Santa Maria T represents the first of the new generation trawler designs by Van der Valk and Guido de Groot Design. Both her exterior and interior were fully customised to the client’s wishes. Entering the aft deck from the winding staircase immediately makes it clear one is entering a proper superyacht.
Santa Maria T’s aft deck is spacious and contains an eight-person seating area with table as well as a small pantry with sink and refrigerator. A four-way foldable stainless steel door links the aft deck with the main saloon. Embodying a striking art-nouveau interior style, this area is characterised by detailing that is nothing short of thrilling. The mahogany woodwork is enhanced with Pacific madrona burl inlays, solid herringbone floorings, embossed alcantara panelling on walls and ceilings, indirect lighting, and perfectly matching artwork.
Santa Maria T boasts a considerable engine room. The two Volvo Penta D16 MH 651 hp engines can be walked around. The D16 engines come with a rating 1 continuous duty certificate, meaning they can perform 24/7 without a single stop/reduction. Santa Maria T is the first yacht in the world delivered with an all-new two-axis fin antiroll damping system that provides stabilization both underway and at zero speed without compromising performance in either circumstance.
