 Full Description – 2010 Elling E4 Ultimate “Akela”

Overview

“Akela” is a stunning example of the Dutch-built Elling E4 Ultimate, delivered new in 2010 by Neptune Marine Shipbuilding in Aalst, Netherlands. Combining long-range efficiency with super-yacht-level engineering, this model was conceived to deliver true CE Category A (Ocean) performance in comfort and style.

With her Volvo Penta D6-435 main engine and Volvo D1-30 auxiliary wing engine, Akela is a genuine twin-engine passagemaker capable of both transoceanic range and shallow-water access. Her semi-displacement hull, low 4-ft draft, and robust Twaron®-reinforced composite construction make her equally at home in the open sea or inland waterways.

Currently located in Cadiz, Spain, and flagged in Seychelles, Akela benefits from VAT-free status within the EU for up to 18 months — an ideal opportunity for a European or international buyer.

Accommodations

The Elling E4’s intelligent layout offers the comfort and privacy of a much larger yacht.

Below deck are three cabins: a full-beam master amidships with ensuite head, a forward VIP cabin, and a versatile side cabin that doubles as an office or single guest room.

The saloon is bright and airy, featuring large panoramic windows and a sliding sunroof for natural ventilation. A full galley sits down a half-level, equipped with refrigerator, freezer, microwave, oven, dishwasher, and ample storage for long-term cruising.

High-quality cherrywood cabinetry, fine upholstery, and attention to acoustic insulation create a quiet, refined interior environment.

Powered by the Volvo Penta D6-435 common-rail diesel engine (1,764 hrs), Akela cruises efficiently at 7 knots, consuming roughly 0.25 gal per nautical mile, and reaches a top speed of 17 knots when needed.
