Who It Suits. This 40-footer works well for small groups or families after a straightforward sailing week in Croatia without breaking the bank. With three cabins and eight berths, you'll have comfortable sleeping arrangements, though the smaller layout means less private space per person than larger vessels.
The Strong Points. The 2017 Elan Impression is a proven cruiser with good handling characteristics and a solid reputation for reliability. Based in Split, you're positioned perfectly for exploring the Dalmatian coast, and it's only a short transfer from the airport for most international arrivals.
Real Value Here. At under 1,700 euros per week, this yacht offers genuine value if you're after a straightforward summer cruise rather than luxury. The 1,400-euro deposit is reasonable, and Orvas has a solid track record in the region.
One Thing To Note. Three cabins for eight people means shared sleeping quarters and communal living; this works fine for friends but families may find the shared bathroom arrangements a bit tight over a full week. Check whether the layout includes ensuite facilities or if guests are sharing heads, as this can affect comfort on longer charters.

Based at ACI Marina Split, Croatia. TINO is operated by Orvas Yachting.
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.
