What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for active groups This 2023 Elan Impression 45 suits crews of 4, 10 who want a modern, well-equipped sailing yacht without compromise. The four-cabin layout and contemporary systems make it ideal for multi-family charters or friends seeking reliable, comfortable sailing.
Standout kit Solar panels, air conditioning, heating, and Wi-Fi tick every comfort box for international guests flying in from afar. The bow thruster and autopilot take the stress out of tight anchorages, while the swimming platform and dinghy open up hidden coves, perfect for leisurely Mediterranean or Caribbean exploration.
Solid value proposition At €3,298 per week with a modest €2,200 deposit, this newer Elan offers exceptional bang for money, especially considering the spec level and 10-berth capacity. You're getting a stress-free, low-maintenance vessel that justifies the premium over older stock.
One heads-up Base location isn't listed here, so confirm airport proximity and transfer logistics before booking, critical when coordinating a group flying internationally. A quick chat with Sunturist will clarify whether you're looking at a short hop from a major hub or a longer journey post-arrival.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
