SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families This 2024 Elan Impression 43 suits groups of four to eight sailors who want a modern, well-equipped boat without breaking the bank. It's spacious enough for two couples or a family with friends, and the four cabins mean everyone gets reasonable privacy.

Standout features You're getting genuinely useful kit here—bow thruster for tight moorings, lazy jack for easy sail handling, and a swimming platform that makes anchorages actually fun. The Elan brand is known for solid build quality and user-friendly design, so even mixed-ability groups tend to feel confident aboard.

Excellent value At under €3,500 per week through Messinia Yachts, this is competitive for a nearly-new 43-footer with four cabins and that equipment list. The operator's 5/5 rating is a strong signal, though the small review count means you might want to check recent feedback directly before committing.

One thing to note The listing doesn't specify the exact location—Messinia Yachts operates in Greece, but confirm your base port early, as some Greek locations require longer airport transfers or involve ferry connections if you're flying international.

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