Step aboard the Lady Belle and experience just how surprisingly spacious and well-thought-out a compact motorboat can be. Every detail of the layout is designed to give you and your party (up to 5 people) a sense of freedom, comfort, and coziness. Inside, you are welcomed by a bright, atmospheric saloon with unobstructed panoramic views of the Frisian landscape. The comfortable seating area invites you to dine for hours, play games, or simply relax after a wonderful day on the water. Thanks to the clever layout, you can transform this seating area into an extra sleeping berth in no time. No compromises on comfort: the compact galley (kitchen) is fully equipped with a refrigerator, stove, and sufficient inventory to prepare the most delicious meals yourself. Additionally, the Lady Belle features its own clean bathroom with a toilet and washbasin. This ensures you are completely self-sufficient while underway. The fixed sleeping area is located in the bow. This cozy cabin offers a comfortable bed and smart storage space for your luggage. It is the perfect place to retreat for a moment and enjoy an undisturbed night's sleep on the rippling water. Outdoor life largely takes place on the spacious, raised aft deck. From the outside helm, the captain has a fantastic, unobstructed view of the Frisian landscape, making maneuvering and mooring extra easy. The aft deck offers ample space for the entire party to enjoy the sun and the fresh breeze together. Thanks to the flexible convertible canopy, you remain comfortably sheltered here even on a cooler evening or during a summer shower. Furthermore, the fixed steps provide easy access to shore or the swimming platform.

What makes this accommodation special

The Lady Belle is not just any motorboat from our fleet: it is the smartest explorer of the Frisian waters. This vessel excels through a rare combination of features: Ultimate route freedom: With an exceptionally low clearance height of just 2.40 meters, you sail effortlessly under countless fixed bridges. Where larger yachts have to wait or take a detour, with the Lady Belle you choose the most idyllic, quiet routes through historic village centers and narrow canals. Grand comfort in a manageable size: At 9.35 meters, she is the most compact cruiser in the fleet, yet one equipped with two helm stations (inside and outside), a full-fledged shower and toilet with standing headroom, and sleeping accommodation for 5 people. Luxury boating without a license: Thanks to the stable chine hull and the powerful bow thruster, the ship responds directly and predictably to every steering movement. This makes the Lady Belle the perfect boat for the novice skipper who wants to experience the true 'yacht feeling' and maximum luxury without a license.
