Yacht Description
Big boat, easy living. LADY ELAINE is a 163-foot Christensen motor yacht built in 2008 and refit in 2018 (with a further refit listed for 2024). She sleeps 12 guests in 6 cabins, so you can bring the full group without playing musical staterooms.
Two jacuzzis, no waiting. There is a deck Jacuzzi for the social crowd, plus a Jacuzzi in the primary cabin when you want quiet. Add stabilizers for a calmer ride and an elevator linking decks, and the day runs smoothly even when not everyone is on the same schedule. Nice.
Skylounge = grown-up zone. The full-width skylounge sets up well for evenings with a sunken bar, multiple seating areas, and three high-definition TVs with surround sound. There is also an extra-wide al fresco dining table for 12 on the skylounge aft, so dinner does not need to be a two-seating operation.
Toys that get used. Expect proper water time with 4 waverunners, 3 Seabobs, a waterslide, wakeboard, paddleboards, kayaks, snorkeling gear, and a 37’ (11.2m) Intrepid tender (2020) for fast trips to and from the action. Underwater lights under the swim platform help keep the after-dark swim crew entertained.
