SailChecker Expert View
Solid Mid-Range Cruiser The Elan Impression 45 is a sensible choice for families or small groups wanting comfortable cruising without unnecessary frills. At 13.8 metres with four cabins sleeping up to 10, it balances liveable space with manageable handling for mixed-ability crews.
Well-Equipped Essentials You're getting the practical kit: electric winches and bow thruster make sailing less demanding, autopilot handles long passages, and the lazy bag keeps mainsail management simple. A swimming platform, dinghy with outboard, and heating suggest the operator knows what makes a week actually enjoyable rather than just functional.
Decent Value Proposition At roughly €5,060 per week, you're paying fairly for a 2018 boat with modern conveniences and space for a larger party, that works out economical per person. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable and reflects standard industry practice.
One Honest Caveat The operator rating is based on just one review, which doesn't give you much to go on for reassurance about support, cleanliness standards, or how they handle issues mid-charter. Before committing, reach out directly to ask specific questions about their handover process, emergency support, and how responsive they are to problems, especially important when flying long-haul.

The marina & destination
Based at Hjellestad Marina, in Hjellestad, Norway. Perlen is operated by Sebleke Sailing.
Sondre Hjellestad 317
I don't have reliable specific information about Hjellestad Marina's facilities, location within Norway, or the nearby cruising grounds that would be typical for week 1 charters from this base. Rather than provide inaccurate details about water conditions, nearby islands, or sailing characteristics, I'd recommend verifying the marina's current offerings and local cruising options directly with your charter broker or the marina operator, as Norwegian marinas vary significantly in their suitability for bareboat vs. skippered charters.
