Fabulous Fabhcún lifts BeachClub concept to new heights
The fourth member of Van der Valk’s BeachClub fleet has just been launched and will soon be delivered to her owners. With a design from the boards of Ginton Naval Architects and Cor D. Rover, the BeachClub 660 Flybridge Fabhcún adds extra elan as well as space to the award-winning proposition behind this semi-custom series. An elegant interior by Carla Guilhem Design makes the most of a volume which is at least a third greater than ‘standard’ motoryachts in this size and showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the Van der Valk crew.
Like the three previous success stories in the BeachClub range, Fabhcún‘s engines are installed in the swim platform area, freeing up space for the inside rooms and aft area. Built entirely in aluminium, her twin Volvo Penta IPS-1050 drives with IPS2 props offer a top speed of 30 knots. A thrilling ride is assured, overseen from a wheelhouse that is higher compared to the previous BeachClub models. This arrangement has also increased the size of the cabins and reduced the steps from the saloon going forward.
Despite her powerful performance, Fabhcún will be whisper quiet underway thanks to the widespread installation of special sound-generating equipment inside the swim platform. This will ensure that the feeling of calm created by Carla Guilhem’s soothing interior is retained at all times. Key design elements include the geometric looking stairs, a kitchen island that doubles as a bar and a day head in a funky black colour. Large windows and sliding doors in the two salons as well the owners’ suite will provide panoramic vistas as the owners and their guests explore the seas in true BeachClub style.
