This Custom 112-Foot Trideck Superyacht Feels Bigger Than It Actually Is
Van der Valk’s newest custom superyacht will make you feel like a king on the high seas.
Christened D.Rolli, the newly delivered 112-footer features a “castle tan” exterior and a spacious interior fit for royalty. The newcomer is the second vessel over 78 feet that the family-run yard has designed with Cor D. Rover’s eponymous firm. The two Dutch outfits built the tri-deck yacht for a discerning seafarer with an impressive fleet. The goal was to create the most onboard space as possible within the existing footprint.

“The project has its origins in a design concept from our office which was aimed at creating the maximum real estate,” De Rover said in a statement. “The client for this bespoke build, an experienced owner of multiple boats, asked to extend the length within this maximum-interior-space principle while taking the contemporary looks to an even higher level of sophistication.
Part of the Pilot series, D.Rolli has a self-contained pilothouse for the captain or owner. The custom cruiser also showcases raked bridge windows that are reminiscent of a commercial vessel, air grills that were inspired by automotive design, and robust, masculine lines that create a strong profile. The exterior is a testament to the skill of Van der Valk’s aluminum shapers and welders.
Details of the 295 GT interior have not yet been released, but D.Rolli has an owner’s suite on the main deck and VIP on the lower deck. Both open out to large balconies with ocean views. The aft platform is also equipped with two fold-out balconies that can double the amount of waterside space. Further toward the stern, you’ll find a hydraulic swim platform and a garage for tenders and toys.
D.Rolli offers an abundance of exterior deck space for alfresco lounging, too. The aft is home to a giant dining table and circular sofa that can both seat 10, while the bridge deck sports a wet bar with BBQ. To top it off, the foredeck is fitted with a sun lounge and a Jacuzzi.
As for performance, D.Rolli features a round-bilge, fast-displacement hull and a pair of MTU engines. She can reach a top speed of around 20 knots and has CMC stabilizers for comfort at anchor or sea.
The best part is Van der Valk is currently building another custom yacht for an owner with decades of experience on the water. Let’s see how that cruiser turns out, then.
