Lady Joy Yacht Description
-
3 x eFoil by Lift:
Today’s most popular toy for quiet, easy gliding over the water. -
Water Slide (2019):
Big hit for kids and adults, turning swim stops into active playtime. -
Stabilizers at anchor:
Reduces rolling overnight, so everyone sleeps better in calm bays.
A proper 12-guest setup. LADY JOY is a 157ft Christensen motor yacht built in 2007 and refit in 2022, sleeping 12 guests in 6 cabins, including a full-beam on-deck master with a private office.
Decks built for groups. Multiple dining zones mean you can do formal dinner, casual lunch, or “we are still in swimwear” snacks without playing musical chairs. Big outdoor living, plenty of seating, and a swim platform for straightforward water access. Simple. Effective.
Jacuzzi, plus backup jacuzzi. There is a deck jacuzzi for the social hour, and a jacuzzi tub in the primary suite when you want the same concept, but quieter. Stabilizers at anchor help keep things comfortable when you are parked up.
Toys for active days. The lineup leans action-forward: a waterslide, 2 SeaDoo GTR 230 waverunners, 3 Seabobs, 3 Lift eFoils, a flyboard, paddleboards and kayaks, plus snorkel gear and 6 sets of dive gear for qualified divers. Two tenders round it out, including a towed 38ft/12m Custom SACS Stratos RIB and a 2023 15ft Highfield RIB with a ski pole for towing.
Movie night is covered. When the sun does its job a little too well, LADY JOY has a movie theatre and a skylounge that can double as cinema night with blackout blinds, plus a Yamaha Clavinova piano and a karaoke machine for whoever thinks they can actually sing.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a motor yacht like Lady Joy, the expected APA is 25% to 40% of the charter price ($49,750 - $79,600), making the charter cost $248,750 to $278,600. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
