SailChecker Expert View
Who it suits This 2023 Elan is perfect for groups of 4, 8 wanting a modern, well-equipped boat without excessive size or complexity. It's ideal for families or friends mixing sailing with comfort, especially if some crew aren't hardcore sailors, the electric winches and autopilot do the heavy lifting.
Standout features The bow thruster, electric winches, and autopilot make handling genuinely easy, while the sprayhood and cockpit cushions add real comfort for Mediterranean or Atlantic cruising. At 13.5 metres, she's nimble enough to anchor in tight spots yet roomy enough to sleep 10 if needed.
Value for money A 2023 Elan Impression is a solid mid-range choice, modern enough to feel fresh, practical enough to keep operating costs reasonable, and popular enough that Barcando likely knows her well. The €3,000 deposit is straightforward; just confirm total weekly rates against similar boats in your chosen season.
One caveat The base location isn't listed here, so you'll need to check where Aetna is actually moored, that matters hugely for your long-haul flight logistics and what waters you're actually sailing. Once you know the base, you can factor in airport transfers and whether you prefer a Med or Atlantic cruise.

The marina & destination
Based at Capo d'Orlando Marina, in Capo d'Orlando, Italy. Aetna is operated by Barcando Charter.
Contrada S. Gregorio
Capo d'Orlando Marina sits on Sicily's north coast, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands; week one typically involves motor-sailing or light reaching to Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with the prevailing northwesterlies allowing comfortable passages of 15-25 nautical miles between anchorages. The marina provides a practical base for exploring protected anchorages around Panarea and Stromboli before returning westward along the Sicilian coast toward the Cefalù area, giving you a mix of overnight anchorages, small harbors, and volcanic scenery without long open-water passages.
