Valkkruiser 12.60AK

This 1996 Valkkruiser 12.60 AK is a paragon of Dutch craftsmanship and solidity. Designed by Gijs van der Valk and built at the renowned G. van der Valk shipyard in Sprang-Capelle, this classic motor yacht combines comfort, robust construction, and reliable sailing characteristics. At 12.60 meters long, 3.80 meters wide, and with a draft of 1.10 meters, this steel yacht offers the perfect balance of stability, space, and maneuverability. The hard-chined hull ensures smooth sailing and minimizes rolling, making long voyages comfortable and relaxing. Thanks to its 3.30-meter air draft and a draft of just 2.55 meters, this vessel is also ideal for cruising inland waterways and canals. In recent years, this Valkkruiser has been meticulously maintained and modernized in key areas. For example, the ship was professionally repainted in 2020, received a completely new teak deck in 2015, and a new spray hood was installed in 2022. In addition, the engine was fitted with a new starter motor (2024), and the batteries were replaced in 2023, further increasing its reliability and operational safety. On board, you'll be welcomed by warm, classic decor. The spacious saloon with its L-shaped seating area invites you to relax together, while the adjoining galley is equipped with a 4-burner gas cooktop, an Electrolux refrigerator with freezer, and ample cupboard space for longer stays on board. Opposite the galley is a cozy dinette. The layout is well-thought-out and comfortable. Aft is the spacious owner's cabin with a freestanding double bed, while forward is a guest cabin with two single bunk beds. There are four fixed berths in total. The bathroom is equipped with an electric toilet and a separate shower enclosure with a shower tray and curtain. Hot water is provided by a 53-liter boiler, heated by the engine or shore power. The reliable DAF DD 575 diesel engine with 120 hp is cooled via an indirect cooling system, which minimizes wear and corrosion. Propulsion is provided by a propeller shaft and a PRM 302 D3 reversing gear, while bow and stern thrusters ensure easy maneuvering. The electrical system is well-equipped, including a Victron Energy Atlas Combi 24/1800 battery charger/inverter, shore power connection, and 12V, 24V, and 220V systems. Navigation is facilitated by a compass, depth sounder, log/speedometer, rudder angle indicator, and a Standard Horizon VHF radio. The spacious aft deck and swim platform are finished in teak, the full stainless steel railings provide all-round safety, and the davits allow for a dinghy. Anchoring is easy with a galvanized Danforth anchor and a manual Lofrans windlass. This Valkkruiser is not only a stylish and comfortable motor yacht, but also in excellent condition. Thanks to its solid construction and practical layout, this yacht is ideal for those seeking reliable boating pleasure with a classic look.
