SailChecker Expert View

Great all-rounder The Elan Impression 45 is a solid mid-sized cruiser that suits mixed-ability crews—experienced sailors will appreciate the modern systems, while less technical guests can rely on the autopilot and bow thruster to keep things relaxed. Four cabins sleeping ten make it an excellent choice for families or friends looking to share costs across a larger group.

Smart practical touches The electric heads and inverter are genuinely useful additions that reduce maintenance headaches and extend your off-grid flexibility, while the hydraulic gangway saves your back during tender transfers. A teak deck, bimini, and swim platform signal this boat won't leave you uncomfortable in Med sunshine—thoughtful design throughout.

Honest value proposition At €3,150 per week you're paying fair money for a well-equipped 2018 boat with a five-star operator backing it, though the €2,500 deposit is standard Greek charter practice. Spread across ten berths, that works out to roughly €315 per person per week—genuinely competitive for this standard of comfort.

One real caveat The operator listing shows only two reviews, so while that 5/5 rating is positive, you're not choosing from extensive proven history like some larger charter companies. Before booking, ask DK Yachting directly about their handover process and whether English-speaking crew support is available—it matters when you're flying in from abroad.

Frequently asked questions
Can Rigel (Electric Heads, Inverter) be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Rigel (Electric Heads, Inverter) 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 Rigel (Electric Heads, Inverter)?
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.
