The award-winning California 52 fulfills a long held dream of Prince Bernhard’s – elevating yachting to the next level. Dutch powerhouses Vripack design and Van der Valk shipyard were hand-selected by Prince Bernhard to create a masterpiece, one which handles & performs so perfectly as to evoke a visceral response when standing at the helm.

The Prince’s design scope for Waterdream detailed a luxury product not only seaworthy & fast, but environmentally sustainable as well. Again, Vripack and Van der Valk shipyard rose to the challenge, making 80% of all Waterdream build materials recyclable, including the hull and superstructure which are constructed from 100% ‘green’ aluminum.
