The Lady Marlice is a handy, luxurious, and compact motorboat (type Nautica 900) specially designed for 2 people. Thanks to the clever layout and low air draft, this vessel is perfect for comfortably exploring the smaller waterways and historic villages of Friesland. The boat features a cozy aft cockpit with a comfortable bench seat. The cockpit is equipped with a flexible, fully closable cockpit tent. A unique feature is that the top of the helm station can be opened completely, allowing you to steer comfortably in the sun. A small staircase leads from the cockpit into the saloon. Here, you will find a comfortable sofa and a TV with Wi-Fi reception. The kitchen (galley) is located directly opposite the sofa in the saloon. This compact kitchen is fully equipped, including a 3-burner stove, a refrigerator with freezer compartment, and a coffee maker. Slightly further forward in the ship is a neat, combined toilet and shower room.

What makes this accommodation special

The motorboat Lady Marlice from Waterrecreatie Syperda is a handy, luxurious 2-person motorboat (type Nautica 900) specially designed for a relaxed and intimate boating holiday for two. The vessel combines a compact size with the comfort and high-quality handling characteristics of a larger yacht.

This is what makes the Lady Marlice so special:

Unique convertible experience at the helm
The most distinctive feature of the Lady Marlice is its flexible steering ease. The roof of the helm can be fully opened at the top by removing the cover. This allows you to steer comfortably outside in the sun, while the clever construction keeps you perfectly sheltered from the wind.

Unlimited access to idyllic waterways
Thanks to its compact dimensions (length of 8.90 meters) and a very low clearance height of only 2.40 meters, this is the ultimate boat for discovering the smaller, hidden waters of Friesland. You pass countless fixed, low bridges effortlessly without having to wait for them to open.

Effortless maneuvering for everyone
• Bow and stern thruster: The boat is equipped with both a built-in bow and stern thruster. This makes mooring sideways, turning, and maneuvering in narrow canals or busy marinas child's play.

• No boating license required: Despite the luxurious equipment and excellent engineering, you may operate the Lady Marlice entirely without a boating license.

Smartly designed and comfortable interior
The vessel shares exactly the same high-quality comfort as sister ship Lady Cora and is equipped with all modern conveniences:

• Cozy cockpit: Features a comfortable fixed bench seat with a fully closable tent.

• Cozy saloon: Equipped with a spacious 4-person sofa and a complete kitchen including a 3-burner stove and refrigerator.

• Full sanitary facilities: A neat, combined toilet and shower room is located on board. • Sleeping in the bow: A comfortable double V-berth is located in the bow for an undisturbed night's sleep.
• Always power: Thanks to a powerful inverter (24V to 220V) and shore power supply, you always have electricity on board for your equipment.
