The Dutch shipyard <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 released the first details on the 32-metre superyacht Jangada 2, which will be the largest yacht in the yard’s custom-series line to date. Featuring a raised pilothouse, the experienced owner and repeat client of the yard placed the order at the end of 2017 and is expecting delivery during the month of May 2019. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/61014/image/large-dc3f33112ede4cfb658d6b30d8898512.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/61014">Designed in partnership with Nick Top and <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>, Jangada 2&nbsp;has a wide range of bespoke elements to match the owner’s specific brief. Features include an outdoor dining area, smart wet bar and sunbathing space on the flybridge deck, as well as space for a tender, toys and a crane. The lazarette aft will have the capacity for two wave runners and double as a beach with a hydraulic platform.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/61034/image/large-711bb89173a51b12cb24559fbb0786ca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/61034">Up to eight guests can be accommodated for onboard across four well-equipped staterooms including a main-deck VIP suite with en-suite bathroom and full-beam master suite and two additional cabins both located on the lower-deck. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/61035/image/large-8f0fb19b46300dcb96e6e7e46cb5ccb1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/61035">The four previous models of the series include the 27.21-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5919" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The Next Episode26.0m (85'4&quot;)Van der Valk Shipyard2014">The Next Episode</a> (2014), the 24.99-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5594" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Jangada24.99m (81'12&quot;)Van der Valk Shipyard2015">Jangada</a> (2015), the 26-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7247" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Forum27.6m (90'7&quot;)Van der Valk Shipyard2016">Forum</a> (2017) and the 26-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7490" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nicostasia 26.0m (85'4&quot;)Van der Valk Shipyard2018">Nicostasia</a> (2018). “The different lengths of these all-aluminium beauties reflect the wide degree of choice which our Raised Pilothouse design offers owners,” says <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> marketing manager Yoeri Bijker. &nbsp;“This is enhanced by the fact that the yachts are built entirely in-house to the highest Dutch standards. Clients can go as large as 40-metres with this model or any other design in our state-of-the-art facilities. With our new Van der Valk BeachClub range also making waves in the market, the first of which will be launched in spring 2019, our yard is entering an exciting new phase of growth,”&nbsp;concluded Yoeri Bijker.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/61019/image/large-84734451b592880165c79a8df6911695.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/61019">“It was a real pleasure to work with such an experienced owner and create a very functional GA that meets his specific requirements. The yacht will carry more crew than their previous boats so together with the captain we paid significant attention to these accommodations. Lots of work also went into the spacious galley as we optimised the functional area under the raised pilothouse,” commented designer <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>Guido de Groot added:&nbsp;“In a similar vein, the bathroom of the VIP suite on the main deck can be closed off for use by guests during the day after swimming and the like without entering the bedroom itself. This kind of smart thinking typifies the genuinely bespoke nature of the project, which is an impressive achievement by the yard. &nbsp;The owner visited several other top builders before electing for Van der Valk and no other yard could offer him such a tailor-made creation.”&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/61025/image/large-cadfc4cc593a35aa75c9d2288364f818.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/61025">With fuel efficiency in mind, the hull of Jangada 2 features a bulbous bow and is fitted with a Van Oossanen Hull Vane fixed foil.
