MOTOR YACHT ELLEE – LEEN 72 TRIMARAN
Hull No. 001 * Owner’s Version * Hybrid Propulsion * Proven Offshore Cruiser
"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever."
-Jacques-Yves Cousteau
Some yachts are built for destinations. Others are built for the journey itself. ELLEE belongs firmly in the latter category.
Never intended as a dockside showpiece, ELLEE was conceived as a true exploration yacht- designed to carry her owners safely, comfortably, and efficiently to distant horizons without compromising on luxury.
Designed by renowned naval architect Bernard Nivelt and developed in collaboration with acclaimed architect, yachtsman, and naval designer Pierre Frutschi, ELLEE embodies a highly refined balance of long-range efficiency, seaworthiness, comfort, and innovative multihull design.
As Hull No. 001 of the LEEN 72 series, ELLEE was created in close collaboration with experienced offshore cruisers seeking a smarter approach to long-range yachting. Their extensive passagemaking knowledge helped shape an owner-operated yacht that combines exceptional efficiency, comfort, and ease of handling for extended voyages.
Far more than a standard production vessel, ELLEE reflects years of real-world cruising experience and thoughtful customization. Every significant decision, from her unique accommodation layout and integrated tender garage to her advanced navigation systems, energy-management solutions, and custom flybridge, was made with safety, efficiency, comfort, and operational simplicity in mind.
Over more than 10,000 nautical miles of proven owner-operated cruising, ELLEE has repeatedly demonstrated the strengths of the LEEN concept: remarkable fuel efficiency, impressive stability, and a level of onboard livability rarely found in a yacht of her size. Her cruising record includes a successful transatlantic crossing and extensive exploration from Europe to Newfoundland, following a route that included France → Portugal → Azores → Bermuda → Bahamas → U.S. East Coast → Nova Scotia → Newfoundland → St. Pierre & Miquelon:
ELLEE is not simply a yacht built to reach destinations; she is a yacht designed to embrace the voyage itself. Combining innovative design, proven offshore capability, and exceptional owner-focused customization, she represents a compelling opportunity for those seeking true long-range cruising independence.
Her name ELLEE, short for Elephant, reflects her owners' deep connection to Africa, conservation, and exploration- values that have shaped not only her identity but also the warm, welcoming atmosphere experienced throughout the yacht.
A YACHT DEFINED BY EXPERIENCE
ELLEE reflects a lifetime of experience on the water. She wasn't just customized after delivery, rather conceived and specified by her original and only owners who have spent decades sailing and cruising internationally, including Pacific and Atlantic passages, commercial yacht deliveries, and extensive exploration throughout North America and beyond. Their objective was not simply to purchase a yacht, but to create a platform capable of safe, comfortable, and efficient long-range cruising.
Every major customization aboard ELLEE reflects that philosophy. From the main-deck owner's suite and integrated tender garage to the energy systems, flybridge configuration, and navigation package, the yacht was refined to improve everyday life aboard while enhancing offshore capability and ease of operation.
The result is a yacht that feels practical, intuitive, and exceptionally well considered- qualities that become increasingly valuable with every mile traveled.
FREEDOM THROUGH EFFICIENCY
The LEEN 72 was conceived as a new generation of long-range cruising yacht, combining the efficiency advantages of a trimaran hull with the flexibility of hybrid propulsion.
ELLEE's slender hulls move efficiently through the water, reducing resistance and lowering fuel consumption compared to many traditional displacement motor yachts. The platform's inherent efficiency contributes to impressive cruising range while maintaining exceptional comfort at sea.
Power is provided by an upgraded Cummins QSL9 410 HP diesel engine working in conjunction with twin Bellmarine electric drives, creating a highly efficient and remarkably flexible propulsion solution. At lower speeds, electric propulsion allows for quiet and efficient operation, while the diesel engine provides reliable passagemaking performance when required.
The LEEN 72 design is recognized for its long-range cruising capability and substantial fuel capacity, making it well suited for offshore passagemaking and extended time away from marina services.
Combined with lithium battery capacity, solar generation, and sophisticated energy-management systems, ELLEE offers the autonomy and efficiency serious cruisers demand.
During the owners' transatlantic crossing, solar charging and battery capacity significantly reduced dependence on generator operation and contributed to the vessel's self-sufficient cruising profile.
A NEW EXPERIENCE OF SPACE
With a 29-foot beam and the unique volume advantages of the trimaran platform, ELLEE delivers a level of comfort and livability more commonly associated with substantially larger yachts.
A defining feature of the yacht is her highly desirable Owner’s Version arrangement. The owner's suite occupies the aft portion of the main deck, benefiting from abundant natural light, excellent visibility, and direct access to the yacht's primary living spaces.
Below, the dedicated starboard hull is reserved exclusively for the owner's facilities, including a dressing area, dual-vanity bathroom, separate shower, and private toilet. The result is a private retreat more reminiscent of a waterfront apartment than a traditional yacht stateroom.
Guest accommodations are thoughtfully separated between the forward center hull and the port float, providing excellent privacy for family and guests while preserving the owner's sanctuary.
The aft center hull is dedicated to a large integrated tender garage, enhancing functionality, storage, and deck organization while further distinguishing ELLEE from conventional accommodations layouts.
SEAMLESS LIVING
Life aboard ELLEE centers around an open and inviting main deck where the salon, dining area, galley, and cockpit function as one integrated living environment.
LEEN's signature seamless cockpit-salon design results in a seamless blending of cockpit and salon into a unified living space. Large windows flood the interior with natural light while maintaining a constant connection to the surrounding seascape.
Forward, the signature fully glazed wheelhouse offers sweeping panoramic sightlines and functions equally well as a navigation center and observation lounge. Direct deck access from the helm further enhances safety and convenience during docking, line handling, and passagemaking.
Numerous custom upgrades further enhance comfort aboard, including enlarged forward salon seating, a glass partition between the galley and wheelhouse, extensive pantry and storage spaces, custom window treatments, a retractable television, premium audio systems, and customizable lighting zones throughout the yacht.
The result is a living environment ideally suited for both extended cruising and life aboard.
ELEVATED OUTDOOR LIVING
One of ELLEE's most impressive features is her extensively customized flybridge.
Protected by a flybridge superstructure supporting integrated solar panels and a removable bimini with carbon fiber posts, the space functions as a true outdoor living room with panoramic views in every direction.
The custom arrangement incorporates a large U-shaped seating area, dedicated dining space, integrated sunpads, custom movable helm seating, and a fully equipped outdoor galley complete with grill, refrigerator, sink, icemaker, storage, and four Valdenassi bar stools.
Whether entertaining guests, enjoying a quiet sunset at anchor, or overseeing a passage from the upper helm, the flybridge offers an exceptional amount of usable outdoor living space rarely found aboard a yacht of this size.
Combined with the spacious cockpit and seamless interior-exterior flow, ELLEE offers a resort-like onboard experience while retaining the practical functionality expected of a serious cruising yacht.
CAPABILITY WITHOUT COMPLICATION
ELLEE was configured from the outset to be confidently operated by knowledgeable owners without the need for full-time crew.
The Dockmate wireless docking system, bow thruster, integrated vessel-management systems, and comprehensive Simrad navigation suite help simplify routine operation while enhancing safety and situational awareness.
Real-time monitoring of navigation data, electrical systems, tanks, batteries, lighting, pumps, and essential onboard systems is available through centralized control interfaces, allowing owners to focus on cruising rather than systems management.
This thoughtful integration of technology and practicality is a defining characteristic of the yacht and contributes significantly to her appeal as a true owner-operated passagemaker.
PROVEN OFFSHORE
Few brokerage offerings can point to such extensive and recent offshore cruising experience.
ELLEE has successfully completed more than 10,000 nautical miles of cruising, including a transatlantic passage from Europe to Bermuda followed by extensive exploration of the Bahamas, the U.S. East Coast, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and surrounding waters.
Throughout these voyages, ELLEE consistently demonstrated the efficiency, comfort, safety, and stability for which the LEEN 72 platform has become known.
Her cruising history provides an uncommon level of confidence for prospective owners seeking a yacht that has already proven her capabilities beyond protected coastal waters.
READY FOR THE NEXT ADVENTURE
Offered fully equipped and comprehensively outfitted for extended cruising, ELLEE represents a rare opportunity to acquire a proven, owner-focused long-range yacht that has already benefited from years of thoughtful refinement and real-world testing.
Combining hybrid efficiency, remarkable living space, offshore capability, and true owner-operator practicality, ELLEE stands apart as one of the most distinctive cruising yachts available today.
More than a yacht, ELLEE is an invitation to travel farther, stay longer, and experience the sea with a level of freedom, comfort, and confidence that few vessels can match.
