The latest 27-metre Continental Two from Dutch yard Van der Valk Continental Yachts is for an experienced owner, who plans to cruise her in Northern Europe.

The project is moving along swiftly with building due to start this month with a scheduled launch date of Spring 2017.

Interior and exterior design is by Guido de Groot and naval architecture is by Jaron Ginton. The yacht will be built in aluminium with a fast-displacement hull.

The exterior spaces are designed for relaxing and entertainment, and as such the yacht will move away from previous Continental Two models and not house the tender on the flybridge. Instead, the flighbridge will contain a dining area and wetbar and grill, as well as plenty of space for sunbeds. The foredeck will also be used in the same way, and boasts an integrated U-shaped sofa and sunbed.

Accommodation includes an owner’s stateroom, a VIP cabin and two guest suites, with a rumoured minimalist style throughout the yacht.

Van der Valk Continental Yachts already has two Continental Twos already in build, as well as a 26-metre Continental Three and a 24-metre Continental Four, all due for delivery in 2016.
