Her Story

Ellen is a motor sailer of 40 metres in length and 8 metres in beam, built in 2001 and refitted in 2024. Her draft of 3 metres gives her a settled, unhurried presence on the water, and her proportions suit guests who prefer a calm passage to a fast one. She carries nine guests across four guest cabins, supported by a crew of six, so that the day is shaped around the people aboard rather than the schedule.

Her home port is Monte Carlo, and her cruising waters lie within France. From the Côte d'Azur, she is well placed for the coastline and anchorages that the French Riviera offers, with the flexibility to adjust each day to the weather and to the wishes of those on board.

The 2024 refit brings a contemporary standard to a vessel with a established build history. Her cabins, public spaces and systems have been brought up to date, allowing her to combine a classic sailing character with the comfort expected of a luxury charter.

Ellen suits a family or a small group of friends who value privacy, space and attentive service. Nine guests can settle into a yacht of this scale without feeling crowded, and the crew of six ensures that every detail of the charter is handled quietly and with care.

Comfort and Time on the Water

Ellen's amenities have been chosen to make the time between ports as pleasant as the destinations themselves. Her 2024 refit has renewed the vessel throughout, giving guests a well-appointed environment for dining, relaxing and gathering at the end of a day on the water.

Her crew of six attends to each aspect of the charter, from the rhythm of meals to the arrangement of the deck. Guests are invited to make the most of the space and the sailing character of the vessel, with the reassurance that every practical need is in hand.
