The Bestway LaBelle 40 represents the classic Taiwanese-built trawler-style motor yachts that became popular throughout the 1980s for their substantial construction, traditional styling and exceptional use of interior space. Built by Bestway Marine and marketed under several names, the LaBelle combines a solid fiberglass modified-V hull with a deep keel, generous side decks and extensive teak joinery. The design remains popular with cruising owners looking for the accommodations and range of a larger motor yacht in a manageable 40-foot platform.

This 40 LaBelle offers an excellent cruising layout built around a large salon, lower helm, forward guest accommodations and a spacious aft master stateroom. The full-width enclosed aft sundeck creates an outstanding additional living and entertaining area, while the flybridge provides seating for six or more. Twin Volvo Penta TAMD diesels provide economical direct-drive propulsion, complemented by both bow and stern thrusters for maneuverability. The boat has also been extensively equipped for cruising with modern Raymarine navigation electronics, radar, AIS, autopilot, 800 watts of solar, a 600Ah lithium house bank, 3000-watt inverter/charger, Onan generator and multiple dinghy handling options.

TWIN VOLVO PENTA TURBO DIESELS - DIRECT SHAFT DRIVE - BOW & STERN THRUSTERS - ONAN 8KW GENERATOR - 800W SOLAR - 600AH LITHIUM HOUSE BANK - 3000W INVERTER/CHARGER - RAYMARINE AXIOM ELECTRONICS - QUANTUM 2 RADAR - AIS - AUTOPILOT - FULL ENCLOSED AFT SUNDECK - FULL CANVAS ENCLOSURE - NEW SWIM PLATFORM - DUAL DINGHY DAVIT SYSTEMS - TWO STATEROOMS - TWO HEADS - BRIGHTWORK COMPLETED - FULL DETAIL Spring 2026 +++

This particular LaBelle has been thoughtfully upgraded to enhance both extended cruising capability and onboard comfort. Recent improvements include a full canvas enclosure, Vitrifrigo refrigerator, electric heads and new swim platform, while her substantial solar and lithium electrical system provides considerably more off-grid capability than a typical vessel of this vintage. The brightwork has now been completed and the vessel received a full professional detail in Spring 2026, leaving her freshly presented for her next owner. With excellent living space, twin diesel power, dual thrusters and an extensive cruising equipment inventory, this is a particularly well-equipped classic trawler-style motor yacht.

We started with an office conveniently located at the Toronto Outer Harbour Marina in downtown Toronto, only minutes from the bottom of the Don Valley Parkway and Lake Shore Road E. Subsequently we opened an office in Kingston and broker coverage on Georgian Bay and in 2016 we began serving the Vancouver area. Most recently we entered the Montreal, Vancouver Island, Kelowna, Lake Simcoe, Southwestern Ontario and Ottawa yacht market. We have really focused on establishing the best geographic catchment for both yacht sellers and buyers. We know the boat markets across Canada and most importantly we have the connections for buying and selling yachts not just from one location but from many locations. Our yacht brokerage often moves sold boats across the country and also to all points US and Caribbean connecting happy clients with the boat of their dreams. While most brokers focus on listed inventory in their own backyards, we focus on making yacht purchase connections with buyers and sellers across the country and beyond offering our purchasing clients more selection and listings not limited to one geographic area. For sellers it means bringing you more prospects, not just from one city but from across the country. As United City Yachts continues to expand and grow, we invite you to work with us and see the difference we can make to your yacht purchase or sale using our multi-channel approach to marketing yachts.
