SailChecker Expert View

Perfect starter cruiser The Elan Impression 40 is an excellent choice for families or small groups wanting a comfortable, easy-to-handle sailing yacht without demanding technical skills. With 3 cabins sleeping 8, she's genuinely practical for a week's cruising, and the 2019 build means everything onboard feels modern and well-maintained.

Smart creature comforts You get the essentials that make charter holidays relaxing: air conditioning, bow thruster for effortless docking, autopilot to reduce fatigue, and a proper bimini plus sprayhood to shield you from sun and spray. The teak cockpit is a nice touch that feels more upmarket than the price suggests, and the in-cockpit chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward.

Genuine value proposition At under €1,300 per week through Crosail, a well-reviewed operator, this represents solid value for a modern, equipped boat that won't demand constant problem-solving. The €1,800 deposit is reasonable, and you're chartering something reliable rather than an older bargain that might nickel-and-dime you with repairs.

One practical note The boat spec doesn't mention the charter base location, so before booking you'll want to confirm travel logistics from your home airport, Crosail operate in Mediterranean and Atlantic bases, and access times vary significantly depending on which one. Once you've established that, this is a genuinely sound choice for hassle-free sailing.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Novi, in Novi Vinodolski, Croatia. AVISA is operated by Crosail.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Novi sits on Croatia's central Adriatic coast and works well as a base for exploring the Dalmatian islands and channels within a week's sailing. From here you can reach the popular islands of Hvar, Vis, and Korcula heading south, or cruise north toward Rijeka and the Kvarner islands, with consistent northwesterly boras making these passages straightforward. The sheltered waters and numerous anchorages in this region suit both confident and moderate sailors, and you'll find good provisioning in Novi itself.

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