SailChecker Expert View

Perfect starter cruiser. The Elan Impression 45.1 is an excellent choice for families or groups new to sailing who want a modern, well-equipped boat without breaking the bank. At 13.8 metres, she's manageable for less experienced hands yet comfortable enough for a week exploring the Dalmatian coast.

Solid spec for the money. You're getting a 2022 build with genuinely useful kit—bow thruster for easier mooring, sprayhood for weather protection, swimming platform, and even a barbecue in the cockpit. The four cabins sleep eight, which spreads costs nicely across a group, and the teak cockpit with cushions makes lounging between sailing actually pleasant.

Croatian base advantage. Sailing from Croatia puts you in one of Europe's most scenic and accessible cruising grounds; Split or Dubrovnik airports have good international connections, and the base operator speaks English. At €3,226 per week, this represents solid value for a modern four-cabin yacht in peak season.

One honest note: The Elan Impression is a popular charter workhorse, so availability during summer months (July–August) fills quickly and you may face premium pricing or limited dates. Book early if those peak weeks matter to you.

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