A $650,000 price drop has been announced on the 28.5-metre Van der Valk explorer yacht Blondie, listed for sale with Splinter Fangman of Edmiston, ahead of her attendance at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show next week.
Launched in 2020, she is the third in the shipyard’s new generation of long-range explorers. Her design is a modern take on a trawler, which was developed in collaboration with Guido de Groot Design, Diana Yacht Design and Ginton Naval Architects.
Stepping on board, her main saloon is laid out in an open-plan configuration with comfortable white soft furnishings for lounging with friends. Forward, in the same space, is a dining area that seats all 10 guests, flanked by large windows to let in natural light.
The yacht has a five-cabin layout with accommodation for up to 10 guests, including a main-deck full-beam owner’s suite. Below deck, she has two VIP doubles and two twin cabins, all equipped with en-suites. Meanwhile, to aft, crew quarters can sleep a team of four.
Among her key features is a sundeck dedicated entirely to leisure. Guests can relax around a large dining table on the port side or sprawl out on the L-shaped settee while enjoying a drink from the adjacent bar. Aft is a pool flanked by sunbeds, with more deck space in front for lounging in the sun.
The beach club below offers a sanctuary for guests, with a sauna as well as a seating area next to the swim platform for easy access to the sea.
Power for the yacht for sale comes from a pair of 1,650hp MAN V12 diesel engines for a top speed of 20 knots and a cruising speed of 17 knots.
Blondie is asking $10,250,000.
