2028 Van der Valk Pilot 26m

The Pilot 26m is a 85-foot aluminum motor yacht that merges explorer-style ruggedness with contemporary superyacht refinement. Designed by Cor D. Rover, the all-aluminum hull offers substantial interior volume alongside generous outdoor entertaining and lounging areas throughout the yacht.

Power comes from three Volvo Penta diesel engines delivering 2,400 total horsepower, enabling a maximum speed of 21 knots and a cruising speed of 17 knots. The beam of nearly 22 feet provides the stability and space that define the design's appeal.

Accommodations include five cabins and four heads, allowing comfortable berths for owners, guests, and crew. The layout prioritizes both livability and the open-plan philosophy that characterizes modern exploratory yacht design, with well-appointed interiors that balance technical sophistication and everyday usability.
