ELLY: wide, bright decks, a jacuzzi forward and a swim platform that meets the sea
ELLY is a power catamaran built by Fountaine Pajot, rounded and asymmetrical in line, and her catamaran form gives her a breadth that shapes everything aboard. Light reaches far into the saloon, which opens onto the aft cockpit, so guests drift between cool shade and open deck without a step to think about. That cockpit is spacious and sociable, with room to dine, talk or stretch out. The outdoor galley sits beside it, with a griddle and an electric barbecue for meals cooked in the open air. Places to sunbathe lie close by for those who would rather lie still.
Up on the flybridge the horizon surrounds you. It is a good place for a cocktail as the sun goes down or for an idle afternoon in the open air. At the other end of the yacht, a lounge at the bow holds a jacuzzi, set apart from the life of the cockpit. Below, the cabins are carefully appointed, and the master suite has the feel of a private apartment: a large dressing room, plus a bathroom in the Italian style with a pair of artisan washbasins. Televisions in the saloon and master cabin, a projector for home cinema, a stereo, board games and unlimited WiFi fill the slower hours.
At anchor, her hydraulic swim platform lowers to the water, making it easy to slip in for a swim, a snorkel or a workout in the sea. The toys are many and suit every age. A Seabob, a kayak, SUP paddle boards, floating mats and noodles are there for gentle hours. Water skis for adults and children, a tube, a towable couch and a wakeboard ride behind her Highfield sport tender for faster ones. A water carpet and an anti-jelly pool give younger swimmers somewhere carefree to play, while fishing gear, a volleyball net and gym equipment complete the list.
Her crew bring warmth and skill to every part of the charter, and they know Greece, its people and its culture deeply. They can arrange outings on land, wine tastings or a morning of activity on the water, and they read the mood aboard to set the rhythm of each day. With a master suite that feels like an apartment, cabins finished with care and toys that range from the gentle to the brisk, ELLY suits a party that wants both quiet comfort and an active day at sea, travelling well wherever her course is set.
