Perfect starter choice The Elan Impression 35 Aurora suits families and small groups wanting an accessible, well-equipped sailing experience without complexity or huge expense. At 10 metres with six berths across three cabins, she's comfortable for couples, friends, or a family of four to six without feeling cramped.

Smart practical kit She's loaded with genuinely useful gear: bow thruster makes tight anchorages manageable, autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, and the sprayhood keeps everyone dry during uncomfortable conditions. Wi-Fi onboard is a nice touch for those who can't fully disconnect, and the dinghy opens up proper exploration beyond the mooring.

Excellent value proposition At €1,900 per week plus a modest €2,000 deposit, this yacht delivers solid bang for money, modern enough to be reliable, equipped enough to be comfortable, and simple enough that even less experienced sailors won't feel out of their depth. For a transatlantic flight to reach most Mediterranean or Atlantic bases, you're getting dependable kit without premium pricing.

One fair note The 10-metre length means she'll feel intimate in a blow or longer passages; she's genuinely better suited to week-long hop-and-anchor sailing than serious ocean crossings. If your group needs more elbow room or plans ambitious distances, step up to a 40-footer.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Polesana, in Pula, Croatia. Aurora is operated by Turistico Yachting.

Sv. Katarina, Ul. Vallelunga 90

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Polesana in Pula sits at the northern gateway to the Adriatic, positioning you well for week-one cruising through the Istrian Peninsula and down towards the central Dalmatian islands. Light northeasterly winds typically prevail in summer, making the sail south to Rovinj, Vrsar, and the Pakleni Islands straightforward, with plenty of sheltered anchorages and working fishing villages to explore. The marina itself offers good facilities and a calm home base before you venture into deeper cruising grounds.

Can Aurora be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Aurora bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Aurora?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
