ELKI4

ELKI4 carries the mark of Dellapasqua, an Italian yard whose motor yachts have long been built for the realities of Mediterranean cruising rather than for the dock. Launched in 1990 and given a full refit in 2023, this 13-metre (42ft) yacht combines a hull with genuine sea time behind it and interiors brought back up to current standards. At this size, the appeal is immediacy. You step aboard, the lines come off, and within minutes you are in open water — no long transfers, no logistics, just the coastline unfolding at your own pace. It is the format that suits a day of swimming and lunch at anchor, or a short cruise between two ports, better than any larger platform. She welcomes up to 6 guests; your BellaYacht advisor will confirm the exact cabin configuration for your dates. A crew of two runs the yacht — a scale of service where nothing is anonymous. The captain knows the anchorages worth the detour and reads the weather before it shows on the water, while service on board stays attentive without ever feeling staged. Your preferences on timing, itinerary and table are settled with them directly, and adjusted as the week goes on. For charterers who value a well-kept yacht and easy access to the coast over sheer volume, ELKI4 makes a straightforward case.
