SHARE
The Dutch superyacht builder has splashed the third yacht named Jangada for the same client, with features including a gym and a flybridge pool.
Van der Valk Shipyard has launched the 35.9m Jangada, the third collaboration between the yard and the same owner. The first was a 2015 launch, christened Jangada and now named Mr Wonderful, while the second was delivered in 2019 and earned a nomination in the 2020 World Superyacht Awards.
Designed by Nick Top and Guido de Groot, the third Jangada includes a raised pilothouse, while a hardtop will be added to the yacht during its final outfitting stage.
Featuring naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design and Ginton Naval Architects, the full-displacement motoryacht has a round-bilged steel hull, aluminium superstructure, a 34.8m waterline, an 8.5m beam and a 2.45m draft.
Jangada is fitted with two 900hp MAN D2862 LE427 engines and is expected to have a cruising speed of 13 knots and a top speed of 14-15 knots. Sea trials are “scheduled to commence shortly”, according to Van der Valk. The yacht has a fuel capacity of 33,920 litres and 5,800 litres of water.
High customisation levels include facilitating the owner’s wish to take his morning swim in a 4.5m jet-stream pool on the flybridge. The 7,200-litre capacity pool required installing a warm-water tank below the tender garage, which Van der Valk described as “another testimony to engineering excellence as well as design and layout vision”. Jangada also includes a gym.
The layout has been configured to accommodate the owner’s family lifestyle, with a full-beam master suite positioned forward on the main deck. Lower-deck cabins have been tailored for the owner’s children and grandchildren.
Large glass surfaces in the main saloon, paired with 2.6m-high ceilings, create an open atmosphere and extensive sightlines, while the interior showcases whitewashed wood details. The wheelhouse lounge offers unobstructed views when at anchor, with dashboard screens that fold away discreetly.
The yacht’s design emphasises separation between crew and guest areas, with comprehensive insulation reducing noise transmission throughout the vessel.
Van der Valk stated: “The new Jangada is the third custom build at Van der Valk for the same client and showcases how our yard has the flexibility, capacity and willingness to fully meet evolving requirements and lifestyle changes.”
