What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for families The Elan 45 is a modern, well-equipped cruiser that suits families or small groups wanting comfort without sacrificing sailing credentials. Four cabins sleep eight, giving everyone private berths, a real luxury on a 45-footer.
Smart modern touches Solar panels, air conditioning, heating, and Wi-Fi keep life easy on longer charters, while the bow thruster and autopilot reduce the workload for mixed-ability crews. The swimming platform and bimini make anchoring genuinely enjoyable rather than just a waypoint.
Solid value proposition At €3,298 per week from a professional operator, you're paying mid-range pricing for a 2023 yacht with genuine modern systems and creature comforts. The €2,200 deposit is reasonable for this size and spec.
Missing one detail The base location isn't listed on your specs, so we can't advise on airport proximity or travel logistics from your side of the Atlantic, worth confirming with Sunturist before booking, especially if you're connecting through a major European hub.

Northern Dalmatia & the Kornati Loop
Kornati National Park is empty coves, no shore power, true wilderness sailing. The route most people quietly call their best charter ever.
