About this tender

Lekker 45 - what we know.

The Lekker 45 is a 13.4m chase boat from Lekker, built in Leimuiden, Netherlands: 50 knots and 16 guests.

The Lekker 45 is the build we ask Lekker Boats for when a programme needs genuine offshore capability alongside the deck space to host sixteen guests without compromise. At 13.4 metres on the water, handbuilt in the Netherlands from raw aluminium, this is a purpose-designed day yacht and weekender that covers ground at 50 knots and still has room below for two sleeping areas and a separate shower and toilet.

What makes the 45 worth examining closely is the modular approach to the main deck. The same hull can be configured as a dining platform, a full sunlounger layout, a fishing and surf set-up with integrated coolers and rod holders, or a Seabob-ready toy carrier - and those configurations are chosen at the order stage, not bolted on afterwards. Inboard or outboard engine options add further flexibility depending on your garage dimensions and crew preference.

Below deck, the cabin sleeps four with ambient lighting and enough separation from the cockpit to function as a genuine overnight berth rather than a gesture towards accommodation. Triple Garmin navigation screens, a fully automatic anchor system, integrated air conditioning, and a JL Audio system with eight speakers, two subwoofers, and two amplifiers come as standard equipment - a specification level that removes the usual post-delivery options shopping.

Highlights

Built for the work.

The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.

Aluminium construction, Dutch handbuilt

Every Lekker 45 is hand-built in the Netherlands from raw aluminium. The material choice brings structural rigidity and long-term corrosion resistance suited to offshore day use, and the bespoke build process means each hull is finished to order rather than pulled from a production line.

50-knot top speed, sixteen-guest capacity

The manufacturer quotes 50 knots top speed alongside a certified seating capacity of sixteen. That combination - serious pace with genuine guest numbers - is the core case for the 45 over smaller, faster tenders that sacrifice deck volume to gain a few knots.

Modular deck with seven layout options

Lekker publishes seven distinct deck configurations: dining with round seat, fishing and surf gear, full sunlounger, high-low platform, open table and walkway, Seabob deployment, and closed table with swim access. Each is selectable at order stage, giving captains a genuinely purpose-built working deck rather than a generic layout.

Integrated AV and navigation package

Triple Garmin navigation screens, a fully automatic anchor system, integrated air conditioning, and a JL Audio system comprising eight speakers, two subwoofers, and two amplifiers are standard fit. This is a meaningful baseline that avoids the incremental cost creep typical of production boats with long options lists.

Inboard or outboard engine choice

The 45 is offered in both inboard and outboard drivetrain configurations, with joystick control and bow thruster available on both variants. The choice matters for tender garage planning: outboard overhangs affect cradle design, while inboard installations typically give a cleaner swim platform and lower centre of gravity.

Questions, answered

Before you enquire.

How much does the Lekker 45 cost?

The Lekker 45 is priced on request: the figure depends on engines, finish and delivery, so the yard quotes each build. SuperyachtTenders quotes new-build and pre-owned pricing within one working day, with lead time and the options that move the number.

Is the Lekker 45 available now?

The Lekker 45 is built to order; the current lead time is 6 to 9 months. None is listed with us this month; we track the used fleet and can alert you when one appears. Enquire through SuperyachtTenders for slot, delivery and pre-owned options in one reply.

How fast is the Lekker 45 and how far will it go?

The Lekker 45 has a top speed of 50 knots and 16 guests on a 13.4m chase boat. Figures are the builder's published numbers for the standard driveline; a different engine option changes speed and range, which is one of the things we confirm before you commit.

What engine options are available on the Lekker 45?

Lekker offers the 45 in both inboard and outboard configurations. Both variants can be specified with joystick control and a bow thruster. Specific engine makes and power outputs are not published on the model page; we would recommend contacting Lekker directly or requesting the full specification sheet at the enquiry stage.

How many guests can the Lekker 45 carry?

The manufacturer quotes a seating capacity of sixteen people. As with any vessel of this size, the applicable certification category will govern the operational limit in a given jurisdiction, so we would advise confirming the CE or flag-state classification relevant to your programme before finalising the order.

Can the Lekker 45 be used as a superyacht tender or chase boat?

At 13.4 metres and 50 knots, the 45 sits comfortably in the fast day yacht and chase-capable category. Its modular deck and toy-storage options make it practical as a chase or support vessel for an active watersports programme, though buyers should confirm davit and garage dimensions with their naval architect before ordering.

Is the Lekker 45 built to order or available off the shelf?

Every Lekker 45 is built to order in the Netherlands. The yard publishes seven distinct deck layout configurations and a broad options list covering seating materials, audio, storage, and fishing equipment. Lead times should be confirmed directly with Lekker at the point of enquiry.

What overnight accommodation does the 45 offer?

Below deck there are two sleeping areas with berths for four, a separate shower, and a toilet. Ambient lighting is fitted as standard. This makes the 45 viable for short coastal passages and overnight stops, though it is primarily designed as a day yacht and weekender rather than a bluewater cruiser.

The yard

Lekker

Leimuiden, Netherlands

Lekker Boats was founded in 2013 by designer Meindert Wolfraad and builds every hull at its shipyard in Leimuiden, south of Amsterdam. The yard's brief is straightforward: handcrafted, marine-grade aluminium construction, made to order, with no outsourcing and no production-line shortcuts. The result is a range that runs from the 7.5m Damsko 750 through the Damsko 1000, the Lekker 38, the Lekker 45, and the recently added Lekker 60 - a span of roughly 25 to 60 feet, all sharing the same material philosophy and the same Dutch-open-water aesthetic.

What brings the build into superyacht-tender and chase-boat programmes is the combination of shallow draft, trimable drive options, and a top-speed ceiling that reaches 57 knots with the right engine fit. The yard offers Yanmar diesel sterndrive inboards - which trim up to minimise tow drag alongside the mothership - as well as Mercury outboard configurations for owners who want the drives fully clear of the water at sea. Layouts across the range are biased heavily towards social deck space and guest capacity, with the larger models rated for up to twenty-five passengers.

More than 230 hulls are now in service across the Netherlands, Australia, the Mediterranean, and the Americas, which gives the yard a track record that reads well on a captain's due-diligence list. We'd put the Lekker range alongside the lighter, more socially configured end of the Dutch tender market - less a pure performance platform than a day-boat that can also hold a chase-boat role when the programme calls for it.
