Designed to navigate long distances whilst offering guests a selection of generous open spaces and well-appointed accommodation, LEL is an absolute triumph. Her sporty exterior blends seamlessly with contemporary custom-made interiors, delivering enviable charter appeal. It is no wonder that she is rapidly becoming one of the most sought-after yachts for a luxury getaway in the Western Mediterranean.
An outstanding custom 50m (163’1″) Rossinavi, constructed with an aluminium hull and superstructure, LEL cruises at 17 knots, reaching an impressive top speed of 22 knots. Powered by two MTU 12V 2,580kW engines it makes island-hopping a breeze, while she also has an excellent 4,000 nm range for longer adventures. Featuring a stylish exterior and interior design, both by Luca Dini Design & Architecture, she represents a first-time collaboration between this renowned Italian shipyard and the Florence-based studio, successfully delivering a dynamic blend of Italian style at its very best. In addition, LEL’s naval architecture is by Arrabito Naval Architects. This sophisticated charter yacht is virtually brand new, having been launched in 2020, and is maintained in sparkling condition by her professional crew of nine.
LEL accommodates up to 12 guests in 6 luxurious staterooms, including a master suite forward on the main deck, spanning almost the entire 9m width of the hull and an excellent folding balcony to starboard. There is also a very spacious VIP suite adjacent on the main deck. Four additional guest staterooms are located on the lower deck, comprising two VIP doubles, one double and one twin with additional Pullman. Notably the two VIP double staterooms can be merged into one vast VIP suite by closing off the main doorway in the hall if required.
The main saloon delivers a refined ambience with contemporary custom-made pieces, stylish textiles and bespoke finishes that exude timeless elegance. Outside on the main deck aft the large area is equipped with sofas, coffee tables, a bar plus sun loungers for complete relaxation. On the upper deck the spacious alfresco dining veranda can masterfully be transformed into an enclosed area for use during all seasons, thanks to heating and an air-conditioning system in this flexible space. The foredeck provides a large sofa plus coffee tables, with plunge pool and sunbeds to port and starboard. Aft on the popular sundeck are also plenty of sun-loungers, while the central zone is shaded by a hardtop with dining alfresco plus a wet bar, while forward is a large step-in pool with sunbeds.
Taking pride of place, LEL’s award-winning beach club is a work of art. Featuring fold-down transom and side doors, this creates a vast swim platform and relaxation area. When the stern and side doors are lowered, the interior and exterior is combined to form one large entertainment area with a bar plus space where the tender is accommodated. With easy access to the water, fun is catered for to the max with an endless array of water sports equipment to delight guests. Whether wakeboarding, water-skiing or paddleboarding, whizzing along on the inflatables or trying out the Flite Board efoil, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
However, no one knows better how to describe the many qualities on LEL than the captain himself, Michael Graeff, who is delighted to talk about this exceptional vessel first-hand.
“The theme of LEL is very definitely an opportunity to fully connect with the sea” he outlines. “Her beach club certainly allows this and is definitely the most popular place on board for guests. Spacious and versatile, it is no wonder it was given the ‘best of the best beach club’ award – it really is a design gem”.
Time on board for this year has not been such a long season, however Captain Michael describes his enthusiasm for charter “It is a pleasure cruising on board LEL, and I love to introduce charter guests to these truly fabulous cruising grounds. Sardinia is a particular favourite of mine; the cruising is sublime with lots of highlights that guests appreciate. In the Balearics there is so much choice, for instance in Ibiza it is the place to be for parties, but also wonderfully close to the calm surroundings of Formentera for daytime cruising. In Mallorca I recommend Sa Foradada, a picturesque location with great anchorages and spectacular views, whilst in Andraitx the setting seems almost fjordlike and absolutely stunning”.
“The crew and I are very much looking forward to cruising the Mediterranean next year where we will continue to provide fabulous itineraries, excellent service and superb cuisine so that guests leave with the best memories of their special time on board LEL”.
It is evidently clear that with so many impressive facilities to relish and wide variety of areas for dining, entertaining, socialising and relaxing, LEL is truly an impressive charter yacht on which family and friends can spend an exceptional getaway. With her vast sweeping spaces, exceptional crew service and breath-taking design, it seems her reputation will continue from strength to strength.
