GYRFALCON - VAN DER VALK FOR SALE

Van der Valk Shipyard is an acclaimed Dutch builder based in Waalwijk, about an hour south of Amsterdam. This boutique yard creates fully bespoke, ultra‑premium luxury motor yachts for the most discerning owners, blending meticulous design, craftsmanship, and engineering. Their superyacht‑grade builds are among the finest afloat, and it’s uncommon to find a yacht of this caliber—especially in this size class—available in U.S. waters.

GyrFalcon has had only two owners since her 2016 launch, following a custom commission in 2013. The current owners acquired her in 2019 and returned to the Van der Valk facility for significant upgrades, including new zero‑speed fin stabilizers and a redesigned flybridge that serves as the ultimate open‑air entertainment deck. With a custom bar and seamless single‑level layout, this flybridge motor yacht is perfect for hosting gatherings. The spacious aft deck features generous seating with sweeping views and a substantial alfresco dining area. Forward, a beautifully arranged bow lounge offers a more intimate retreat—an ideal setting to unwind and watch the sun slip below the horizon. Guest accommodations are superb, complemented by an excellent crew area. Conceived as an off‑grid explorer, this bluewater cruising yacht provides generous staterooms and the comfort needed for extended voyages.

Lovingly maintained and continuously upgraded, she now awaits her next fortunate owner to continue her story. All systems are current and she is fully cruise‑ready. The only question is, where will you take her next? Please allow 24 hours’ notice for showings.

Outside, a full top‑quality aluminum hull and superstructure in certified AlMg4.5Mn (H321/H111) wears a high‑grade two‑component Alexseal paint system, professionally repainted in 2020. Teak flows a luxurious 15 mm thick across decks, stairs, swim platform, and flybridge. The foredeck is a private Portuguese‑bridge lounge with sofa, table, and sunpad. Stainless steel (316) detailing abounds: half‑round hull strakes; exhaust surrounds; an oval, luxury‑profile railing; capping on bulwarks; signature design features aft on both quarters; and robust handrails. Mooring hardware is equally substantial with eight 316 bollards (arranged four by two fore and aft) plus three by two midship clamps, two additional 316 bollards on the swim platform, and a 316 side stepladder that doubles as a swim ladder. Fender storage is integrated into the superstructure. The flybridge has been redesigned with new seating and a convivial wet bar beneath an electric/hydraulic wing‑design mast. Wheelhouse doors combine stainless steel and teak with double‑glazed security glass, while all windows are grey‑tinted, double‑glazed, and hardened. 316 portholes include fly‑screens. Access to the swim platform is secured by aluminum doors, with teak steps on all exterior stairs inlaid with LED lighting. Teak tables set the scene for alfresco dining. Exterior upholstery, including fillers and covers, was renewed in 2020, and a large automatic entrance/service hatch on the swim platform leads to the engine room.

Inside, the entire ship is thermally insulated with Rockwool. The interior is 100% custom‑built to client specification—choice of woods and joinery style, fully spray‑painted finishes, and a high‑quality solid timber framework—paired with luxury soft furnishings. Practicality is woven in with planned escape routes, complete bathrooms per cabin (bath/shower, washbasin, storage per the owner’s wishes), and stainless steel (316) handrails where desired.

The flybridge invites open‑air living with helm seats, generous sofas, a teak table, a full bar with refrigerator and washbasin, and an electric grill; the windscreen is framed in 316 stainless steel, sound is powered by a 2020 JL Audio system, and a protective hatch covers the companionway. Tender operations are effortless thanks to a Steelhead ES1000 hydraulic crane rated to 450 kg.

Ship’s systems are engineered for safety and serenity: an automatic aerosol X‑FIRE marine fire‑extinguishing system (one unit in the engine room and one beneath the helm) augmented by CO2 handhelds to current classification; a professionally lined engine room with high‑grade acoustic insulation and additional Delta DB sound‑ and vibration‑damping coating; robust engine room ventilation; shower cabins with security glass doors; premium Hansgrohe sanitaryware; one high‑quality Opacmare Sedile electric steering chair; elegant wooden floors in galley and bathrooms; and a document safe in the master suite.

Deck equipment includes a Jabsco double‑halogen searchlight, a Kahlenberg D‑AO dual‑trumpet air horn, three Speich double‑arm wipers with adjustable intervals and washers, and a loudhailer. Ground tackle is serious: a MUIR VRC4000 24 V / 2000 W windlass handling a 100 kg stainless steel Pool anchor on 80 m of 13 mm stainless chain and an anchor roller, with deck and anchor wash connections close at hand, and a hot/cold shower on the swim platform.

Climate control is comprehensive: a Marvair fully auto‑reverse tropical air‑conditioning plant delivering 108,000 BTU via engine‑room chillers with independent zone control, plus whole‑ship floor heating—each cabin and area individually regulated—driven by a Kabola B75‑combi diesel boiler providing both heating and domestic hot water, with a new circulation pump installed in 2020.

Fuel is polished and protected by twin Volvo Penta 877770 diesel filters per engine, Volvo Lucas filtration for the Kabola and gensets, Algae‑X magnetic fuel conditioners to combat diesel bacteria, and a Jabsco transfer pump between the two fuel tanks. Fresh water is stored in PE tanks and delivered by a Gianesshi JET 4B C.E. pressure system with a back‑up pump; the drinking water disinfection system was updated in 2020. Waste is managed via a PE black/grey tank with level monitoring, Planus electric toilets/bidets, a Gianesshi WASTE PUMP MV 44G 24 V rated at 50 L/min with a back‑up pump, and Planus Aqualift shower sumps. Bilge security is ensured by four Jabsco 3500 pumps (14,000 L/hour each) plus a Jabsco Ocean Warrior manual pump. Everyday convenience extends to a Beam Centraal 220 V central vacuum and a Kolibri 8 ATU air compressor.

The galley is comprehensively equipped with a refrigerator/freezer, a wine fridge, a ceramic/induction cooktop, an extractor, a washing machine and separate dryer, a dishwasher, a combi oven, and a Qooker instant boiling‑water tap.

Electrical generation and storage are equally robust: a sound‑damped Northern Lights 26 kW 1500 rpm 400 V AC three‑phase generator; a 24 V 1000 Ah service bank built from 2 V cells; three 24 V 160 Ah AGM batteries for the main engines; and two 12 V 90 Ah AGM batteries for the gensets. Charging is via a Mastervolt 24 V/200 A service charger, a Mastervolt 24 V/60 A engine‑battery charger, and two Mastervolt 12 V/10 A genset chargers, with a 5 kW 24/230 V inverter providing silent ship power. Shoreside connectivity includes a 400 V/32 A inlet with isolation transformer and a separate 230 V/32 A inlet dedicated to chargers (with its own isolation transformer) for marinas without 400 V.

Protection against stray currents is afforded by an earth‑fault measuring system with alarm to warn of electrically polluted environments. The 24 V switchgear is professionally laid out: a main engine‑room board with double‑pole fusing and engine‑security switching where required, earth‑fault monitoring, and a 24 V DC indication and monitoring panel at the helm.

Lighting is refined and resilient: Cantalupi halogen downlights with dimmers in salon, dinette, galley, and all cabins; dedicated night‑navigation lighting in the wheelhouse; thoughtfully placed indirect lighting; technical spaces fitted with 230 V “TL” fixtures plus 24 V task lighting; dimmable deck lights over side and aft decks; LED foot‑lighting around the main decks and flybridge; LED‑lit stair treads; a central Domotica controller; and fully waterproof exterior luminaires. Navigation lights are specified for yachts up to 50 meters, complemented by a Jabsco double‑halogen searchlight.

Entertainment is immersive and multi‑zone: a KVH M7 satellite TV dome; a Marantz SR70089.2 network home‑theater receiver with AirPlay in the salon feeding two speaker outputs in the salon, two on the aft deck, and two on the sundeck; three Sonos CONNECT streamers; a Marantz UD50073D universal Blu‑ray player with networking; Bowers & Wilkins CM8 salon speakers augmented by an ASW610XP subwoofer; Bowers & Wilkins AM1 speakers on the aft deck; and a 2020 JL Audio system on the flybridge.

A computer system and an onboard UMTS Wi‑Fi system keep you connected. Security is handled by a professional alarm with certified GPS tracker and intrusion detection. At the wheelhouse, a Volvo Penta Professional Marine Autopilot system is paired with two powerful NSO processors, a Simrad Di15 15” monitor, an OP40 wired remote, a Simrad TX06s 6 kW 4 ft open‑array radar, AIS NAIS 300 Class B black box, VHF and GPS aerials, two Simrad RS87 DVHF radio systems with full Class D DSC, individual speaker volume control, SimNet integration for your GPS chartplotter, the ability to add stations, hailer/fog horn or individual intercom speakers, two VHF aerials, two digital multifunction 7” displays, and the requisite sensors.
