On the Cover: Valiatt Yachts
A Refined Approach to the Modern Bowrider
For over 30 years, Valiatt Yachts has established a clear and consistent approach to modern yacht design — one rooted in purposeful engineering, balanced layouts, and long-term reliability. With a lineup that extends from 35 to 54 feet, the focus is on cruising and day-use yachts designed around simple functionality, purposeful layouts, and a refined onboard experience. Each yacht is proudly assembled in the United States using trusted American components, ensuring quality, durability, and easy replacement for parts.
Every Valiatt begins with a hull designed for stability, efficiency, and confident handling. The focus is on proportion and balance — how the boat cuts through the water, how each space flows to the next, and how the experience feels from the helm throughout the yacht. That same thinking shapes the entire lineup, giving the fleet a consistent character that’s immediately felt once you step aboard.
The brand’s design approach is most clearly expressed in the Valiatt 380 Bowrider, the 2025 FLIBS Best Seller and flagship 38-foot model. While bowriders are traditionally associated with day boating, the 380 was designed to expand that definition — offering greater flexibility, comfort, and capability without compromising the open feel that defines a bowrider.
The deck layout features a full walk-around bow seating configuration, allowing effortless movement forward while preserving usable seating and clear sightlines. The bow is designed as an active social space, seamlessly connected to the cockpit rather than separated from it. Throughout the deck, seating is thoughtfully positioned, circulation feels natural, and transitions between areas are fluid, creating a layout that adapts easily throughout the day.
A defining feature of the Valiatt 380 Bowrider is its private, fully enclosed cabin — a feature rarely found in bowriders. Integrated without disrupting the yacht’s open character, the cabin introduces a new level of functionality and comfort. It provides privacy, versatility, and a quiet retreat, adding depth to the overall experience and reshaping expectations of what a 38-foot bowrider can offer.
Valiatt’s commitment to quality extends beyond layout and design into how each yacht is built. Assembly in the United States allows for close oversight of fit and finish, while the use of proven American components supports long-term reliability and ease of service. The result is a yacht that feels solid, composed, and dependable over time.
While the 380 Bowrider stands as a defining model for the brand, it represents a broader philosophy shared across the Valiatt lineup. Each model is designed to deliver a confident, enjoyable experience, whether cruising for the day, entertaining onboard, or spending extended time on the water — always with the same focus on usability, comfort, and balance.
The Valiatt 380 Bowrider stands as a clear expression of what defines Valiatt: confident performance, balanced spaces, and a layout shaped around how time on the water is actually spent. It sets the tone for a lineup that offers multiple models and configurations to suit different boating styles, preferences, and priorities, all built with the same focus on quality and long-term enjoyment. Whether the 380 Bowrider is your introduction to Valiatt or one of several options, each model delivers a yacht that feels considered, capable, and ready to be yours.
Your Vision. Your Yacht. Your Valiatt.
