50m Christensen motor yacht Lady Elaine receives further $2M price drop

A further $2,000,000 price drop has been announced on the 49.7-metre motor yacht Lady Elaine, listed for sale with Bob Cury of RJC Yachts. 

This new reduction comes just two weeks after a previous deduction of $1,000,000, which was announced days before she attended the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show as one of the most expensive yachts on display.

Delivered in 2008 by US yard Christensen, Lady Elaine was constructed in GRP to an in-house design and naval architecture. She was built (and has been maintained) to ABS and MCA Class and completed her 15-year ABS survey in 2023.

Recent refit works in 2025 included a new bottom job, the complete ceramic coating of her hull and new exterior deck furnishings. An extensive refit was completed in 2018.

Lady Elaine was originally commissioned for American yachting legend John Staluppi, first delivered under the name Casino Royale. She was outfitted with James Bond-inspired interiors by Carol Williamson, predominantly decorated in classic sapele mahogany paired with cool silver tones and, now, navy soft furnishings.

Accommodation is for an owner's party of up to 15 in six cabins, comprising a king-sized master – with extra-large Jacuzzi tub – on the main deck, a full-beam, king-sized VIP cabin, two king-sized doubles and two more doubles with twin beds and an additional Pullman berth. Meanwhile, there are further quarters for a crew of 10. "You will not find a more versatile, guest-friendly layout on any 50-metre yacht," the broker added.

An elevator services all four decks, one of the most popular being the upper deck with its full-beam, voluminous skylounge. Up a level, the sundeck sports a large Jacuzzi, wet bar and ample deck space for relaxing and entertaining.

The 491GT yacht for sale is powered by twin 1,800hp MTU diesels, giving her a top speed of 17.5 knots, a cruising speed of 16 knots and a range of 4,300 nautical miles at 11 knots.

Lady Elaine is now asking $22,900,000.
