Roxani (Elan 45)

Perfect for smaller groups Roxani is an excellent choice if you're sailing with up to six people and want a mid-sized cruiser that doesn't feel cramped. The three-cabin layout works well for couples or a small family, and at 13.7 metres, she's manageable even if your sailing skills are rusty.

Standout comfort features This boat punches above her weight with creature comforts like heating, an ice maker, generator, and Wi-Fi, genuinely useful touches for longer trips. The teak cockpit, bimini, and swimming platform make lounging between sailing sessions genuinely pleasant, and the bow thruster takes stress out of tight anchorages.

Solid value proposition At €1,850 per week with zero deposit required, Roxani offers reasonable value for a fully-equipped cruiser in this size range. You're getting a well-spec'd boat without paying premium rates, which leaves budget for provisioning or a skipper if needed.

One honest note She's a 2002 build, so while the equipment list is encouraging, you'll want to confirm during the pre-charter survey that systems like the generator and heating are genuinely reliable, older boats can have temperamental auxiliaries.
