The 26.2-metre Yarrow motor yacht Lady Hertha has been listed for sale with Tim Langmead of Fraser.
Delivered by the Scottish yard in 1935 as Destiny, Lady Hertha was built from steel and is one of the rare vessels by G.L. Watson, a renowned designer responsible for the yacht's interior and exterior. Cared for by a meticulous owner and an experienced permanent crew, the yacht for sale is in turnkey condition and Cayman-flagged.
The broker added: “When it comes to classic yacht design there are few designers more rarefied than G.L. Watson, a storied designer of iconic yachts with glorious heritage [...] Yachts like this don't come along very often."
Lady Hertha accommodates up to six guests across three cabins located on the lower deck, including a wooden-clad master suite, VIP and twin cabin. Historically, there was a twin bunk bed cabin at the second entrance to the master cabin – something which could be reinstated with woodwork should the owner choose to have a four-cabin arrangement.
On deck, the yacht is characterised by her varnished surfaces – spanning tabletops, handrails and wooden panelling. Guests can make the most of the outdoor dining options, comprising the main deck aft and upper deck under an awning. There is also ample space for lounging.
The yacht has been systematically surveyed and refitted each year, with her 2024 refit and yard works including new shafts and exhaust systems.
The RINA-classed yacht is powered by twin diesel engines and covers approximately 3,000 nautical miles. She has a top speed of 11 knots and cruising speed of nine knots.
Currently lying in Cannes, France, Lady Hertha is asking €3,950,000.
