Huntress

With silent chines incorporated into the topsides just above the loaded waterline and one planing strake per side, the hull gives a dry soft ride in all sea conditions. Silent chines have been a feature of Elite Motor Yachts for some time; their position eliminates chine slap at rest making the hull totally silent. At speed, the wash is turned down and out from the hull keeping the vessel dry.

Maximum beam has been kept across the aft chines, providing a stable fishing platform and below the water line, the full width of the transom is chamfered forward; this greatly assists when backing down by generating lift and, additionally, turns water down and away to prevent flooding of the cockpit. 

Powered with twin MTU 1200hp engines, the propellers are in tunnels to reduce shaft angle and overall draft, which increases efficiency, and with 8000-plus litre fuel tanks, Huntress has the entire Pacific as her fishing and cruising playground. 

As with all our custom built boats, interior fit out is to the owner's specifications; internal stairs to the fly-bridge, al-fresco dining area with a large electric window that lowers to give uninterrupted connection with the galley, day head off the cockpit, built in coffee machine and dark stained oak cabinetry are just some of her bespoke features.

The interior décor on Huntress was designed by Sarah Nathan.
