About Van der Valk Explorer 27M
A yacht delivered new carries no ownership history to weigh, just the yard's own record of building her. The Van Der Valk Explorer 27M left the builder's Dutch yard in 2025 as a stock new build, not a resale with history behind it. Van der Valk shaped her as a monohull, a hull built for distance rather than outright speed.
Build and provenance
She has no refit to record because there is nothing yet to refit: her build year is 2025, and a survey on the Van Der Valk Explorer 27M reads as a delivery inspection rather than a history of repairs. Built, she measures 27 metres, 89 feet, with a beam of 6.6 metres and a draught of 1.7 metres. Her monohull is chosen for efficient long-range running rather than for planing speed.
Layout and accommodation
Four cabins sleep eight guests, and a crew of three run the boat: enough hands for a family group or a couple of couples cruising together, without the scale of crew a much larger yacht would carry.
Performance and engineering
Two 385 hp CAT C12 ACERT engines give her an eleven-knot cruise and 12.8 knots at full throttle, modest figures that back a range-led hull rather than compete with it. A generous fuel capacity, paired with the light aluminium build, is aimed at owners who want to cover distance in comfort rather than arrive quickly.
Where she lies and how to see her
She lies in the Netherlands, close to the yard that built her. We put viewings on the calendar and come along for each one, and once a buyer's offer is accepted, survey and sea trial 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 24 to 30 m costs to run.
