Description

The Wim van der Valk Continental 1700 is a spacious and solidly built steel motor yacht from 1997, designed and built by Wim van der Valk Jachten in Waalwijk. With her length of 18 meters, classic lines, and robust appearance, this vessel is well-suited for a comfortable stay on board, longer voyages, and sailing with multiple people.

The blue steel hull, white superstructure, and timeless design give the yacht a recognizable and traditional appearance. The chine hull, continuous keel, and twin rudders contribute to stable handling, while the outside steering position under the cockpit tent ensures a comfortable helm position with a good overview. The ship is practically laid out all around, featuring wide side decks, a full teak deck, an integrated swimming platform, and a sheltered aft deck with a new blue cockpit tent from 2026.

On board, the spacious and bright layout immediately stands out. The saloon forms the central living area and features large windows all around, allowing plenty of natural light to enter and providing a good view of the outside. The classic cherry wood interior combined with dark blue leather upholstery creates a warm and tranquil atmosphere. The layout is practically designed for both daily use and extended stays on board.

The ship features four cabins and six fixed berths. Located aft is the spacious owner's cabin with a freestanding double bed and plenty of privacy. Several guest accommodations are situated forward, including a second double cabin and additional single cabins. With two complete bathrooms, both equipped with an electric toilet and separate shower cubicle, the yacht offers great comfort for both owner and guests.

The galley is equipped for extended stays on board, including a Miele electric hob, Miele microwave, fridge with freezer compartment, and additional cooling space outside under the cockpit tent. Amenities such as central heating via a Kabola system, a washer-dryer combination, and a central vacuum system also contribute to practical comfort on board.

Propulsion is provided by two Vetus Deutz DT67 diesel engines of 231 hp each, coupled to propeller shafts. In combination with bow and stern thrusters, the vessel is highly maneuverable. Additionally, the yacht features ample fuel and water tank capacity, a generator, inverter, battery charger, and various navigation equipment.

A pre-survey has been conducted for this vessel, ensuring that a technical overview of the yacht is available in advance. This makes the presentation transparent and provides interested parties with a clearer starting point for further viewing or purchase orientation.

In short, this Wim van der Valk Continental 1700 is a spacious motor yacht with plenty of living space, a classic appearance, and a layout that is well-suited for a comfortable stay on board with family or guests.

The Purchase Process: How Does It Work?

If you are working with a yacht broker for the first time, it’s helpful to understand how the purchase process works and what you can expect from us.
1

Orientation and Making an Offer

Do you have a yacht in mind? You can schedule a viewing without obligation to determine if the yacht meets your expectations. A technical inspection is not necessary at this stage. 

Based on your impression, you can make an offer. We act as an intermediary and negotiate on your behalf with the yacht's owner.
2

Price Agreement and Purchase Agreement

Once we have agreed on the price, we will draw up a purchase agreement. This usually includes a clause making the purchase subject to a survey by an expert. 

When signing the agreement, we request a 10% deposit. This amount will be held in a secure third-party escrow account.

3

Survey and Finalization

An expert will carry out a comprehensive survey of the yacht. If any issues are found, the seller will resolve them or compensation will be offered if you prefer to handle the repairs yourself. 

If the issues are too significant, you can cancel the purchase.
4

Final Payment and Delivery

Once the issues are resolved and you are satisfied, you pay the remaining 90%. This amount will also be securely held in the third-party escrow account. Once you confirm that the yacht meets your expectations, you will sign the delivery document. 

Only then will the funds be released to the seller, and we will schedule the official handover.
5

Handover and Transfer

Together, we will carefully review all documentation so you know exactly what you are purchasing. We will also inspect the yacht to ensure all issues have been addressed. Of course, we will provide you with explanations on the onboard equipment and key systems. 

Once everything is clear and meets your satisfaction, we will officially hand over the keys and your new boating adventure can begin.
