Dutch shipyard Van der Valk has delivered the 33m/108ft luxury yacht BLUE JEANS to her Owners, and with her completion, the shipyard has revealed the exquisite interiors which have made her such a show-stopping sensation.
motor yacht BLUE JEANS
M/Y BLUE JEANS comes hot on the heels of the shipyard’s award-winning superyacht LADY LENE (which was on show at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2022 in September) and true to her name, she sports a denim blue hull and a matching matte superstructure in metallic silver for a bespoke appearance that hints at the unique social areas to be found on board.
exterior decks
The interiors for M/Y BLUE JEANS are the most intricate project that Van der Valk has taken on to date. Designed by Guido de Groot, the interiors combine a multitude of natural materials into one cohesive design: Varieties of marble, wood, and metal surround the bespoke furniture in light and harmonious surroundings influenced by Northern European and Asian styles.
saloon
Metal – copper in particular – was an integral part of the furnishings, light fixtures and accents to be found inside and out. Its use was not without challenges, however, as the metal corrodes in a maritime environment. To address this, a clear coat of paint provided protection without diminishing its characteristic patina.
One of the key features the Owners set in the brief was a ceiling height of no less than 2.5m/8.2ft in the main salon. The rest of the main deck has received the same treatment, resulting in a raised bow that is matched in proportion by a tall flybridge.
dining saloon
The arrangement dedicates the main deck to group socialising, with the formal dining area forward, the galley amidships and the main salon behind.
All of the guest accommodation is therefore placed on the lower deck and consists of a Master suite, 2 VIP staterooms and 1 twin cabin to sleep a total of 8, plus a crew of 4 in the bow.
aft view
The interior styling and complementary technology for reduced noise, vibrations and overall comfort will secure M/Y BLUE JEANS a reputation as an outstanding vessel in her size class, and set the standard for future interior yacht designs at the Van der Valk shipyard and beyond.
