ELA

ELA was delivered in 2021 by renowned ship builder Heesen and is ready to welcome charter guests in pristine condition. Her immaculate, contemporary interior design is the work of the renowned Cristiano Gatto. Her open-plan main salon allows guests to flow seamlessly throughout the yacht and socialize together in utmost comfort, while the vast interior rooms and floor-to-ceiling windows accentuate her large interior volume. ELA’s 12 guests are accommodated in six exceptional staterooms, each with plush soft furnishings, a minimalist interior design, and en suite facilities. ELA's six elegant staterooms, comprise a total of almost 350 square metres. The owners' suite is on the main deck forward and features an enlarged 2.20m x 1m en suite double shower framed in Titanium Travertine marble. The remaining five cabins – a full beam VIP, two doubles and two twins – reside on the lower deck. Ombre carpets in the owners’ suite, the lower deck guest suites and the sky lounge – each one in a different colour – echo the tidal motion of powder-soft, sandy-bottom Bahamian waters.

ELA’s interior is a bold and striking exercise in curvaceous organic shapes. Sharp corners are replaced with smooth-edges. Straight lines give way to a natural ergonomic flow of space. And a stark white palette is punctuated with pops of vibrant colour, stainless steel accents and dark wood contrasts. Stained Canaletto and American walnut are the main veneers used for both flooring and walls. Textured leathers and custom carpets by Luxury Pride deliver a tactile experience. Top tier materials, including silk and velvet are paired with leather trims for an unconventional contrast.

The white leather and smart lighting continue outside on the main deck forward where a cinema setup with bright purple scatter cushions, padded flooring and sun loungers gift the ideal starlit movie experience. Gatto’s bespoke curation extends to artworks, linen, glassware, even the perfumes and soaps in each day head and the types of tea served on board.

The spacious sundeck benefits from a six-person Jacuzzi and an abundance of loungers for the sun-worshippers in the group. The sundeck is also home to shaded casual seating and a full-service bar area – a perfect spot on board for happy hours and evening soirees.

For even more fun in the sun, ELA’s sweeping beach club allows for easy access to her collection of inflatables and toys, as well as the warm waters of the cruising grounds. Here, guests will also find comfortable loungers for relaxing in style while taking in the far-reaching views of their destination. When the sun sets, guests can take advantage of ELA’s outdoor cinema for movie nights under the stars.

ELA has an impressive range of 3,750 nautical miles at an average speed of 12 knots. In addition to her collection of toys, ELA has a towed tender that is perfect for day trips, visits ashore, or even water sports. She is powered by MTU engines and benefits from zero-speed stabilizers.
