Dutch shipyard, Wim van der Valk, has started construction on the first all-aluminium 24-metre semi-custom motor yacht Continental Trawler 2395M, with delivery scheduled for Spring 2016. The 2395 Flybridge superyacht model represents the first of an amazing new series of semi-custom trawler-style yachts, superbly penned by Guido de Groot. The vessel is being constructed on spec and is available for sale.

Designed to be a contemporary go-anywhere yacht, the Continental Trawler 2395’s round-bilged hull and semi-displacement capabilities will allow maximum fuel efficiency. This, together with the large fuel tank and light aluminium construction, will enable it to achieve a very long range, making it ideal for the client looking to explore the world in comfort and style. Powered by twin V8 MAN 1200HP engines, she will be capable of reaching a maximum speed of 18 knots. As the base engine system has been designed to accommodate a wide range of systems and brands, at this stage of construction there is still the option for potential owners to make their own choice of size and make of engines, gearbox and stablisers, dependent on the range and speed required.

Boasting a large volume, the 2395’s interior is both practical and sophisticated. “The Trawler 2395 Flybridge has been designed from the inside out,” said Guido de Groot. “She combines a large interior volume within a hull length of 24 metres in a stylish and modern no nonsense look, as you would expect from a go anywhere yacht.”
