Perfect for small groups This 2017 Elan Impression 40 suits couples, small families, or friends wanting a manageable boat without the bulk of a larger vessel. With three cabins and eight berths, you've got comfortable sleeping arrangements without overcrowding the deck.

Well-equipped for comfort Amistad punches above its weight with thoughtful touches like a water maker (fresh water on demand), autopilot for easier sailing, and a teak cockpit that feels genuinely premium for a 40-footer. The snorkeling kit and dinghy mean you're set for exploring anchorages without hunting down extras.

Solid value proposition A 2017 boat with these amenities, especially the water maker and teak finishes, at a €2,500 deposit suggests reasonable week rates for the charter market. You're getting practical gear (chart plotter, autopilot) that makes sailing less exhausting, which matters on longer charters.

One realistic note At 11.9 metres, this boat demands competent sailors or a professional skipper; it's not a flotilla-friendly learner's boat. If your group lacks experience, factor in skipper costs before booking, or verify that Sailway offers proper skippered charter options.
