The Lady Jo is a very spacious, comfortable, and stable 13.50-meter motor yacht, specially designed for larger groups of up to 7 people. Thanks to its generous dimensions and clever layout across three levels, this vessel offers a perfect balance between socializing and personal privacy. The Lady Jo features a very spacious and raised outdoor deck with an excellent helm station. From this vantage point, the entire crew has an unobstructed, panoramic view of the water. The deck can be flexibly enclosed with a convertible canopy. There is a bright and spacious living area in the middle of the ship, directly accessible from the aft deck. The saloon features a large, comfortable U-shaped sofa, a dining area, large windows all around, and a television. A few steps down from the saloon is the well-equipped, sunken galley (kitchen). At the very front lies a separate sleeping cabin with berths (often in a V-berth or bunk bed) that is ideal for guests or children. Finally, there is a separate staircase leading down to the aft section, ensuring maximum privacy. Here there are two more separate sleeping cabins, including a large cabin with a double bed.

What makes this accommodation special

The motorboat Lady Jo from Waterrecreatie Syperda is an impressive 13.50-meter-long motor yacht that excels in spacious living area and superior ease of navigation. This comfortable transom cutter offers sleeping accommodation for up to 7 people and is specially designed for families or larger groups who want to enjoy luxury on the water in complete freedom.

This is what makes the Lady Jo extra special:

Unique layout for 7 people
Where most motor yachts stop at 4 or 6 fixed berths, the Lady Jo offers a smart and flexible layout for 7 people. The vessel features three full-sized cabins, ensuring everyone on board enjoys comfort, privacy, and an undisturbed night's sleep. This makes the boat rare in its class and perfect for larger parties or two families. Effortless boating without a boating license
Despite its impressive length of 13.50 meters, the Lady Jo is surprisingly easy to steer:

• Bow and stern thrusters: Equipped with powerful bow and stern thrusters to maneuver the boat sideways effortlessly, even in narrow Frisian harbors or at locks.

• No boating license required: You may operate this large, luxury yacht entirely without a boating license. You will receive comprehensive instructions upon departure from Gaastmeer.

Enjoy the "all-weather" aft deck to the fullest
The large aft deck is the central focal point of the boat. It features a comfortable fixed bench seat and a spacious dining table for cozy evenings outdoors. Thanks to the flexible, fully closable convertible canopy, you are always sheltered here. Whether you are boating in the high season or enjoying the cooler evenings in spring or autumn, outdoor life never stops on the Lady Jo. Homely comfort on board
The interior is equipped with all modern conveniences for fully self-sufficient travel:

• A cozy, spacious saloon with plenty of natural light.
• A complete kitchen with refrigerator, stove, and microwave.
