To ensure smooth passage, expert tug boats were employed in a coordinated push-pull operation instead of using the yacht’s own propulsion. One tug secured to the transom and another to the bow via a temporary X-shaped frame provided controlled movement through the tight space.

LALABE builds on the award-winning Lady Lene’s proven hull design, adapted as a fast displacement vessel capable of 17 knots. Designer Guido de Groot created an entirely new superstructure focused on multi-generational family living. True to her “Project Samba” origins, LALABE emphasizes life’s natural rhythms with residential-inspired features including an expansive aft cockpit that doubles as a garden terrace, complete with alfresco dining, relaxation areas, sauna, steam room, beach zone, and sea access platform.

Now undergoing sea trials, LALABE represents a new approach to luxury family yachting, successfully bridging innovative design with practical seaside living.
