ONE: Van der Valk’s 34m Custom Superyacht Sold and Bound for the Mediterranean

Van der Valk Shipyard has confirmed the successful sale of its 34.13‑metre custom superyacht ONE, which this spring will relocate to the Mediterranean under new ownership. The transaction was finalised with the assistance of Jorge Saca Bahaia of Maspor Marine International, who introduced the buyer.

Design, craft and character

ONE is the product of a deliberate collaboration between exterior designer Guido de Groot and interior designer Carla Guilhem. De Groot’s exterior work gives the yacht a resolute silhouette: clean, forward‑thrusting lines with the aft fashion plates rising to meet the hardtop in a continuous sweep. Guilhem’s interiors aim to balance beauty with livability, producing a comfortable environment intended for extended cruising and entertaining.

Built on the proven hull architecture of MY Lady Lene, the aluminium superyacht spans four decks and registers 295 gross tonnes of volume. Propulsion is provided by twin Volvo Penta D16‑MH engines, each rated at 750 hp, which deliver a top speed of 14.3 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 13 knots.

Entertaining and onboard amenities

ONE was conceived with social cruising in mind. A fold‑out hydraulic beach club platform expands the yacht’s connection to the water, while a well‑appointed lazarette has been prepared for a full complement of water‑sports and wellness equipment. The layout and fitout emphasise convivial decks, ease of access to the sea and practical storage—features that speak to both owner use and guest comfort.

First season in the Mediterranean

The Mediterranean will serve as ONE’s inaugural cruising ground—an apt choice for a yacht built for leisurely passages, long lunches at anchor and warm evenings on deck. The buyers intend to explore classic cruising grounds from the Balearics to the Amalfi Coast, taking advantage of the conditions and ports that best suit this type of displacement aluminium superyacht.

Industry context

Sales of bespoke yachts such as ONE underline a continued appetite among owners for custom, well‑crafted aluminium builds that combine practical seakeeping with refined styling. The collaboration between a noted exterior designer and a dedicated interior stylist, along with a yard capable of producing substantial volume in a 34‑metre package, highlights the value owners place on distinctive design and tailored onboard living. For builders and brokers, the Mediterranean remains the natural debut stage for new luxury yachts, offering varied anchorages and high visibility among the owner community.
