“If a client asks me for a yacht that simply gets it right, VAN DER WERF 286 is usually my first call. The 87.17m Van Der Werf build hits a sweet spot — big enough to feel like a private floating villa, intimate enough that the crew remembers how you take your morning coffee by day two. In Caribbean especially, the itinerary options around her are exceptional — and the crew know every anchorage worth the detour.”

What a yacht like VAN DER WERF 286 costs to own — not just to charter
