Lilyan Yate a motor

Two hundred and sixty hours on her engines is the clearest fact about Lilyan: a yacht barely used since Princess completed her as a Y85 in 2023. She has stayed with one private owner in Singapore throughout that time, never chartered, which is the kind of history a buyer can read as confidently as a survey report. At eighty-six feet she is a flybridge motor yacht built for owners who mean to run her themselves.

Build and provenance

Lilyan is a monohull flybridge motor yacht finished in white gelcoat, with walnut wood through the interior in a satin finish. Twin 1,900 hp MAN V12 engines drive her, showing 260 hours, and two 27kW ONAN generators supply her hotel load. is what a surveyor looks for first on a yacht this size.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, laid out to an alternative plan with a double-berth conversion in one cabin and a fold-down berth in another, useful for a family that needs an extra berth without losing a cabin. The saloon swaps the standard two sofas for an L-shaped sofa and a pair of armchairs, and the galley counter is quartz rather than the standard finish.

Performance and engineering

Twin 1,900 hp MAN V12 engines, showing 260 hours, sit behind fin stabilisers that work both underway and at rest, so a night at anchor stays as still as the passage that got her there. A hydraulic stern thruster and third-station controls in the cockpit make her easier to handle short-handed when docking. Two 27kW generators keep the hotel systems running at anchor without strain.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, the flybridge carries its own hardtop and a servery unit doubles as a cockpit bar, useful when guests eat outside rather than in the saloon below. A watermaker means she is not dependent on marina refills for a longer stay aboard, and underwater lighting around the transom and hull sides extends the evening on the water after dark. A karaoke system fitted in the saloon and a wine cooler in the galley round out the entertaining side of the boat.

Where she lies and how to see her

Lilyan lies in Singapore, within reach for buyers across Southeast Asia and beyond. Boatcrowd sets up viewings and is there for each one, and once an offer is accepted we bring in a surveyor and arrange the sea trial before anything is signed off.
