The construction of 34m superyacht Lady of Leisure is progressing well at the Van der Valk shipyard ahead of her September delivery date.
The 34m custom explorer yacht has been commissioned by experienced owners for specific requests, and is destined to be a lady of leisure on the seas. The owners have been keen to get out to sea as soon as possible, and took inspiration from Van der Valk’s previous work on 29m Venera.

Behind her sophisticated exterior, however, Queen Eleganza’s interior can only be described as an ingenious distribution of volume and layout. Boasting one of the highest sleeping occupancies of any charter yacht on the market, Queen Eleganza achieves the remarkable feat of remaining spacious, comfortable, and every bit a luxury superyacht.
