What KateBot thinks

Perfect for groups Night Breeze is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family, the six cabins and 12-berth capacity mean you can spread out comfortably without feeling cramped, which is rare at this size and price point.
Smart modern setup This 2021 Elba 45 comes well-equipped for independent cruising: water maker and generator mean you're self-sufficient for longer passages, while solar panels keep running costs down. The hydraulic gangway, autopilot, and chart plotter make handling straightforward, even for less experienced crews.
Strong operator backing Istion Yachting runs a solid operation with a perfect 5-star rating across a good number of reviews, and the zero-deposit policy removes friction when booking, that's customer-friendly and worth noting.
One practical note: At 13.4 metres, this is a comfortable cruiser but not a speedster; factor in realistic passage times if you're planning longer day hops. The 2021 build is relatively new, which is a plus for reliability, though you won't have pages of historic data on this exact boat yet.

Where Charters Went
The heat map shows recorded overnight stops from round trips made by charter yachts tracked by AIS from Kos and the north Dodecanese during the 2025 season. You can use it to see where those yachts spent their nights and compare that with your own yacht charter plans. It is not a navigation guide.
Kalymnos was the most common first night out, at 29% of trips with a recorded first night. On 55% of trips, the furthest point from base was within 40 to 60 nm, measured in a straight line.
Use the recorded stops as a starting point for your charter plans. The full map gives you more to compare, and you can ask us about a route from Kos and the north Dodecanese for this type of boat.
