Lady Sadie モーターヨット

Four crew look after eight guests aboard Lady Sadie, a ratio that keeps a full boat properly served without feeling crowded. Van der Valk built her in 2019 as a LeVen 90, and at 90 feet she carries that attention comfortably across her decks.

Build and provenance

She is a monohull motor yacht in flybridge style, built new by Van der Valk in 2019 to RINA classification, a class society builders use when a yacht is built to a recognised technical standard rather than to a one-off specification. She has just completed her five-year inspection, the kind of survey milestone that gives a buyer a recent, independent look at her structure.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep the eight guests, with a crew of four to run the boat and keep the cabins turned down. The flybridge layout puts the entertaining deck above the saloon, with the guest cabins below on their own deck, away from the day's activity.

Performance and engineering

Two MTU engines drive her, backed by 3,631 gallons of fuel and 617 gallons of fresh water, tankage built for days away from a fuel dock rather than a single afternoon out. A Seakeeper stabiliser keeps her level at rest, and bow and stern thrusters make close-quarters docking a one-person job.

On deck and at anchor

At anchor, the Seakeeper does the steadying while the Opacmare transformer lift and bathing platform handle getting in and out of the water. A Williams jet tender, two jet skis, a dive compressor and a tender crane are all aboard, kitting her out for an active few days at anchor rather than a quiet one.

Where she lies and how to see her

Lady Sadie lies in Jupiter, Florida. Boatcrowd sets up a viewing and comes along for it, and once an offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial follow before she changes ownership.
