PASSION FOR SPEED, A MIND FOR INNOVATION

In 2019, Kiwi born and bred international offshore powerboat winning champion Wayne Valder decided he wanted a luxury Powercat, he set his sights on something fast, extremely fast. Wayne set out to assemble a team of New Zealand’s leading experts in the marine industry. His quest took him to one of the world's foremost designers of high-performance pleasure cats, Roger Hill. With the design drafted, he approached Scott Lane Boat Builders, who have built a reputation for producing high-quality handcrafted motor yachts.

Proud Legacy

Having competed on the international offshore powerboat circuit in carbon fibre constructed race boats, Valder Yachts founder and C.E.O. Wayne Valder has an intimate knowledge of carbon fibre's superior properties and integrity. So the material was not only the obvious choice to build his new line of luxury high-speed power cats but was also an appropriate brand name.

THE ART OF YACHT BUILDING

Following along the lines of the luxury car industry, Valder Yachts has taken a whole new direction when it comes to building luxury motor yachts in New Zealand. We have replaced chrome with anodised black. There are no bow rails to break the free-flowing aesthetics of the whole form. The presentation is a snappy clean finish.

Owning a Valder yacht puts faraway destinations at your fingertips. An owner has the ability toventure further than was previously thought possible. Valder Yachts offer the perfect vessel to cross oceans safely with all the comforts of your seaside apartment.

C.N.C programmes

DOING THE UNEXPECTED

Valder Yachts is an all-carbon fibre vessel produced using epoxy-infused carbon components. Essentially, the hull has four main modules that are not all brought together for final assembly until the interior is virtually complete. This considerably speeds up the building process as the sides are left off the hull as long as possible during construction. Using the latest C.N.C. programmes, all the components fit together with millimetre precision.
