PROJECT NEXO
A yacht that adapts to life on board
Project NEXO is our 30-metre concept for active, design-conscious owners who want to live well on the water. Her name is short for New Experience X-Over, and that crossover runs through every deck: between inside and outside, between yacht and sea, and between the many ways a single space can be used. We developed her with Dutch design studio Phathom around one idea: wellness built into the architecture itself, in the way each space opens to the water and reshapes itself around the people on board. A soft minimalist design language carries through stone, linen and leather, chosen for how they feel as much as how they look, while biophilic planting and organic textures keep your attention on the water and the light.

PROFILE
A dual-level beach club at the stern
The social heart of Project NEXO sits aft, where a dual-level beach club gathers family and guests around a central hot tub. Side terraces open outward on either side and connect directly with the sea, and a hydraulic swim platform extends the space down to the waterline, so a swim is only a few steps from the hot tub. Beneath a clean, walkable deck, a concealed garage houses the tender and a full complement of water toys, keeping the beach club clear and calm until the moment you need them.
Spaces that change with the moment
Forward, a liftable bow platform gives the foredeck three uses: a place to sunbathe, an open-air cinema once the screen is raised, or a dedicated fitness zone, all within her clean exterior lines. Midship, the main deck salon opens aft and to both sides to form additional terraces. To port, a sliding bar moves from formal service to casual drinks; to starboard, the salon sofa rotates outward to join the exterior terrace in a single indoor-outdoor seating area. The full-beam owner's suite occupies the bow, its integrated en suite designed to keep you connected to the water beyond. One deck up, you can specify the upper deck lounge as an indoor-outdoor dining area, a gym or a spa.
A starting point for your own yacht
We build every Van der Valk yacht entirely to her owner's specification, and Project NEXO is a starting point, not a menu. She shows what our custom expertise in Waalwijk brings to a single, coherent vision at 30 metres. Every deck, layout and material remains open to development around the way you and your family live on board.
