Buying an Elling E4 in the U.S.

Pricing, availability and your path aboard.

New-build pricing is by current factory quotation. Compare a yacht specified for you with the pre-owned boats currently offered.

New-build price & timing

The 2027 Elling E4 listing is offered at price on request. Ask Jack for current U.S. pricing, available build slots and an estimated delivery schedule. A published model year is not a confirmed build slot or handover date.

Engine choice, layout, finishes, electronics and other selected options affect the final specification and price. The factory quotation confirms your yacht's equipment and delivery terms.

What the quotation should cover

Request an itemized breakdown of the yacht and options, freight and marine insurance, import duties or tariffs, applicable taxes, delivery and commissioning. Confirm in writing which costs are included, excluded or estimated for your destination.

Discuss the handover port, commissioning scope, survey or acceptance checks and any onward delivery before agreeing a schedule. These details vary with the yacht and delivery arrangement.

New build or pre-owned?

A new build lets you specify the yacht with the factory. A pre-owned yacht has an existing equipment inventory and history to review, with condition confirmed through your own survey and checks.

2025 Elling E4 Wanderer is listed at $1,300,000. Confirm current availability, inventory and showing arrangements with Jack; listings remain subject to prior sale, price change or withdrawal.

E4 overview

Built for the voyage you keep imagining.

The E4 is the fullest expression of the original under-15-meter Elling brief: build an ocean-capable production motor yacht that can cross the Atlantic, run inland waterways and remain warm, quiet and reassuring in difficult conditions. Three standard E4s proved the concept by crossing from the Canary Islands to St. Maarten.

Its extra length over the E3 is concentrated where owners feel it most—in the aft deck and full-beam owner's stateroom—while retaining the same manageable beam, shallow draft and bridge-friendly profile. The result is a true long-range home afloat that does not demand a professional crew.

Why the E4

Capability you can feel—not just read about.

01

Proven self-righting design

A production E4 completed a controlled 360-degree capsize and returned upright under its own design—an extraordinary public demonstration of the concept.

02

Offshore and inland

Ocean Category A construction meets a 4 ft draft and 11 ft 4 in lowered-mast clearance for unusually broad cruising freedom.

03

More room where it matters

Compared with the E3, the E4 adds approximately four feet to the aft deck and owner's stateroom without increasing beam or draft.

04

Flexible speed

Cruise economically at displacement speed or select higher-power propulsion for the ability to run in the high teens when timing or weather matters.

05

Passage comfort

Double glazing, exceptional insulation, soft-mounted propulsion and supportive seating make long days underway noticeably calmer.

06

Independent backup

An optional wing engine with separate fuel, propulsion and starting systems protects against more than a simple main-engine failure.

Performance & propulsion

Efficient when you want range. Responsive when time matters.

Single-shaft main propulsion provides efficiency, accessible maintenance and favorable machinery weight distribution.

Volvo Penta D4 — 220 hp, maximum speed 11–12 knots (standard).

Volvo Penta D6 — 480 hp, maximum speed 16–17 knots, with Aquadrive.

Cummins QSB 6.7 — 550 hp, maximum speed 17–18 knots, with Aquadrive.

Volvo Penta D8 — 600 hp, maximum speed 18–19 knots, with Aquadrive.

Aquadrive separates propeller thrust from the engine and supports very soft engine mounts for lower noise and vibration.

Optional 30 hp independent auxiliary propulsion provides get-home capability through a dedicated saildrive and folding propeller.

Life aboard

A proper home, arranged for life underway.

All-weather wheelhouse

The raised helm provides commanding visibility with protected companion seating, opening forward and aft glass and a large electrically operated sunroof.

Lower saloon and seagoing galley

The salon is bright and generous enough for extended living, while the separate galley keeps full-size cooking and refrigeration secure underway.

Expanded owner's stateroom

The full-beam aft suite benefits most from the E4's added length, with a walk-around queen berth, extensive storage and an available private bathroom.

Three-cabin flexibility

Forward and side cabins can be configured for family, guests, office work or cruising equipment without sacrificing the owner's suite.

Layout flexibility

Made around the way you cruise.

  • Forward cabin with twin berths
  • Forward double berth with settee
  • Side cabin with two berths
  • Side office converting to a single berth
  • Two bathrooms available, including an owner's ensuite

Generously specified

A substantial standard yacht—not a bare starting point.
