Worth knowing
Jachtwerf Gijs van der Valk B.V.; cover, cost and conditions
Jachtwerf Gijs van der Valk B.V. is listed in our records as a Dutch motor yacht builder; B.V. is the Dutch form of a limited company. Accounts of its founding and history contradict each other, so we leave them out here. Two names mark the boats: Valkkruiser and Vitesse. In our records Valkkruiser stands for cabin yachts from 11.8 to 13.5 metres and Vitesse the longer models up to 16.5 metres, with the Valkkruiser Vitesse 13,5 carrying both names. The numbers follow no single system, giving metres with a point or comma, centimetres as in the Vitesse 1500, or feet as in the Vitesse 54 and Challenger 42.
Our model records list eight designs, all motor yachts, built between 1975 and 1999. The Valkkruiser 11.80 comes first and runs longest, from 1975 to 1994. It is followed by the Valkkruiser 1200 Fly and 12,50 from 1982, the Valkkruiser Vitesse 13,5 from 1987, the Vitesse 54 from 1988, the Valkkruiser 12.00 from 1989, the Challenger 42 from 1990 and finally the Vandervalk Vitesse 1500 from 1993 to 1999. Five models carry the Valkkruiser name and three the Vitesse name. Lengths run from 11.8 metres to 16.5 metres, and the Valkkruiser 12.00 actually measures 12.6 metres.
These are mature yachts at home on rivers, canals, lakes and coastal waters. Dutch inland cruising means locks, bridges and shallow stretches, so a careful skipper and good fenders matter as much as engine hours. Boats built up to 1999 differ widely in condition, and a recent survey of hull, engines and wiring says more than the year on the papers. A winter ashore under a well ventilated tarpaulin keeps the interior dry.
