ELYSIUM is a 28 metre Sanlorenzo, an Italian motor yacht from a yard whose name has become a byword for quiet, considered design, built in 2010 and brought right up to date by a full refit in 2024. She is a three-deck yacht that carries a full party in real comfort, with a rare main-deck master, a separate formal dining room and wide teak decks laid out for the outdoor life. For a family or a group who want to explore the Greek islands together, with twelve guests across five cabins and a crew of six, she is a generous and well kept choice.
Her point of difference is the way she uses her volume. Where many yachts of her length place the owner below, ELYSIUM gives the lead couple a full-beam master on the main deck, and she keeps a separate formal dining room where all twelve guests can sit down to dinner together, a proper indoor room rather than a corner of the salon. It is the layout of a larger yacht, and it changes the feel of a week aboard, giving the group space to gather and to spread out as they please.
Inside, the mood is warm and calm. The main salon runs in glowing timber with wide windows down both sides, low sofas and patterned armchairs gathered around a low table, a bright and generous room lit from three sides. The formal dining room sits behind it beneath a bold artwork, and a further seating area gathers forward with a writing desk by the aft doors, so the main deck offers several different moods across a single level, from open and social to quiet and private.
Accommodation is for twelve guests across five cabins, so ELYSIUM carries a full charter party in comfort. The master is a wide double with a soft headboard and its own bathroom, the forward VIP sits bright beneath a run of skylight windows, and the further cabins run to doubles and a twin, all finished in the same warm timber with their own ensuites. The mix suits several families or a group of friends travelling together, with everyone properly looked after and no shortage of private space.
On deck she is laid out for the long Mediterranean day. The flybridge carries a dining table under a bimini with sun beds and seating around it, the aft deck gives a second shaded dining area a step above the sea, and the foredeck opens into a private sun lounge away from the group. A crew of six run her, a generous number for her size, and the tender and water toys are launched the moment the anchor is down for the hours spent swimming and playing off the yacht.
Her home water is Greece, and she is well matched to it. From the Saronic islands near Athens across to the Cyclades, the anchorages sit close together, the water is clear and the towns come alive after dark for dinner ashore, while her steadiness makes the longer crossings easy. With her main-deck master, her separate dining room and a crew of six, ELYSIUM offers a warm and sociable way to cruise the Greek islands with room for the whole family aboard.
