the boat
Elan is a custom built 46′ catamaran designed by the world renowned, multihull design firm of Morrelli and Melvin. She was engineered to travel anywhere in the world with speed, grace and safety while providing spacious, comfortable accommodations in the private cabins, common areas, cockpit and decks. Come aboard. Enjoy the ocean. Learn the lifestye!
The Salon
Spacious and open, the salon provides a bright, comfortable place to enjoy a meal, watch a movie or simply to relax and read. It is directly connected to the aft deck area so you are only a few steps away from the outdoor activities.
The Galley
Simple yet complete, Elan’s galley is equipped with all of the tools and equipment to provide you with delicious meals and snacks during your stay. Guests are encouraged to help prepare meals to learn the nuances of cooking aboard as well as learning about food storage, the timing and usage of certain foods and alternatives to meal preparation where you may not have all of the ingredients or tools that you are used to on land.
Guest Suite
Cabin 2 is Elan’s main guest suite with plenty of light and ventilation to enjoy the ocean breezes and rest comfortably. Cabin 2 is located forward in the starboard hull and includes a queen sized bed, private, attached head and plenty of storage for your things. On the outboard side of the cabin there are large windows which provide a great view of the anchorage and surroundings wherever you might be.
Quarter Berth
Cabin 3 sits comfortably in the aft portion of the starboard hull and is perfect for a one adult or two smaller children. Much like cabin 2, there is plenty of ventilation for sleeping and large windows for light and an expansive view to the beautiful outdoors.
Foredeck
The foredeck is the perfect place to take in some sun, look at the surroundings, read a book or simply relax. The trampoline area up front is a definite favorite under sail while watching the ocean pass peacefully under you …as long as you don’t mind a splash or two along the way.
Cockpit / Aft Deck
The cockpit and aft deck are the outside living areas of Elan. It’s the place where the crew most often gather whether under way or at anchor. Both are spacious and comfortable, easily sitting 8 people or more, shaded and yet always open to the ocean breezes. From the aft deck it is only a few steps down either of the sugar scoop transoms to the water for a swim, snorkel or whatever your pleasure.
Why Sail with Elan?
The crew provides their customers with a very unique experience where they can literally tailor their stay to their own desires. Would you like to see what an overnight passage and sailing at night feels like or do you want to spend all of your time day sailing and being anchored in a beautiful spot each night? It’s entirely up to you. This is YOUR week and the crew of Elan are here to make it a trip to remember!
