A bold new custom build is taking shape with the construction of this 13.5m Elite Express Sports Cruiser.

Showcasing a contemporary profile with a near-plumb bow and crisp, angular styling, this design offers a fresh interpretation of the Elite cruising experience. The efficient hull form not only enhances the vessel’s presence on the water but also creates exceptional interior volume, accommodating a generous three-cabin arrangement forward.

Propulsion is provided by a single 600hp Cummins engine, delivering an anticipated cruising speed of 22 knots with impressive fuel efficiency.

Designed around the owner’s vision, the vessel incorporates a range of bespoke features that set it apart. Integrated solar panels on the saloon roof will assist with onboard energy requirements, while twin sliding hatches provide abundant ventilation and natural light.

This unique project promises to be a standout addition to the Elite fleet, with launch scheduled for mid-2027.
