Netherlands-based yacht builder <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2948" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van der Valk Shipyard (Company)">Van der Valk</a> has announced two new orders for a 34-metre yacht, Project 111.11 and a 35.29-metre yacht, Project Samba. The two new projects are based on the hull design of the multi-award winning yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10158" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="LL34.0m (111'7&quot;)Van der Valk Shipyard2021">Lady Lene</a> and are being custom-designed to meet the needs of the clients. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272384/image/large-3f79af43b9989549f108404a8d5cf2f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272384">Both Project 111.11 and Project Samba will share the same naval architecture and degree of finish and will each feature a different exterior design from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/234" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Guido de Groot Design (Company)">Guido de Groot</a>.

It’s a lifestyle choice and they enjoy the process of developing their perfect yacht as much as they do the ultimate end result.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272374/image/large-b0499096416fbff7deba8cff0e21906d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272374">Project 111.11 showcases expansive windows and an arch rising diagonally from the main deck to the hard top, in a single straight line. The explorer yacht features an asymmetrical semi-full-beam skylounge and a sidewalk from the bridge to aft deck to avoid crew going through the lounge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272375/image/large-5054ab223a1708f935a8b1efe955df97.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272375">Her full-beam master suite is situated on the main deck and includes a large walk-in wardrobe with a chute that leads directly to the laundry station on the lower deck. Further guest accommodations onboard Project 111.11 include two large VIP suites and two twins on the lower deck, all with ensuite bathrooms.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272373/image/large-0a723fa5f5fdebd848006b13cb7e8361.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272373">Project Samba is characterised by her large aft deck, which includes a relaxation area with a large aft-facing sofa and a formal alfresco dining table. Her central staircase with a single large column from the lower to bridge deck also serves as a piece of art and optimises freedom of movement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272383/image/large-41426e105b5224f565132e67249fe5c8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272383">Like Project 111.11, Project Samba features a full-beam master suite on the main deck, with two VIP suites and two spacious twins on the lower deck.

In contrast, Project Samba’s fast displacement hull and twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> 1450 horsepower diesel engines will ensure top speeds around the 17 knot mark.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272376/image/large-b3991fe8b271d0adac814c64856000fb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272376">“Using the engineering packages and part of the cutting files generates significant cost synergies yet allows for an entirely different look and feel. It’s a highly efficient way of building that provides clients with exceptional freedom to customise their yacht above the waterline. Everything you see on the renderings for Project 111.11 and Project Samba has been chosen by the owners as they implement their own style and make a statement of personal taste,” concluded Yoeri Bijker.
