This is another family business with a successful career in both sail and power yachts over the last 60 years. They build in SCRIMP, the patented resin-infusion process that increases straight of the laminates, reduces emissions, and makes a very tough hull and deck. Ta Chou Shipyard builds the gorgeous powerhouse, the Aquabay 70 and the sleek Olympia 76. The Aquabay is a graceful yacht designed for the Australian market. The Olympia 76 has yachts cruising Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Malaysia, and Thailand. It has a variety of interior design options, engine options from traditional drive to pod drive systems that open up the interior spaces even more. From green technologies to IPS drive systems, they are familiar with new ideas and layouts to maximize your enjoyment and increase fuel efficiency. They have a great following of owners in Australia and Southeast Asian, as well as Taiwan and Japan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\nBuilt in aluminum in Holland, this family builder has a great history in yachting and a long order book. We have worked with Guido de Groot on a past new build and can attest to the sea keeping abilities of his and incredible interior designs. Van Der Valk has produced some exceptional yachts for their buyers. They have models that appeal to small families or couples, as well as larger yachts from 75 feet to 114 feet. Their displacement yachts can be built in both aluminum and steel hull with aluminum superstructure. These yachts highlight the amazing skill set based in Holland and the dedication to their craft.<\/p>\n

Baranof Yachts \u2013 Project Management<\/strong><\/p>\n Our project management is included with every boat purchase. Prior to any construction, we review your design, specifications and options to identify the unique requirements of all equipment and the configuration and relationship between all installed equipment. Our thoroughness ensures access to systems during routine and major maintenance to reduce the time and money impact on the owner. We look for conflicts in routine service such as removing filters, changing parts, and conducting maintenance. In addition, important but simple tasks such as washing the yacht to see where drains are located and how to reach each level safely. We also review closely to see how it will react to different weather conditions (day or night), to ensure the most satisfying cruising experience.<\/p>\n The reason we do this is because our background in the marine environment ranges from military vessels and blue water experience to years of yacht operations. We assume something will leak, break, stop working or need replacing at least convenient moment and work with the builder to minimize cost and inconvenience when addressing problems.<\/p>\n Our expertise and attention to detail will ensure a win-win relationship for the yacht\u2019s owner and builder. As always, quality takes time. It is why we recommend a delivery date not based on a date important to an event a buyer hopes to attend, but a date that produces a quality yacht in the usual time it takes to build a great yacht.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The yachting community can be rather small at times and at some point, you run into the same folks years later.
