Ella 53 FT

Discover the luxury and elegance of this magnificent yacht through our comprehensive photo gallery

SY Ella is a Silkline 530, one of only four ever built, and at 53 feet the largest yacht in the fleet. Built in aluminium in France and refitted in 2024, she is designed for space and for the heat.

Large opening windows and wide doors lead onto a big shaded cockpit, and 8 cm of insulation in the roof and walls keeps the inside cool. The cockpit table seats 8 and the saloon seats 9. Two large trampolines have room for 15 people on each side, with up to 10 beanbags.

Ella suits larger groups and celebrations, and is comfortable with up to 35 guests. She sails half and full days to Coral Island, Maiton, Racha Yai, the Khai islands and along Phuket’s south coast, with snorkelling gear, a paddleboard and a kayak included.
