Construction of the hull of the redesigned 1700 Mk2 is proceeding apace and you can see here how the steel plates are being attached. This sixth 1700 Mk2 by award-winning yacht designer Arnold de Ruiter features the completely newly designed window arrangement in the hull, allowing the yacht to let in much more light and provide better outward visibility.

Work going well on revamped 1700 Mk2
Your interior, your choices
You can become the new owner of this popular motoryacht that will be completed in the summer of 2027. Many of your specific wishes can still be fully accommodated at this stage, including the layout of the saloon and galley, the number of cabins and bathrooms, the types of wood, the colour schemes, the materials and much more besides.
Other options
The exterior is obviously crucial to the look & feel of your yacht so it pays dividends to start considering the right colour scheme in good time. Everything is still on the table when it comes to technical options too: would you go for a hydraulic swim platform? Fin stabilisers or a gyro? Spud poles or even a flybridge? Let’s put our heads together and explore the options which match the way you like to spend life on the water.
Precision work
The Executive 1700 Mk2 is built from high-quality steel. Its complex cutting package consists of hundreds of pieces, all of which need to fit together in exactly the right way. It’s fascinating to see how the steel plates are attached to the hull, a process which demands all the expertise, experience and eye for precision of the Van der Hoven craftsmen. You can already clearly see the shape of the new windows in the hull. This impressive design will benefit all future models in the Executive series, including the 2400 currently under construction.
