About this tender
The Lekker 60 is a 17.7m chase boat from Lekker, built in Leimuiden, Netherlands: 50 knots and 24 guests.
The LEKKER 60 is the Dutch yard's largest and most considered build to date - a 17.7-metre aluminium platform that seats twenty-four and reaches 50 knots, without sacrificing the interior volume that larger programmes increasingly demand. Where earlier LEKKER models established the formula of purposeful aluminium construction and genuine speed, the 60 adds a level of spatial refinement that moves it convincingly into superyacht-tender and chase-boat territory.
Three deck configurations are offered - open, semi-closed, and fully enclosed - each pairing with L-shape, U-shape, or I-shape seating arrangements. That matrix gives captains and project managers a meaningful choice rather than a cosmetic one: the enclosed variant is a credible foul-weather platform, while the open layout suits warmer-water programmes where deck area and sightlines matter most. Interior design credit goes to Mulder Design, whose brief clearly prioritised natural light through large hull windows and a central staircase that keeps the below-deck space feeling connected rather than confined.
The 4.8-metre beam is competitive for the length, and the choice between inboard and outboard propulsion configurations allows the build to be matched to your programme requirements and tender-garage constraints. At 17.7 metres, the 60 will not fit the majority of garage arrangements, but as a shadow or chase vessel operating independently, the specification is cohesive and the yard's aluminium pedigree well established.
Highlights
The four details we'd point out first to a captain who hasn't seen one on the water yet.
LEKKER's house material is aluminium throughout the range, and the 60 continues that line. Aluminium at this length gives genuine structural stiffness without the weight penalty of steel, and it is a material that survives the working life of a chase or shadow vessel far better than GRP when contact with swim platforms and dock edges is routine.
The manufacturer quotes 50 knots alongside a twenty-four-person seating capacity - a combination that is genuinely useful on a chase programme, where you need both the speed to shadow a sailing yacht upwind and the deck volume to carry guests or crew in comfort. Few aluminium platforms at this length match that pairing.
Open, semi-closed, and fully enclosed variants are offered from the factory, each combinable with L-shape, U-shape, or I-shape seating. That flexibility means one hull specification can be optimised for a Mediterranean summer programme or a Northern European season without requiring structural modification after delivery.
The below-deck space is an interior design commission rather than a builder afterthought. Mulder Design - a respected Dutch naval architecture and design studio - has led the layout, with large hull windows and a central staircase specified to keep natural light moving through the space. This lifts the 60 above day-boat territory into something that works on overnight or extended passages.
Both inboard and outboard configurations are available, which matters when matching the boat to a mothership's davit capacity, stern geometry, or preferred maintenance programme. Outboard configurations simplify haul-out and winterisation; inboard suits owners who want the cleaner transom and lower centre of gravity that a shaft or sterndrive arrangement provides.
