In partnership with Ikonic Yachts, Lekker Boats is proud to introduce the all-new LEKKER 45 to the United States market. Under this official partnership, Ikonic Yachts will represent both the acclaimed LEKKER 44 and the new-build LEKKER 45 nationwide.

Statement from Ikonic Yachts CEO
"We are thrilled to partner with LEKKER Boats and bring their exceptional vessels to the American market," said AJ Blackmon, CEO of Ikonic Yachts. "LEKKER has built an outstanding reputation in Europe for creating aluminum performance dayboats that perfectly blend speed, comfort, and stunning design. These boats are ideally suited for the South Florida and Bahamas market, where their shallow draft, fuel efficiency, and entertaining-focused layouts really shine. We're also seeing tremendous interest from the superyacht community, as the LEKKER 44 and 45 make exceptional yacht tenders. They're fast enough to keep up with motherships, tough enough for daily use, and stylish enough to complement any luxury yacht. This partnership allows us to offer our clients something truly unique in the American market."
Introducing the all-new Lekker 45
The all-new LEKKER 45 marks a bold evolution of LEKKER's acclaimed platform, delivering 20% more interior space while preserving the sleek, performance-driven profile that has made the brand a favorite among European boaters. This next-generation model brings refined design, enhanced functionality, and unmistakable presence to the water.
Key improvements include a 1-foot extension to the swim platform (now 1.6 meters), 34 strategically placed cupholders, the new iconic X-grille design, step-in bulkwalk for easy access, and an enlarged aluminum hardtop. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6-480 DPI sterndrives (480hp each), the LEKKER 45 comes fully loaded with premium features including Seakeeper gyro stabilization, Webasto air conditioning, electric hi-lo tables, dual 19-inch Garmin screens with cinema package, and even Starlink satellite connectivity.
Offered at €1,550,000, this LEKKER 45 is finished in striking RAL7024 Graphite Grey, paired with Coconut cushions and Biscuit teak with black seams. Buyers have the rare opportunity to customize select options and finishes while bypassing the typical 18-24 month build timeline. Scheduled for delivery in October 2025, this yacht presents a unique chance for American buyers to be among the first in the United States to own the all-new LEKKER 45.

What Makes Lekker Different
Founded in the Netherlands, LEKKER Boats has earned international acclaim for its distinctive approach to performance boat building. The company's commitment to lightweight aluminum construction delivers exceptional fuel efficiency and handling characteristics while reducing environmental impact. LEKKER's "social design" philosophy emphasizes creating spaces that bring people together, with thoughtfully designed seating areas, sunbeds, and entertainment zones that make every day on the water memorable.
Unlike traditional fiberglass boats, LEKKER's welded aluminum hulls offer superior durability, easier maintenance, and better resale value. The boats' distinctive styling which is characterized by clean lines, functional design, and attention to detail—has made them instantly recognizable on European waterways and is now turning heads in American marinas.
