Elan Impression 45

Newest Version of our Mid-Sized Family Cruiser

(check out Elan Impression 43 for previous version produced from 2022 - 2024)

Comfort: Focus on high quality of living on board, with volume and amenities that can support small and large crews.

Safety: Enjoy the best the sea has to offer, while being protected and cared for by the yacht.

Easy Sailing: Enjoy, sail with ease, sail single or double handed, let those who wish to sail, sail, while others can enjoy the comfort of the yacht.

The cockpit is built for enjoyment at anchor, as well as sailing pleasure. Ample seating for up to 10 people will make sure everyone is comfortable on board. The optional modular cockpit table converts into two sunbeds and enables lounging and sunbathing in the cockpit as well. Beautifully designed steering pedestals can support 9-inch electronics and a myriad of other instruments that one might wish for. The twin helm with composite steering wheels offers freedom of movement aboard.

There are plenty of cockpit lockers as well, offering enough space for a life-raft and any other equipment that needs to be on hand.

Integrated into the deck are two transom boxes, which offer an extended seating area for the skipper and guests and can hold both a grill and a refrigerator.

The yacht comes with a small bathing platform in the standard configuration, which can be upgraded to a large platform for more space, safety and a closed transom feel.
No Impression yacht would be complete without the now-iconic transom seats, which are sure to be the first taken as the yacht sets sail.

The deck can be enhanced with both synthetic and real teak, depending on the wishes of the owner. Large, flush hatches and portlights are built into the coach roof in many places, letting both light and that soothing breeze into the interior.

The yacht has a self-tacking jib in the standard configuration, but this can be upgraded to a genoa among other options.

Owners can choose between three- or four-cabin versions. The three-cabin version includes an en-suite with an island bed and a spacious head with a separate shower, while the four-cabin version adds a cabin with bunk beds that is perfect for families or groups of friends.

The interior is built with a “rustic” oak veneer and marine-grade plywood, contrasted with modern grey-coloured storage cupboards. A solid oak finish is applied wherever the furniture is expected to go through the most use to increase its durability.

The saloon can comfortably seat the crew around a centre table, flanked by two solid wood chairs that fold into a pre-determined space when sailing. It can also be easily converted into a double berth.

The long side-galley features a three-ring stove with an oven and a front-opening refrigerator on the convenient L-shaped cabinet. The long layout offers plenty of surface space and cupboards for storage. The stove area is protected by easy-to-clean panels and is ventilated by a hatch above.
