About this yacht
A/C & Solar panels
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples The Elan Impression 40.1 is an excellent choice if you're looking for a modern, comfortable cruiser that doesn't demand heavy-weather sailing skills. At 12 metres with three cabins and sleeping for eight, it's genuinely sociable without feeling cramped, ideal for two couples or a small family wanting to explore at a relaxed pace.

Standout comfort features You're getting a well-equipped 2020 boat with air conditioning, solar panels, Wi-Fi, and a bow thruster that makes tight anchorages genuinely stress-free. The teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood mean you'll be comfortable in Mediterranean sun or the occasional Atlantic squall, and the autopilot takes the grind out of longer passages.

Solid value proposition SunLife Charter has a perfect 5-star rating, and the €1,600 deposit is reasonable for this spec. You're paying for a newer Elan, a builder known for solid build quality and sensible layouts, which typically holds up well and doesn't surprise you with expensive mechanical gremlins mid-charter.

One honest note The charter base location isn't listed here, so you'll want to check with SunLife where Funky is moored, that'll determine your flight logistics and whether the yacht suits your intended cruising ground. Once you know the base, you'll have a genuinely trouble-free week ahead.

The marina & destination

Based at ACI Marina Split, in Split, Croatia. FUNKY is operated by SunLife Charter.

Uvala Baluni 8

Why this is a great starting point

ACI Marina Split sits at the heart of the Dalmatian coast, giving you immediate access to the sheltered island-hopping grounds of central Dalmatia within a 20-nautical-mile radius. Week one typically involves cruising south toward Hvar and Vis, or north to Trogir and the Pakleni Islands, with consistent northwesterly winds (the Maestral) favouring both directions. The marina itself is well-equipped with provisioning and repair facilities, and the nearby medieval Old Town means crew can explore while the boat is prepared.

Frequently asked questions
Can FUNKY be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter FUNKY 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 FUNKY ?
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.
