Le Kir Royal is a classic full-displacement motor yacht built by Van Den Akker in 1966, offering a timeless blend of elegance, seaworthiness, and long-range cruising capability. At 30 meters (98.43 ft) in length, with a steel hull, aluminum superstructure, and teak decks, she combines traditional craftsmanship with key modern upgrades.
Powered by twin Gardner 8L3B engines, each producing 230 HP, Le Kir Royal cruises efficiently at 8 knots with a maximum speed of 9 knots, delivering an impressive range of 4,000 nautical miles. With 14700 engine hours logged and next overhaul due at 32,000 hours, the engines remain in excellent working condition — a testament to the legendary reliability of Gardner diesels.
She accommodates 8 guests in 4 well-appointed cabins, supported by 4 crew cabins for a complement of up to 6 crew. The interior is designed for comfort, featuring modern entertainment systems including Samsung Smart TVs, Apple TV, Chromecast, Plex, and a premium 10-speaker sound system — all supported by Starlink and Peplink internet systems for global connectivity.
Key technical features include:
Wesmar stabilizers (2018) for cruising and at anchor
Wesmar bow thruster (2018)
ZF engine control system and Gardner gearbox
Three generators: 2 × 33 kW Kohler, 1 × 13.5 kW Onan
