Alexander Marine's superyacht and global yacht acquisition division are pleased to present the 2021 Heesen 50M Aluminium FDHF 'Ela' to our Australian & New Zealand market.

'Ela' stands out as a remarkable yacht, featuring an advanced Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) designed by Van Oossanen Naval Architects. Her elegant exterior, crafted by Omega Architects, and her construction by the esteemed Dutch shipyard Heesen Yachts.

The demand for expedition and explorer superyachts has soared in recent years, with lengthy wait times for new vessels of this calibre. Seize this rare opportunity to acquire this one-of-a-kind luxury yacht.

What truly sets 'Ela' apart for chartering is her exceptional layout featuring two commanding full-beam cabins. The full-beam master suite on the main deck and the equally impressive full-beam VIP cabin provide unparalleled luxury and space, making this yacht particularly well-suited for chartering with two families. These spacious cabins ensure that guests enjoy a high level of privacy and comfort, enhancing the overall charter experience. With these standout features, 'Ela' offers a unique and highly desirable option for those seeking both luxury and practicality on the water.

The supersize swim platform is large enough to comfortably fit multiple sun loungers with room to spare, it also features a mechanical/submersible swim platform for added waterside fun! Wide centreline stairs lead to the aft deck featuring two settees set around a coffee table to port and starboard.

Stepping into the saloon where the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows illuminate the space with natural light and guarantee that no one will miss the spectacular sea views and accompanying scenery on all decks. The interior design is by renowned designer Cristiano Gatto, who has created an intimate and tranquil ambiance to help guests unwind after an active day at sea. The warm walnut veneers, bespoke furniture, soft matt finishes and a custom-designed, hand-tufted carpet by Luxury Pride create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere on board. To port is a L-shaped lounge facing a cabinet complimented by a large integrated TV for all your entertainment needs. Dining onboard 'Ela' seamlessly integrates with the main saloon, creating a cohesive and versatile living space. The design is both formal and inviting, providing an ideal setting for gourmet meals and special occasions. The beautifully crafted dining table seats up to twelve guests, serving as the main focal point of the room.

The large midship galley on the main deck is designed with both functionality and elegance in mind. The spacious layout allows the chef and kitchen staff to work efficiently with top-of-the-line appliances, ample counter space and storage areas including high-quality finishes, ensuring a clean and modern look that complements the yacht's luxurious interior.

'Ela' offers luxurious accommodation for up to twelve guests across six elegantly appointed staterooms. The master suite, located on the main deck, serves as a private oasis designed to provide the utmost comfort and luxury. This full beam master suite features expansive panoramic windows that flood the space with natural light and offer breathtaking views. The centerpiece of the master suite is a lavish king-sized island bed, complementing this, the suite includes a private study, perfect for those who need a quiet space to work. The ensuite bathroom features a double shower, a large vanity and two heads.

The main lobby is another architectural centerpiece with its glass-fronted cantilevered grand staircase that connects to the lower deck and wheelhouse deck. The additional five staterooms, situated on the lower deck, are equally impressive, each designed with meticulous attention to detail. These include a full beam VIP stateroom, two spacious double cabins and two twin cabins, each with their own ensuite facilities. There is even space left over for a large gym and sauna that allows guests to maintain their fitness regimes or help detox and regenerate. For added convenience, a head and separate shower stall is located within the gym.

The upper deck offers alfresco dining for a full complement of guests with wrap-around lounge seating overlooking the stern. The skylounge on the same deck level is the perfect chill out zone featuring a bar, games table, and cosy lounge for watching TV. The helm station offers a commanding view of the surroundings, ensuring optimal visibility for navigation. The layout is ergonomic, with all controls and instruments easily accessible to the captain and crew.

As night sets in, the bow on the upper deck can be transformed into an open-air cinema with a built-in projector and a screen mounted on the valve.

The yacht's sundeck offers a bar with a backlit courtside crystal bar top, an array of sun lounges, shaded seating and dining area and an aft jacuzzi perfect for enjoying the sun, sea breezes and stunning views from high above water.

Her aluminum hull provides strength and durability while maintaining a lightweight structure for enhanced efficiency. Powered by twin MTU 12V 2000 M72 diesel engines, each delivering 1448 HP, she comfortably cruises at 12 knots and reaches a maximum speed approaching 19 knots from her 45,000 litre fuel tanks. 'Ela' is equipped with Naiad zero-speed fin stabilisers for a smooth and stable experience both at anchor and underway.
