Superyacht “Valor” In London 2025

Published · Updated

Having only been officially handed over in September 2025, on 22nd October 2025 the very new superyacht “Valor” sailed up the River Thames and into the Pool of London.

The ship sailed through Tower Bridge twice in the space of 30 minutes. Sailing through after the first lift, the yacht then perfectly pirouetted arounds its own axis without assistance from tugs, demonstrating how precisely manoeuvrable the ship is.

The ship then held itself in position whilst waiting for Tower Bridge to be raised once more so the voyage could continue back down the River Thames.

Superyacht “Valor” is 79.5 metres long, is ice strengthened for voyages into the Arctic and was built by the Royal Dutch shipyard Feadship.
