Following her maiden voyage to London in November, Van der Valk has offered a look inside its custom 33.7 metre motor yacht Blue Jeans.

Designed inside and out by Guido De Groot, the all-aluminium yacht is tailored towards "kicking back and relaxing" with friends and family and is billed as the most complex all-custom project to date by the Dutch shipyard.

The interior styling follows a warm, yet contemporary theme, with blonde woods, discreet lighting and rich textures throughout. Alongside white Carrara marble, the design team has used liquid metal, copper and Lapis Blue marble.

The yacht also places increased focus on creating a light and airy feeling, which is achieved via higher-than-average ceilings, with a clearance of up to 2.5 metres in the main saloon area.

Large windows feature throughout

The main saloon is home to a bar, three separate seating areas with a dining area forward, concealed by a bulkhead with a cinema-style TV screen. The dining area is home to a capstan table that can double in size to accommodate a large party of guests and there is a small galley area attached.

Accommodation for eight guests is split between an owner’s suite, two VIP cabins and a twin cabin. Further cabins can sleep a crew of four.

Elsewhere, the yacht features a circular sofa area on the sundeck with a central firepit and hidden drinks storage, which is accompanied by a retractable diving board integrated into the port bulwark. Blue Jeans is also home to a foredeck "chillout lounge" with sun pads tucked into the bow, a U-shaped sofa and a dining table that pops up from the deck.

Blue Jeans features a large garage for a Carbon Craft CC130 turbojet tender, which is launched by a hydraulic swim platform. Power comes from two 2600hp engines for a top speed of 28 knots.

"Building a bespoke boat for clients who know exactly what they desire is a pleasure and a privilege".

"Building a bespoke boat for clients who know exactly what they desire is a pleasure and a privilege," a representative of the yard said. "It's exactly the kind of challenge we love to take on."

Van der Valk currently has the 34 metre WV0144 on order, and the Dutch shipyard recently delivered the 24 metre Dutch Falcon.
