A Timeless Dutch Classic Long-Range Motor Yacht
Built in 1962 by the renowned Dutch shipyard Scheepswerf De Beer, Lady Ecosse (ex La Grande Dame) represents the enduring charm and seaworthiness of Northern European classic yacht construction. Conceived as a true ocean-going displacement motor yacht, she embodies the refined balance between robust engineering, elegant proportions and long-range cruising capability that defined the golden era of post-war yacht design.
With a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, she was designed for safe and comfortable navigation. Her timeless profile, characterised by clean lines, generous walk-around decks and a purposeful raised wheelhouse, reflects the understated sophistication typical of Dutch-built yachts of the period.
Accommodation is arranged for up to eight guests in four cabins, typically including a main-deck master suite and additional guest cabins on the lower deck. Exterior living areas are generous and well-suited for dining, relaxation and entertaining, while the upper decks provide panoramic viewpoints and a quite cruising experience.
Today she stands as a fine example of a mid-century European motor yacht — a vessel of pedigree and authenticity offering her future owner the opportunity to enjoy a truly distinctive yachting lifestyle. Ideal for classic yacht events, long-distance cruising or private ownership with character, Lady Ecosse is more than a yacht — she is a floating piece of maritime heritage.
