Van der Valk Shipyard has officially launched the 35-metre Motor Yacht Jangada—a remarkable new build that marks the third collaboration between the yard and the same owner. Following the success of its predecessor, which earned a World Superyacht Award nomination in 2020, the new Jangada brings evolved design, increased volume, and meticulous craftsmanship to the forefront of modern yachting.
Elegant Exterior Design
Designed by Nick Top and Guido de Groot, the yacht features an additional deck compared to her earlier iterations, while maintaining the signature raised pilothouse profile that defined the previous vessels.
Strong graphic lines unify the expanded volume, giving Jangada a sleek, cohesive, and distinctly modern silhouette—perfectly balancing style and performance.
Interior & Layout: Crafted for Family Living
The interior design embraces whitewashed woods, refined architectural detailing, and a layout thoughtfully customised for the owner’s family lifestyle.
Key Highlights:
- Full-beam master suite located forward on the main deck
- Lower deck cabins tailored specifically for the owner’s children and grandchildren
- A dedicated gym, offering convenient wellness options onboard
- 2.6-metre-high ceilings in the main saloon
- Expansive glass surfaces creating open, panoramic views
- A wheelhouse lounge with a clean, minimalist aesthetic—complete with foldaway dashboard screens
The result is a warm, modern, and spacious environment perfectly suited for multi-generational cruising.
Technical Innovations & Engineering Excellence
Among Jangada’s standout engineering features is the impressive 4.5-metre jet-stream pool located on the flybridge deck. Holding 7,200 litres of water, the installation required a specially engineered warm-water tank positioned beneath the tender garage—an impressive logistical achievement by the shipyard.
Additional Technical Highlights:
- Thoughtfully designed crew and guest separation throughout the vessel
- Extensive insulation applied to reduce noise transmission
- A layout engineered for smooth onboard circulation
- Advanced systems to support comfort, efficiency, and seamless cruising
A True Evolution in the Jangada Series
With sea trials set to begin soon, the 35m Jangada represents not just a new yacht, but the next evolution in a successful legacy between owner and shipyard. Pairing innovation with bespoke family-focused design, she is poised to become a standout in her class.
