Liana (Elan Impression 40.1)

Perfect for couples and small groups The Elan Impression 40.1 is a solid choice for 2, 4 people wanting a modern, manageable yacht without the complexity of larger vessels. At 12 metres, she's easy enough for confident intermediates to handle, yet roomy enough that three cabins won't feel cramped for a week's sailing.

Smart, well-equipped boat You're getting genuinely useful kit here: solar panels for longer cruising autonomy, bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot for those longer passages, and a teak cockpit that looks and feels premium. The bimini and sprayhood mean real comfort in variable Mediterranean or Atlantic conditions, not just nice-to-haves.

Solid value proposition At €3,060 per week with only €2,500 deposit, this sits in the sweet spot for newer, well-maintained production boats. You're paying for 2021 build quality and modern systems without the premium pricing of bespoke or luxury builds.

Rating with a grain of salt The operator has just one review (albeit a perfect 5-star), so you're taking a small leap of faith on George Vlamis's track record. Worth checking recent client feedback independently or asking detailed pre-charter questions about maintenance and support, especially if you're flying long-haul to get there and want peace of mind.
