LADY ELLEN II is an elegant and impressive 48-metre tri-deck motor yacht built by the renowned Italian shipyard CRN and delivered in 1996, an award-winning yacht with an exceptional charter pedigree thanks to her expansive deck spaces and stylish living areas. Formerly named Kanaloa, she has been continually maintained and upgraded over her career, most notably through a transformative rebuild completed in 2015 that won a judges’ commendation in the Rebuilt Yacht category at the World Superyacht Awards 2016. Built on a full-displacement steel hull with an aluminium superstructure, with exterior lines by Paolo Scanu and stabilisers underway, she is a comfortable, sea-kindly and genuinely long-range cruiser, capable of a top speed of around 16 knots and cruising economically at 12 to 14 knots. Her beautiful interior, by the acclaimed Francois Zuretti, is subtle and understated yet exceptional, generating a calm, welcoming ambiance perfect for relaxation, and is finished to the highest standards in cherry wood and burled ash with luxurious neutral fabrics and leather that create warm, elegant and generously proportioned spaces. The main-deck salon features a beautiful seating area and a big library, and a formal dining room aft on the main deck is separated from the other social areas to give a real sense of occasion, with flexible seating for twelve guests or two parties of six, while a further generous salon on the upper deck offers ample sofas, coffee tables and games tables. Life on deck is exceptional across her three excellent exterior decks. The main deck aft leads to the tender area and an extended swim platform for effortless water-toy access, the upper deck aft offers a shaded alfresco dining and lounge option, and the capacious sundeck is a glorious focal point with a deluxe jacuzzi and swim-up bar, huge sunbathing pads, chaise longues, a wet bar and gym equipment shaded beneath the satcom-arch awning. A vast array of water toys completes her offering. Accommodation is arranged for up to 11 guests in six beautifully appointed en-suite cabins, all with entertainment centres and televisions. The full-beam master suite, forward on the main deck, features a king-size bed, a private study and his-and-hers bathrooms, with a further double cabin on the main deck, while the lower deck holds a full-beam VIP suite with a study, a sofa and a walk-in wardrobe and two spacious twin cabins each with a Pullman berth, and a single cabin ideal as a nanny or staff cabin completes the layout, giving a flexible arrangement well suited to families and groups of friends. A professional crew of eleven, who have cruised Greek waters all their lives, ensures relaxed, knowledgeable and highly attentive service throughout. LADY ELLEN II is based in Greece and the eastern Mediterranean, the perfect choice for exploring the beautiful Greek isles from Mykonos and Paros to Corfu, and also cruises the western Mediterranean and Croatia, and offers charter guests a rare combination of an award-winning rebuild, a calm and elegant Zuretti interior, a superb sundeck and three generous deck levels aboard one of the most characterful yachts of her size on the charter market, all at outstanding value.
