Van der Valk has announced the delivery of the fourth yacht in its Raised Pilothouse semi-custom range: Motor yacht NICOSTASIA.
Aft deck
The 26m/85ft luxury yacht was built for experienced Owners who had previously bought a model from the shipyard and wanted a newer and larger vessel. The interiors and exteriors were styled by Guido De Groot, featuring a stylish metallic grey hull combining classic styling with a modern raked bow for enhanced performance.
Running
The main deck cockpit is fitted with a sofa and additional chairs surround a raised table for alfresco dining and outdoor living in the shade. A port staircase leads to the flybridge, where the tenders and motorised water toys are stored along the aft and the central section beneath the hardtop contains a C-shaped sofa with tables for alfresco dining and drinks, and forward there are two sunpads either side of the helm station. Additional sunbathing space can be found on the foredeck where sunpads cover the section in front of the raised pilothouse.
Salon
The main salon and combined dining area uses whitewashed oak panelling, pale furnishings and accents in neutral tones for a bright and clean appearance. An L-shaped sofa positioned by the port windows receives excellent lighting and views, while leaving ample room to access the breakfast bar/galley surrounded by stools farther forward.
Master stateroom
Owner’s bathroom
On the lower deck the Master suite takes advantage of the full beam amidships, while the VIP stateroom is placed in the bow and between them a double cabin and bunk cabin for children, all with en-suite facilities.
The customisation options for the Raised Pilothouse range from Van Der Valk allow each owner to choose their interior layout, with some opting to place the Master suite on the main deck forward while others prefer the crew area to take this space.
Using a pair of 1,502 HP MTU 10V 2000 M93 engines, she can reach a top speed of 25 knots for reduced time between destinations while cruising such locations as the Mediterranean or Caribbean.
