Perfect for active crews The Elan Impression 45 is a solid mid-range cruiser that suits groups of 4, 6 sailors who want a balance of comfort and genuine sailing performance. With 10 berths across 4 cabins, it works well for families or friends mixing relaxation with hands-on time at the helm.

Well-equipped modern boat This 2018 build ticks the practical boxes: solar panels, air conditioning, a bow thruster for tight anchorages, and a swimming platform for those warm-water destinations. The sprayhood and bimini mean you're not cooking in the sun during day sails, and the dinghy opens up exploring quieter coves.

Decent value proposition At roughly €2,715 per week from Sunturist, you're paying fair money for a modern, well-maintained boat with solid creature comforts, no rough edges here. The €2,200 deposit is reasonable and typical for this size and age.

One fair note The base location isn't listed in your data, so I can't comment on flight times or how convenient it is from major European or US hubs, that's worth checking with Sunturist directly. Once you know where she's based, you'll have a much clearer picture of whether the total trip logistics suit your schedule.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Zadar, in Zadar, Croatia. POPAJ is operated by Sunturist.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Zadar sits at the gateway to the central Dalmatian islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising toward the Pakleni Islands and Hvar. Northwesterly winds dominate in summer, pushing you naturally down the coast; typical first-week itineraries work the 30-40 nautical mile run to Vis or Korcula, with reliable shelter in between. The shallow, island-dotted waters suit both confident and cautious sailors, and you can reach established anchorages and small-town provisioning stops within easy day-sail distances.

Can POPAJ be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter POPAJ 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 POPAJ?

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.
