Fortune Elephant: A Testament to New Zealand's Yacht Craftsmanship

In the late 1990s, Alloy Yachts, celebrated for their innovative use of aluminum and luxury yacht design, embarked on a project that would highlight their engineering expertise and dedication to custom excellence: the creation of Fortune Elephant. Launched in 1997 from their Auckland shipyard, this 35.05-meter motor yacht stands as the sole Sheerline 115 model ever constructed, marking her as a distinctive presence in the superyacht category.

Design and Performance: Redefining Excellence

Fortune Elephant was crafted by the esteemed Warwick Yacht Design team, who oversaw everything from naval architecture to interior aesthetics. Her sleek, planing aluminum hull and superstructure offer not only lightweight durability but also remarkable speed and efficiency. With twin MTU diesel engines producing a total of 5,200 horsepower, she can achieve a top speed of 28 knots and cruise comfortably at 25 knots, surpassing many peers in the 35-40 meter range. Her range of 1,900 nautical miles at 10 knots allows for extensive voyages without compromise, while her 7.4-meter beam provides ample interior space (280 GT), exceeding the norm for yachts in her class.

Luxury and Comfort: A Haven on Water

Inside, Fortune Elephant is designed for both relaxation and entertainment. She accommodates up to 12 guests in 6 suites, with 5 crew members ensuring every need is met. The yacht's interior, finished to the highest standards, features spacious living areas, advanced entertainment systems, and amenities like air conditioning and a teak deck for ultimate comfort.
