Dutch shipyard Van der Valk’s 111-foot (34-meter) luxury expedition yacht Lady Lene has touched the water for the first time. With a wave-piercing arch, giant windows that provide stunning panoramic views, and wing stations for easy mooring, Lady Lene looks set to beautify the high seas.
The yacht‘s superstructure features massive windows that provide panoramic views, adding to the feeling of openness. The fully customized motoryacht can accommodate up to ten people and has a VIP cabin on the bridge deck. The VIP room has an extra bed, balcony and back patio.
The owner’s cabin and office are located on the lower deck. There you will also find two double bedrooms and a single suite at the front. The main deck features a spacious open plan lounge and a bright dining area with plenty of natural light.
The aft entertainment area is the focal point of the yacht’s design. With its stunning terrace, separate areas for relaxing and eating, a bar and a swim platform, this open space is where everyone will spend most of their time.
Lady Lane is powered by two MAN V12-1650 engines capable of developing 1,650 hp. This is enough for the vessel to reach a top speed of 18 knots (21 mph / 33 km / h).
The yacht features an interesting hull design which helps it improve its performance. It has a wave-piercing bow and hull weather vane developed by Ginton Naval Architects. This Hull Vane appendage reduces drag and offers major benefits in terms of reduced engine noise and fuel consumption.
“Extensive research also concluded that we could save over 12.5% ​​on fuel consumption at 11 knots by installing a Hull Vane appendage as well as reducing wake and pitch in opposing seas,” says Jaron Ginton, founder of Ginton Naval Architects.
The explorer yacht is expected to undergo sea trials in the coming weeks. Lady Lene is scheduled for delivery in 2022.
