05 · About 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. The open-plan main salon allows guests to flow seamlessly throughout the yacht and socialize in utmost comfort, while the vast interior rooms and floor-to-ceiling windows accentuate her spacious volume. ELA accommodates 12 guests in six exceptional staterooms, each with plush soft furnishings, minimalist interior design, and en suite facilities, totaling almost 350 square meters. The owner's suite is located forward on the main deck 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 with Pullman berths—are situated on the lower deck. Ombre carpets in the owner’s suite, lower deck guest suites, and the sky lounge—each in a different color—echo the gentle ebb and flow of Bahamian waters.
ELA’s interior boasts bold, curvaceous organic shapes, replacing sharp corners with smooth edges and creating a natural ergonomic flow of space. The stark white palette is punctuated by vibrant colors, stainless steel accents, and dark wood contrasts. Stained Canaletto and American walnut veneers grace the flooring and walls, complemented by textured leathers and custom carpets from Luxury Pride for a tactile experience. High-quality materials like silk and velvet, paired with leather trims, create an unconventional yet luxurious contrast.
Outside on the main deck forward, guests can enjoy a cinema setup with bright purple scatter cushions, padded flooring, and sun loungers—an ideal setting for starlit movie experiences. Gatto’s bespoke curation extends to artworks, linen, glassware, perfumes, soaps in each day head, and the types of tea served onboard.
The spacious sundeck features a six-person Jacuzzi, an abundance of sun loungers, shaded casual seating, and a full-service bar area—perfect for daytime relaxation and evening soirees. ELA’s sweeping beach club offers easy access to inflatables, toys, and the warm cruising waters, with comfortable loungers for relaxing while enjoying expansive views of their destination. As night falls, guests can gather on the foredeck for movie nights under the stars with ELA’s outdoor cinema.
The aft lower deck features a luxurious wellness area, complete with a newly equipped gym featuring two spinning bikes and state-of-the-art training tools, alongside a soothing sauna.
ELA boasts an impressive range of 3,750 nautical miles at an average speed of 12 knots. In addition to her collection of toys, ELA includes a towed tender perfect for day trips, shore visits, or water sports. Powered by MTU engines and equipped with zero-speed stabilizers, ELA ensures a smooth and comfortable journey.
