SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples and small families. The Elan Impression 45 suits international charterers looking for a modern, manageable cruiser that won't demand constant attention or specialist skills. With four cabins and sleeping for six, it works equally well for two couples or a family wanting comfortable separation below decks.

Smart modern package. This 2025 build hits the sweet spot with practical essentials: bow thruster for easier marina work, a swimming platform for those warm-water destinations, autopilot for long passages, and a sprayhood to keep spray off when you're powering into a headwind. The chart plotter in the cockpit means you're not fumbling below deck to navigate.

Solid value proposition. At 13.8 metres, you're getting genuine comfort and four proper berths without the complexity or charter cost of a larger vessel. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and the operator's perfect 5-star rating, though based on limited reviews, suggests reliable, professional service.

One honest note: The operator information is sparse, and with only one review on record, you'll want to ask specific questions about their base location, handover procedures, and support availability during your charter. Before committing, confirm they offer the communication and assistance level you'd expect from a long-haul booking.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Villa Igiea, in Palermo, Italy. Rosalia is operated by Sailing Boat Service.

Via San Guli 41

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Villa Igiea sits in Palermo's harbour and puts you within reach of the Tyrrhenian Sea's best week-one cruising. From here you can sail east along the northern Sicilian coast to the Aeolian Islands, typically a 2-3 day passage with moderate summer winds, or work westward toward the Egadi Islands. The marina's central location makes it ideal for charters exploring Sicily's mixed itineraries of coastal towns, island anchorages, and protected bays.

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