About Luxury Crewed Motor Yacht ELA
ELA is a Heesen Home 5000 FDHF delivered in 2021, purpose-built for discerning charterers seeking a private Caribbean base with serious capability. Her layout accommodates twelve guests across six cabins (one master suite, one VIP, two double, two twin), each with ensuite facilities. The yacht combines naval architecture with contemporary interiors designed for both intimate gatherings and larger entertaining.
The vessel's refined exterior offers multiple social spaces. The foredeck features cushioned sun beds with unobstructed views; the aft deck accommodates dining with full catering from an accomplished galley; the flybridge serves as a private lounge for cocktails and conversation. Interior spaces are appointed for daytime entertaining and evening retreats alike.
A dedicated crew of ten, led by Captain Troy, manages all navigation, vessel operations, and provisioning. The onboard chef crafts menus to your specification. This structure frees you entirely to focus on your voyage and your guests.

The Charter Experience
Charter ELA through the Leeward Islands, British Virgin Islands, or winter bases in the Bahamas and US Virgin Islands. Typical operations begin in St Barths or Tortola, allowing seamless access to anchorages at Anegada, Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, and Norman Island. The crew develops a fully personalised itinerary reflecting your preferences for pace, ports, and activities. Days balance exploration, beach stops, and private anchorages; evenings pivot toward onboard gatherings or quiet moments at sea.
Suggested Itinerary
A seven-day Leeward Islands itinerary might begin with departure from St Barths, progressing through the BVI anchorages (Anegada, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, Norman Island) with customised water activities, private beach landings, and onboard dining. Winter charters extend to the Bahamas and US Virgin Islands, opening additional cruising grounds. The crew tailors each day around your interests, whether that favours active water sports, leisurely island exploration, or seamless entertaining at anchor.
