Flamingo (Elan Impression 45.1)

Ideal for families The Elan Impression 45.1 is a modern, well-equipped cruiser that sleeps up to 10 across four cabins, perfect for families or small groups wanting comfort without breaking the bank. The 2022 build means everything is current and reliable, which matters when you're flying long-haul to a charter base.

Smart comfort features You get genuinely useful kit here: a bow thruster makes tight anchorages manageable, heating keeps you cosy on shoulder-season trips, Wi-Fi stays you connected, and the teak cockpit with sprayhood creates a lovely outdoor living space. The swimming platform and dinghy are bonuses for exploring quieter spots.

Strong value proposition Zero deposit and a 5-star operator rating from Nova Eurospectra signals straightforward, hassle-free chartering, no hidden complications. For a 2022 boat in this size bracket, the package feels competitive.

One limitation worth noting At 13.8 metres, she's mid-sized rather than roomy, so 10 people works best for a week if everyone's comfortable sharing close quarters; families of 6, 8 will feel more spacious. The missing base location in your data makes it hard to judge airport logistics, so confirm transfer times and crew changeover ease directly with Nova Eurospectra.
