Construction of the 20.50m BeachClub 660 Flybridge motor yacht has started at the Van Der Valk Shipyard in the Netherlands. This is the second hull in the new BeachClub series. The first hull is 19.05 meters long and will go to the owner in spring 2018.

A feature of the BeachClub range, introduced last November, is the unusual positioning of the engines, which have been moved under the swim platform, freeing up space for guest seating areas.

This is made possible by the use of a compact, integrated Volvo Penta IPS propulsion.

The range includes three yacht models ranging in length from 19 to 34 metres. All three combine the naval architecture from Ginton Naval Architects and design from Cor D. Rover. These all-aluminium yachts have a sporty, modern look. In addition to the panoramic glazing in the main salon, the construction features glass sliding doors in the saloons and master stateroom.

The mid-length model of the new range, the BeachClub 660 Flybridge has three large outdoor seating areas: a 17 m² beach club with sun pads, a flybridge that can house an additional control station and a 25 m² large foredeck that can be converted into a tender.

Internally, the yacht has two saloons, one on the main deck, one on the lower deck. The 21 m² main deck saloon, where the main helm station is located, features panoramic windows. The lower deck saloon is even larger at 27 m² and includes a galley and a dinette. The living area is a regal 44 square metres with a luxurious master suite, two twin cabins and an optional crew cabin.

Two Volvo Penta D11B2-A MP engines with IPS 2 propellers give the BeachClub 660 a top speed of 24 knots. The boat has not yet found a buyer and is currently for sale.
