Step Aboard Lady Marina: The Venerable Transoceanic Champion Once Crowned ‘Best Power Boat’

For those passionate about nautical exploits, the Lady Marina presents a captivating exploration. Once awarded the title of ‘Best Powerboat over 43 Metres’ by the International Superyacht Society in 2000, she boasts a remarkable transoceanic range of 5,500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12.5 knots.

Since her recognition, Lady Marina has undergone significant overhauls whilst maintaining the integrity of her systems and structure through a meticulous and effective engineering program. Bearing three levels, her design incorporates a rare helipad for yachts of her size and an elevator for seamless movement across all decks.

Commissioned by Feadship, and with the interior design entrusted to Donald Starkey, her interior meshes quality with a subdued, elegant style. Her master suite invokes a distinct oriental influence, creating a unique ambiance. Adding a delightful sophistication, the guest cabins are named after star constellations.
