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.
