer line is produced to a stock specification rather than to individual order. She is a monohull motor yacht, twenty-five metres in length, eighty-two feet by the American measure, with a beam of 6.8 metres and a draft of 1.8 metres that keeps shallower anchorages open to her.
Layout and accommodation
Eight guests are accommodated in four cabins, with a crew of three living and working separately from the guest spaces. Three crew for eight guests is closer to one crew member per two to three guests than a self-managed operation offers, and it points to a yacht meant to be run for her owner rather than handled alone.
Performance and engineering
Power comes from two CAT C12 ACERT engines at 390 hp apiece, tuned for a cruising speed of 11 knots and a top speed of 12.8 knots. Those are displacement numbers rather than planing ones: an explorer built to cover distance steadily, with the sea manners a coastal or offshore passage calls for rather than a fast afternoon run.
Where she lies and how to see her
She lies in the Netherlands. Boatcrowd sets up any viewing and comes to it with you, and once an offer on Van der Valk Explorer 25M is accepted, a survey and a sea trial follow before the sale completes.

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 24 to 30 m costs to run.
