De Valk is central agent

 

De Valk has been appointed Central Agent for the chartering of the beautifully restored motor sailer Iduna. Available throughout the Mediterranean region, the yacht offers an authentic nautical atmosphere, combining classic splendour with 21st-century standards of comfort. Iduna is a classified yacht d'époque and can also be chartered during the classic regattas.

Originally launched in 1939 by Royal De Vries, Iduna remained the largest Feadship built until 1960.  Her three-year rebuild was carried out in the purpose-built Classic Yacht Darsena yard in Italy. This is the same multinational team that was responsible for the stunning restoration of the 1920 gaff cutter Lulworth.

Iduna's interior echoes the golden age of yachting, combining mahogany and teak with subtle fabrics and enormous attention to detail. Modern conveniences such as air-conditioning and an audiovisual entertainment system are subtly incorporated. The owner's stateroom is the height of sophistication, with a Queen-size bed and ensuite bathroom. Other accommodation includes an ensuite guest double, an ensuite guest twin and two large cabins for four crew members.

There are two spacious lounges, one on the lower deck and another in the wheelhouse. Iduna's extensive deck spaces offer exceptional options for al fresco dining and entertainment, and the yacht has a good selection of water sports toys.
