New owners for Lady Lene

The 33.7-metre Van der Valk explorer yacht has recently been sold. The transaction saw Johnny Wise of Yachts360 introduce the buyer, while Barin Cárdenas of YachtCreators represented the seller.

Delivered in 2021, Lady Lene represented a significant milestone for Van der Valk Shipyard, both in scale and level of build quality at the time. Her naval architecture was developed by Diana Yacht Design and Ginton Naval Architects, with interiors by Carla Guilhem Design and exterior styling by Guido de Groot Design.

The yacht’s design draws on the golden age of yachting, reinterpreted through an Art Deco lens, and accommodates up to eight guests across four staterooms, including a VIP suite with private balcony on the bridge deck.

Powered by twin MAN engines, Lady Lene cruises at 14 knots with a top speed of 18 knots. Her fast displacement hull, wave-piercing bow and Hull Vane transom wing deliver strong performance and fuel efficiency, while full ADA compliance ensures wheelchair accessibility throughout.

The yacht’s design and engineering have been widely recognised, receiving a Judges Commendation at the 2022 World Superyacht Awards and ‚Best Interior Design‘ at the 2023 BOAT International Design & Innovation Awards. Her proven naval architecture has since served as the basis for several bespoke yacht projects.

We congratulate both brokers on a successful transaction and extend our best wishes to the new owners.
