LALABE
2025
|Motor Yacht
The 35-metre Van der Valk Lalabe is a fully custom superyacht that blends contemporary design with high-performance cruising, delivering an exceptional balance of style, comfort, and capability. Built in the Netherlands, she reflects Van der Valk’s reputation for precision engineering and bespoke craftsmanship, with every aspect tailored to enhance life on board.
Designed inside and out by Guido de Groot, Lalabe features sleek, modern lines paired with a warm, refined interior that prioritises natural light and open space. Her layout is centred around a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, with expansive deck areas and a unique bridge deck saloon that opens on three sides, creating a fluid connection between the yacht’s social spaces and the surrounding environment.
One of Lalabe’s defining qualities is her emphasis on wellness and relaxation. The yacht incorporates a spacious beach club complete with sauna and steam room, offering a spa-like experience at sea. This focus on comfort continues throughout the yacht, from the generous main deck owner’s suite to the well-appointed guest accommodation designed for extended stays.
Built on a fast displacement hull, Lalabe combines efficient long-range cruising with higher top speeds than traditional displacement yachts in her class. This makes her equally suited to leisurely passages and more dynamic itineraries.
Overall, Lalabe is a modern, lifestyle-driven yacht designed for owners who value flexibility, family-oriented living, and a strong connection to the water—bringing together performance, luxury, and innovative design in a highly refined 35-metre platform.
