00:00Oh hi, this is Bill Springer, Senior Contributor at Forbes and I'm here at the Fort Lauderdale
00:07Boat Show on board Ella, Hayson 50 meter with Fast Displacement Hull.
00:12Just wait till you see what the rest of the yacht has to offer.
00:24Today we're on board Ella, she's a 164 foot yacht built by Hayson Yachts with a Fast Displacement
00:28Hull, Omega exterior designer, interior was done by Christian Legato.
00:33Really amazing attention to detail, but let's take you through the yacht.
00:36You'll notice the windows on both sides in the aft and next to the dining room here are
00:41floor to ceiling, so you get a lot of natural light.
00:43Also the bulwarks are open so you can see all the way through to the ocean, so just
00:47imagine being in the Bahamas at anchor, I mean it's a great setting.
00:52As we walk through here, we have a day head to the starboard side.
00:56The owner's entrance, nice beautiful landing, you can get down to the guest areas from here
01:00and you can get up to the pilot house and the bridge deck seating area for dining.
01:07Walking through to the starboard side, we come to the owner's main deck.
01:11There's a partition here so if somebody wants to have a private meeting or some privacy
01:14they can close off over here.
01:18And all the way forward we have the master, floor to seating window, so a lot of natural
01:23light.
01:24As we're in a boat show, so you're still going to see the crew walking around, cleaning the
01:27windows, getting everything prepared.
01:29We have walk-in closets, both port and starboard with additional closet space on the insides
01:34and down on the passageway here.
01:36That again is the master.
01:37Down below we have a VIP and four other cabins.
01:40Two of the two cabins mirror each other, there's twins and pullmans in the center ones and
01:44on the aft we have two queens.
01:46And then all the way aft, just in front of the engine room, we have a gym area.
01:51You've got access to the aft deck, you've got a sauna here, a head and a shower.
01:56So once you're done with your gym session, you can rinse off and head out.
01:59So you've got the bridge all the way forward, just to the port side.
02:06You have access to the galley, so from a service standpoint, the crew can come out, obviously
02:10you can sit here and have a cocktail.
02:11Easy access to the dining area.
02:13Another really nice area here, floor to seating windows.
02:17Great view from this deck.
02:25We're on the aft deck here, another really nice formal seating area.
02:28Great for family style with the lazy Susan in the center.
02:31From this deck we can transition up to the flybridge where there's a nice hot tub, another
02:34big area for entertaining.
02:39That's it.
02:40That's the boat for entertaining.
