SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples The Elan Impression 40 is an excellent choice for two people or a small family wanting comfortable, stress-free sailing. With solid cruising gear like autopilot, bow thruster, and a decent-sized cockpit, you'll spend more time enjoying the experience than wrestling the boat.

Well-equipped cruiser This 2017 build ticks the boxes that matter: solar panels mean less engine time, a sprayhood keeps you dry, teak cockpit feels lovely, and heating ensures shoulder-season comfort. The three-cabin layout gives you flexibility, though remember the 8-berth capacity means cabins are compact when fully crewed.

Strong value proposition At around €2,040 per week with only a €2,000 deposit, you're getting a modern, well-maintained boat without breaking the bank. For international charterers flying in, the inclusion of essentials like dinghy and solar panels means fewer surprise add-ons eating into your budget.

Location matters here The base location isn't listed in your data, so I'd recommend checking Sailhunt's website to confirm proximity to major airports and typical transfer times. Depending on where Val is based, your charter experience could vary significantly in terms of travel convenience from the UK or Europe.

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