With her gleaming midnight-blue hull and tall, sleek superstructure, M/Y ELYSIAN cuts a striking profile: one that looks as much at home cruising the world’s remote oceans as berthed in the shadow of Monaco’s glittering skyscrapers. Boasting an exterior design by 26- time award-winner Donald Starkey Designs, the exterior of ELYSIAN has endlessly stylish entertaining spaces over her three decks. Th
e sundeck may well be where you spend much of your days—alternating between relaxing in the oversized whirlpool bath and exercising on the gym equipment while looking out for whales. Perhaps you might like to take a stool at the bar watching the stewardess whip up a cocktail, or sink back on a cushioned deckchair, glass of champagne fizzing softly as your eyes start to close in the warm sunshine. There can be few better places on earth to have sunset drinks and canapés than on the sundeck of ELYSIAN, music playing as the sun sinks into the Caribbean Sea and the skies turn every shade of fire. When the stars start to come out across the sky it’s time for an alfresco dinner party on the upper deck at a beautifully dressed table lit by flickering candlelight, a succession of exquisite meals arriving in perfect symphony with the stunning setting. After dinner you might adjourn to the bank of sofa seating that curves around the stern, playing cards and listening to the water lap on the hull, or hearing the breathy whistle and splash of a dolphin hunting fish in the moonlit sea. Happy days of sunshine and laughter can be spent on ELYSIAN’s unusually large swim platform, where you can launch off on a jet-ski, or step off the tender after an exhilarating dive to be met with a fluffy white towel and a glass of icy-cold Turkish mint tea.
