ELLEN Sailing yacht for charter

A walk along ELLEN’s teak decks will help you take in the scale, quality and beauty of this exemplary 40.4m (132.5ft) Perini Navi cutter-rigged ketch. Launched in 2001, ELLEN has undergone many refits and her last, a cosmetic refit in 2021, has left her looking immaculate. It’s time to unfurl her sails, and you can fully appreciate the power of nature propelling this stunning yacht.

From the shelter of the guest cockpit, you and your guest can enjoy leisurely hours watching the sea pass by. To the rear is a C-shaped seating area, while ahead is the al fresco dining area – sheltered by the shade of the sundeck above. Keen sailors will appreciate the instrument display that lets them know at a glance how fast ELLEN is sailing. While the lower cockpit offers sea-level views, moving up the spiral staircase ahead of the dining area will lead you to the wonderful elevated sun deck.

­­After ascending the stairs, behind, you’ll see the spacious sunpad with plump seatbacks to provide the utmost comfort. Ahead of this is an al fresco lounge with deep-cushioned inboard-facing seating. Forward of this is the ELLEN’s exterior helm position.

Once the anchor is set, you and your guests can make the most of ELLEN’s watersports equipment. There are waterskis, towable inflatables, SeaBobs, wakeboards, and kayaks to try your hand at.

From the guest cockpit, you’ll enter the lounge; images of sailing ships, detailed wood panelling, and leather sofas give a classic rich feel to the space, while the generously sized windows provide view and light in abundance. Moving forward, you’ll pass the stairs that lead to the wheelhouse before you enter the dining room. It’s here that ELLEN’s professional chef will delight you and your guests with the fine dining cuisine of your choice. To port is the formal dining area – with a grand elliptical dining table, while to starboard is an L-shaped dining dinette.

When the digestifs dwindle for the evening, your party can descend to the lower deck and their private guest suites. Aft of the dining room is your master suite, which has a private lounge and office space, a double suite, and a twin-berth suite. A twin-berth cabin with bunk berths is ahead of the dining room. All of these delightful wooden-panelled cabins have en suite bathrooms.

The following day, you can have breakfast on deck before letting the wind carry this fabulous yacht away for another delightful day at sea.
