Australia's newest luxury motoryacht manufacturer, Elandra Yachts, celebrated the launch of its first boat, the Elandra 53 on Saturday, (September 6) with a party on Queensland's Gold Coast.
The party, on the waterfront at Palazzo Versace in Southport, attracted nearly 100 people, with everyone eager to catch first sight of the new boat.
Elandra Yachts Managing Director Luke Durman welcomed guests and provided a brief overview of the company's achievement before the glistening new boat arrived through the darkness of the evening to show off her lines under spotlights. She twirled around and then gently slid into a dock so guests could board and inspect the boat close-up for the first time.
Guests marvelled at the space both in the cockpit and the saloon area. They explored the accommodation spaces and admired the bespoke fixtures and fittings.
The Elandra is now undergoing extensive sea trials to prove performance and to provide clients with the opportunity to experience the boat's capabilities.
The Elandra 53 will be displayed at the Gold Coast Marine Expo from October 17 to 19.
