M.Y. Ela

ELA is a 50-meter motor yacht that redefines the standards of elegance, performance, and efficiency in the superyacht world. Delivered by Heesen Yachts in 2021, this stunning vessel embodies cutting-edge naval architecture and intelligent engineering—hallmarks of the Heesen legacy. Built with precision and sophistication, ELA is designed to provide an extraordinary yachting experience, combining high speed, superior fuel efficiency, and remarkable comfort in all sea conditions.

Her FDHF hull—a revolutionary design developed by Dutch hydrodynamicists Van Oossanen—has been expertly crafted by Heesen's in-house naval architects to deliver unmatched performance. With her shallow draft and a displacement of just 320 tons, ELA boasts one of the most efficient hull forms in her class. Constructed from lightweight aluminium to the highest tolerances, she glides effortlessly through the water, offering both impressive speed and fuel efficiency across all speeds. With a cruising speed of 12 knots and a top speed of 19.5 knots, she is engineered for both long-distance cruising and high-performance exhilaration.

Her sleek, contemporary profile, designed by Omega Architects, is defined by a long waterline, sweeping lines, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that seamlessly blend the interior with the ocean views. A distinctive, gently reversed stem with spray rails gives ELA her unique and instantly recognizable silhouette, elevating her aesthetic to match her performance.

Step inside and experience the serene luxury created by renowned designer Cristiano Gatto, whose interior design invites relaxation and tranquility after an adventurous day at sea. The space is thoughtfully curated, with bespoke furniture in organic shapes that seamlessly blend with sophisticated, carefully chosen designer pieces. The natural warmth of walnut veneers, soft matt finishes, and a custom-designed, hand-tufted carpet by Luxury Pride create an inviting and peaceful environment. Every detail on board has been meticulously designed to offer an ambiance that is both intimate and refined.

With a beam of 9.09 meters and a draft of 2.15 meters, ELA offers exceptional stability and onboard comfort. The yacht accommodates up to 14 guests in exquisite luxury, with 9 crew members, including the captain, ensuring impeccable service at all times. Her aluminium hull and aluminium superstructure provide both strength and style, making her a true marvel of engineering.

Beyond her technical prowess and stunning design, ELA also boasts an impressive range of 3,750 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots, allowing her to explore distant horizons without compromise. With a fuel capacity of 45,000 liters and 16,000 liters of fresh water, she is more than equipped for extended voyages in absolute comfort and style.

ELA is the epitome of Heesen’s commitment to creating yachts that are not only technologically advanced but also luxuriously appointed and incredibly efficient. This is a yacht designed for those who demand the highest levels of performance, comfort, and aesthetic beauty.
