Compact coastal cruiser The Elan E3 "Yamal" is a nimble 9.2-metre sailing yacht built in 2019, perfectly suited to couples or small families wanting an affordable introduction to bareboat chartering in European waters. With 2 cabins sleeping 6, it's cosy rather than spacious, so best enjoyed by groups comfortable in close quarters.
Practical essentials included You get the core kit that matters: autopilot to ease single-handed sailing, a fridge for provisions, and a dinghy for exploring anchorages and reaching shore. For a boat this size, that's a sensible spec—nothing fancy, but everything functional.
Genuine value proposition At €3,000 deposit with SailEazy as operator, this is genuinely affordable chartering. If you're flying from the US, UK, or mainland Europe, the low upfront cost makes the whole venture easier to justify, especially for a learning experience or relaxed week.
One practical note Without knowing the exact base location, I can't comment on airport logistics or sailing conditions—do confirm where "Yamal" is berthed when you enquire, as that'll affect your travel time from an international hub and whether the local winds suit your experience level.
