Contemporary Luxe at Sea

Refined to perfection; its rich golden hues that contrast with bespoke lime bar stools by Glyn Peter Machn, bold structures, and flamboyant light fixtures, all marry to create a contemporary living space like no other. Glass panels offer an airy play with space, whilst flashes of citrus adorn the interior space made more ideal by the 16 crew members who offer a seamless charter experience unrivaled.

Life on Deck

Large exterior deck space distinguishes Elysian as a charter choice for the outdoors, idyllic for relaxed gatherings with family, or entertaining friends for lazy summer evenings dining al fresco, with dining space aft on both the bridge and main decks.

Begin your day soaking up the sun on its open plan sun deck, where a large jacuzzi is complimented by sunpads, sun loungers and cocktail bar for mixology on tap, or reside to its state-of-the-art gym equipment as you overlook melting sunsets.

Endless Entertainment
