Cruising super-yacht 34M

explorerwheelhouse5-cabin

Take a good look at this 34-metre launch model for a new custom-series called Pilot. Designed by Cor D. Rover, this contemporary explorer has an exceptional 295 GT volume for a 34-metre yacht. The client for this bespoke build extended the length to maximise interior space and create something unique in her size. Blending robust and masculine proportions with an abundance of curves, this three-deck superyacht has a self-contained pilothouse and raked bridge windows reminiscent of a commercial vessel. Together with the car-inspired air grills, this first Pilot is a tribute to the skill of Van der Valk’s aluminium shapers and welders. Large windows and a glass ‘eye’ on the bridge deck are united with partitions and black-painted superstructure surfaces that look like glass. The rest of the livery is in a castle tan and stark white palette chosen by the owner. Our talented exterior paint crew ensured perfect straight lines on a perfect curved shape on the first vessel we’ve delivered under ABS rules. Note too the large balconies for the main deck master and lower deck VIP. The aft platform also has two 7 x 1.5-metre foldout balconies that double the area close to the water. A transformer platform and full aft lazarette for a Williams tender and three-person wave runner will boost the watersport fun. As the video below shows, this custom Pilot offers an abundance of outside deck space. The aft deck features a large dining table and circular seating, each easily accommodating ten people. A large wet bar with BBQ is located on the bridge deck aft, with sacrificial air conditioning installed for use in the hottest climates.
