Excellent modern cruiser. The 2023 Elan Impression 45.1 is a well-equipped, contemporary design that handles beautifully for a 45-footer and punches above its weight in terms of comfort and practicality. At just 13 metres, it's nimble enough for varied coastlines yet roomy enough for proper cruising with up to six people across three cabins.

Standout features here. The bow thruster and autopilot transform single-handed sailing and tight marina situations, while the full suite of creature comforts—refrigeration, electric heads, cockpit entertainment, and snorkeling kit—means minimal fuss between exploring and relaxing. You're getting a genuinely modern boat, not a hand-me-down from the 2010s.

Value is solid. At €4,000 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this represents fair pricing for a nearly-new, well-appointed yacht in this size bracket. The inclusion of dinghy and snorkeling gear adds real value for Mediterranean or Caribbean work.

One small note: We don't have the charter base location listed, which matters—if it's a major hub like Athens, Croatia, or the BVIs, logistics from the US or UK are straightforward; if it's more remote, factor in extra transfer time and flight connections before you arrive.

The marina & destination

Based at Betina Port, in Betina, Croatia. Skyline is operated by Sailor's Moon.

Can Skyline be rented with or without a skipper?

Skyline can be chartered both bareboat (without a skipper) if you have the required sailing qualifications, or with a professional skipper hired through Sailor's Moon for an additional fee. A skipper is highly recommended if you're not confident navigating Croatian waters or prefer a more relaxed experience.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Skyline?

For a bareboat charter of Skyline, you'll need either an IYC (International Yacht Certificate) or equivalent national sailing qualification demonstrating competency at coastal/offshore level. Sailor's Moon will verify your credentials before confirming your bareboat booking.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter price typically includes use of Skyline, all onboard equipment (sails, safety gear, navigation systems), and mooring at Sailor's Moon's base in Croatia. Fuel, provisions, and any hired extras like a skipper or transit logs are usually additional.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Expect to pay for fuel, provisioning (food and water), and any optional services like a skipper, skipper's meals, or local transit permits when you collect Skyline. Mooring fees for overnight stays outside the base may also apply depending on your itinerary.

How does the security deposit work for Skyline?

Skyline requires a €2,500 refundable security deposit, typically charged to your card at check-in and released after the charter if there are no damages or breaches of the charter agreement. Any deductions for damage or missing equipment will be itemised and explained before the deposit is returned.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms depend on Sailor's Moon's specific policy and how far in advance you cancel; most operators offer a sliding scale with full refunds well ahead and reduced refunds closer to the charter date. Contact Sailor's Moon directly with your booking reference to discuss your cancellation options and any applicable fees.

Is Skyline insured?

Skyline is covered by the operator's marine insurance as standard, which protects against third-party liability and hull damage. Your personal possessions and any damage you cause due to negligence may not be covered, so consider taking out personal travel insurance before your charter.

What documents do I need to bring?

Bring your valid passport, sailing qualification certificates (IYC or equivalent), driving licence (for ID), and any charter booking confirmation or insurance documents. Non-EU nationals should check entry requirements for Croatia; UK and US citizens can currently enter visa-free for tourism.

What payment methods are accepted?

Most charter operators including Sailor's Moon accept bank transfers, credit cards, and sometimes PayPal; confirm accepted methods when booking. A deposit is usually required upfront with the balance due before your charter start date—ask about timing when you book.
