Life’s a Beach Club: fourth build

Excellent progress is being made on construction of the fourth hull in our BeachClub line. If you’d like to enjoy the finest pleasure on the water on a brand-new yacht tailored to your personality and preferences, this new addition to the Van der Valk fleet would be ideal. Get ready to embrace the unrivalled space and comfort of a 66-foot beauty with the spaciousness and volume of a 75-footer…

This new BeachClub 660 Flybridge will build on the success of the similarly sized Alvaro and Alvali and the BeachClub 600 Lucy Penguin. The series benefits from many years of research and development and client input and was designed together with Ginton Naval Architects and designer Cor D. Rover. The key to space is having the engines installed in the swim platform area, giving more room in the interior and optimising the aft area of the yacht.

See the space

Put simply, your BeachClub 660 Flybridge will not only feel like she has an exceptional amount of space: that’s actually the case in reality. Everyone who steps onboard one of these yachts is amazed at how they offer the kind of living space normally only seen on much larger yachts. In addition to having around a third more volume than ‘standard’ motoryachts in this size, the BeachClub line is also much more detailed compared to anything else on the market. Add in all the customisation and personal finish choices and you have a yacht that truly stands out from the crowd.

Life at sea

The specs speak volumes. The fourth BeachClub will have four al fresco areas which you’re sure to enjoy at different times of the day: a 17 square metre beach deck and sun lounge, a 17 square metre aft deck, a giant 25 square metre foredeck and a 10 square metre flybridge. Moving indoors, the main deck salon/wheelhouse spans 21 square metre, the lower deck lounge with galley/dinette measures 27 square metre and the accommodations cover a total of 44 square metre. You will have a deluxe owners’ suite, two twin guest cabins and the option for a crew cabin if you wish. Large windows and sliding doors in both salons and the owners’ suite open up panoramic views on the world.

Interior innovations

A key difference with this new BeachClub will be an interior by Carla Guilhem Design, refreshing the look with a next-generation vibe and a feeling of calm within the large spaces. New design elements include the geometric look of the stairs, a kitchen island that doubles as a bar, and a day head in a funky black colour. A young-at-heart feel prevails with fewer materials than on the earlier BeachClub models and a softer ambiance. Clean style lines go back and forth in the walnut and teak floors in a yacht that will be timeless not trendy.

The ceilings have a range of groovy forms and shapes, while the colours are strong due to the use of walnut with white gloss and matte walls and black pop-ups. Dark gold features on the sofa, table and faucets create a sense of unity. The master suite has a vivid feel with the column behind the bed housing the anchor forming part of a large piece that can be turned around to create different shapes. Adding circular elements to the superstructure sides makes it seem as if the furniture is loose and any triangular forms have been eliminated to generate more amplitude in the space.

Added value

The dashboard of the fourth BeachClub has been given a new modern look and the outdoor spaces further enhanced. The height of the wheelhouse has been raised by 15 centimetres compared to earlier models to add a little more volume to the lower deck cabins and reduce the number of steps from the salon forward.

Built entirely in aluminium, the yacht will come with twin Volvo Penta IPS-1050 drives with IPS 2 props and have a top speed of 26 knots. You can expect very low noise levels thanks to the installation of special sound-generating equipment inside the swim platform.
