The choice to have a chase boat rather than an onboard tender freed up space in the aft area for a fold-out platform and a lovely lazarette entertainment area with room to store jet-skis and a gym,” De Groot added.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287126/image/large-cc136b36471bc6c8dd68774c5bb6be85.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287126"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/287128/image/large-df9f6b10158c1ab5cb4a56efff59ceb8.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/287128">This collaborative creation is currently beginning to manifest at the <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> yard, and is expected to be delivered to her owner in the third quarter of this year. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/308327/image/large-ca88b5c9f1eb1be987c1541486eb37dd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/308327">
