What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for active crews The Elan Impression 45 is a solid mid-range cruiser that suits groups of 4, 6 sailors who want a balance of comfort and genuine sailing performance. With 10 berths across 4 cabins, it works well for families or friends mixing relaxation with hands-on time at the helm.
Well-equipped modern boat This 2018 build ticks the practical boxes: solar panels, air conditioning, a bow thruster for tight anchorages, and a swimming platform for those warm-water destinations. The sprayhood and bimini mean you're not cooking in the sun during day sails, and the dinghy opens up exploring quieter coves.
Decent value proposition At roughly €2,715 per week from Sunturist, you're paying fair money for a modern, well-maintained boat with solid creature comforts, no rough edges here. The €2,200 deposit is reasonable and typical for this size and age.
One fair note The base location isn't listed in your data, so I can't comment on flight times or how convenient it is from major European or US hubs, that's worth checking with Sunturist directly. Once you know where she's based, you'll have a much clearer picture of whether the total trip logistics suit your schedule.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
