Nowhere in the world is there a yacht just like her... ELEKTRA, proud and beautiful as her Grecian namesake, is a customized 73-foot Ketch. An excellent performer, ELEKTRA is equipped with an abundance of state-of-the-art gear that makes her easy to handle and fun to sail in light or heavy weather. Whether cruising from island to island, or lazily anchored in secluded coves, this yacht is perfectly attuned to the luxury of casual comfort.

Thoughtfully and completely refitted, redecorated and finished in 2002, ELEKTRA offers her guests a range of amenities not found on other boats her size. A hand-rubbed, oiled teak interior glows with traditional warmth against the colorful fabrics and carpeting of the salon, staterooms, and companionways. New cabinetry displays a complete entertainment center with a color TV, VCR, DVD and a wide selection CD library. The salon also features a bar with ice maker. Forward of the salon is a completely separate galley, utility room, work room and crew quarters, allowing guests the privacy and quiet of their quarters aft.

Each of the three comfortable guest staterooms has its own bathroom with separate shower. Two guest staterooms (port and starboard) offer double berths, while the full-width master stateroom aft has a queen-size bed, settee, vanity and LCD TV/DVD’s.

The yacht is fully air conditioned with six individually refrigerated AC units, and there are fans through-out the boat.

On deck, ELEKTRA has a large all-weather cockpit with thickly padded cushions and backrests for comfortable lounging. Take a turn on the wheel and help trim the sails if you like. The large for and aft decks are a sun worshipper's paradise. A built-in, on deck ice box keeps cold drinks always at hand.

For water sports enthusiasts, ELEKTRA offers plenty of toys including water skis, wakeboards, snorkeling gear, and fishing gear. A dinghy ride to shore opens up the possibilities of hiking, shelling, browsing local markets, and experiencing native cultures. From aft-deck barbeques to elegantly presented formal meals to beach picnics, ELEKTRA'S talented, enthusiastic, experienced, personable crew can match your mood and fulfill your charter expectations. They are seasoned sailors and experts on cruising the Caribbean.

The latest rigging and furling gear, navigational electronics, safety equipment, and appliances make ELEKTRA comfortable, easy to handle, and a pleasure to sail. E-Mail and phone systems support your communication needs.
