Description
LADYSHIP is a 41.04-metre Heesen motor yacht combining classic Dutch build quality, substantial interior volume and generous exterior living spaces for private yacht charters across the Adriatic and Eastern Mediterranean. Originally delivered in 1994 and continually maintained and upgraded throughout her charter career, her latest charter specifications report further refit and equipment updates in 2025.
She accommodates up to 12 guests in 6 en-suite cabins and operates with a professional crew of 7. Highlights include a main-deck Master Suite, a VIP cabin offering accommodation comparable to the principal suite, four additional guest cabins, a spacious flybridge with Jacuzzi and bar, stabilizers, extensive alfresco areas and a recently upgraded collection of water toys. LADYSHIP is particularly well suited to private charters in Croatia, Montenegro, Greece and selected Italian cruising areas.

Accommodation
LADYSHIP accommodates up to 12 guests in 6 en-suite cabins. Her unusual arrangement includes a main-deck Master Suite, a particularly generous VIP cabin, two additional Double cabins and two Twin cabins.
Main-Deck Master Suite
The principal suite is positioned forward on the main deck and offers generous privacy, substantial storage and a large private bathroom with spa-style facilities.
VIP & 2 Double Cabins
The VIP stateroom is especially spacious and offers accommodation comparable to the Master Suite, complemented by two additional Double guest cabins.
2 Twin Cabins
Two Twin cabins complete the six-cabin layout and provide flexibility for families, children and mixed private groups.
Living Areas & Onboard Comfort
With approximately 360 GT of volume, LADYSHIP offers generous living spaces across three decks. Her main salon combines lounge and formal dining areas, while extensive outdoor spaces allow guests to enjoy both shaded alfresco dining and open-air relaxation.
Continually Updated for Modern Charter
LADYSHIP has undergone several refit and maintenance programmes during her long charter career. A comprehensive 2016 refit is widely documented, while current charter distribution now reports further refit work and significant equipment upgrades through 2025.
Recent charter inventories include new-generation Sea-Doo personal watercraft, Seabobs, an E-Foil and an upgraded Highfield tender, keeping her recreational package competitive despite the yacht’s classic Heesen pedigree.
Performance
LADYSHIP is powered by twin MTU 12V 396 TB94 diesel engines. Current charter specifications place her cruising speed at approximately 14.5 knots and maximum speed at around 19 knots.
Her semi-displacement aluminium platform provides a useful balance between passage-making performance and the substantial interior volume that makes her particularly comfortable for longer Adriatic and Mediterranean charters.

LADYSHIP Yacht Charter in Croatia & the Mediterranean
LADYSHIP is strongly established in the Adriatic charter market and is currently marketed for private yacht charters in Croatia, Montenegro and Greece, with selected availability extending into Italy and other Mediterranean cruising regions.
Croatian programmes can include Šibenik, Split, Hvar, Korčula and Dubrovnik, while Montenegro offers easy access to Tivat and the Bay of Kotor. Depending on seasonal positioning, Greek itineraries can extend through the Ionian Islands, Cyclades and Dodecanese.
Her substantial guest volume, six-cabin layout and comfortable cruising profile make LADYSHIP particularly suitable for larger families and groups looking for an extended Mediterranean charter rather than a compact high-speed motor yacht.

LADYSHIP Charter Rates
Published rates vary according to season, cruising area, embarkation port and confirmed availability. Applicable VAT, APA, fuel, provisioning, port charges and itinerary-specific costs are additional unless expressly included in the final charter agreement.
APA & Charter Expenses
LADYSHIP is offered on a standard base-charter-fee plus expenses basis. An APA — Advance Provisioning Allowance is normally paid before embarkation and managed by the captain to cover variable operating and guest-related expenses during the charter.
Exact APA, local VAT and destination-specific expenses depend on embarkation country and itinerary. These should be confirmed in the final charter proposal rather than treated as a fixed percentage across every cruising region.

12 Guests in 6 Cabins
A Master, VIP, two Double and two Twin cabins provide considerably more flexibility than many yachts of similar length.
Flybridge Jacuzzi

Updated Water Toys
New-generation Sea-Doos, Seabobs, E-Foil, paddleboards and a Highfield tender create a particularly strong activity package.
