Elan’s Chief Designer Igor Zupan stated: “After years of research and design, we are honored to announce a new concept in yacht design. The GT series combines the best design and construction techniques from Elan’s award-winning high-performance yachts with the advantages of larger vessels. In terms of design, performance, safety, and comfort, the GT series is truly unique in the market.”
GT5 to be launched this fall
The GT series will initially launch with the 41-foot GT5. This yacht is based on the latest version of Elan’s high-performance S5 series. The first GT5 yacht will set sail this autumn.
Exceptional design and ease of handling
The GT5 is designed with a focus on crew efficiency, allowing the yacht to be operated by just two people. Controls for lines and halyards are positioned at the helm, creating a rope-free cockpit that ensures maximum comfort and safety.
In addition to the swim platform, the onboard galley can be equipped with a refrigerator, grill, and other amenities commonly found on larger yachts. The GT5 cabin is designed for gatherings with family and friends, offering ample seating and various innovative table options. The sleek deck design ensures quick and safe movement, and the spacious sunbathing area on the foredeck comes with dedicated cushions.
Luxurious and comfortable interiors
The space below deck is uniquely arranged among yachts of its class. Elan’s design team has implemented a reverse layout, placing the galley at the front to make optimal use of space, providing maximum comfort and innovative communal areas. The galley offers abundant storage, and each owner can also order a custom corner layout. The upper deck communal space provides a bright, airy living area with over two meters of headroom.
The GT5 offers two or three cabin interior layout options, including a bathroom with a separate shower or an additional bathroom in the bow, giving owners a choice of two bathrooms.

Benefiting from the outstanding sailing equipment design of Humphreys Yacht Design inspired by the "VOLVO OCEAN RACE" yachts, Elan integrates features of top-tier competitive vessels such as dual rudders, high-performance T-keels, wave-cutting hulls for reduced drag, and the latest vacuum infusion technology, ensuring every Elan yacht delivers the ultimate sailing experience.
