When considering the very large yachts, the question of quality may seem redundant. Some will think that every shipyard will deliver the same level of quality and finishes. Yet when considering the sales of superyachts over the last 2 years, the price of large yachts varies outstandingly depending not only on the yard and year. ELYSIAN sold for over $50 million just two years ago, making her one of the top 10 sales of the year. As a comparison, the 59m Lady Luck, built by Benetti also in 2009, sold for an asking price of $35 million. So what makes the difference between these two sales, and what justifies the premium pricing of ELYSIAN?
The first thing to highlight is that Elysian is a yacht like no others. Built in 2009, she is the last of a prestigious series of design by Donald Starkey. She is built on a proven platform and incorporate the accumulated experience of her three sister ships. The level of engineering onboard Elysian is simply outstanding. A small example of the functionalities the yacht offers is the dedicated water tank for the on-deck spa. This allows the fill up the spa within minutes but also not to limit the use of waters for the guests.
While her engineering is an aspect that commands the premium pricing of Elysian, the real work of art is her interior. Designed by Bannenberg, the interior of Elysian belongs in an Art-Basel. Every detail, every panel, and every furniture are thought after and create a unique feel onboard. The stainless steel staircase is simply outstanding and the bar on the upper deck is fitted with retro lighted glass panel.
Finally, the yacht is very versatile, with two guest suites down below that can be converted into a massive VIP suite. This is making ELYSIAN the ideal charter yacht. If you want to learn more about ELYSIAN, contact our Charter Brokers.
