2016 Elan Impression 45 - a premium two-cabin owner’s version, offering the ultimate balance of performance and comfort. Rarely available on the market, this owner configuration is highly sought after by astute sailors. With no history of charter use, this yacht has been privately owned and carefully maintained. Its spacious layout, featuring a large aft master cabin and forward guest cabin, ensures a luxurious onboard experience for extended cruising or relaxed weekend escapes.
In 2023, the yacht underwent a significant refit with over $20,000 invested to ensure it remains in excellent condition. Key updates include comprehensive servicing, upgraded electrical systems featuring solar panels and new batteries, and new deck cushions for added comfort. The thoughtfully designed deck layout includes twin helm stations, a custom rollbar for UV panels, and teak cockpit details, including the signature “G&T” stern seats for ultimate relaxation.
Equipped with an extensive inventory, including a Volvo Penta D2-55 engine with approximately 1,300 hours, high-quality rigging, and sail-handling equipment, this yacht ensures effortless sailing and reliability.
This Elan Impression 45 is ideally suited to those seeking a privately-owned yacht with no compromise on quality or care. Its rare layout, combined with meticulous maintenance, premium features, and the recent refit, presents a unique opportunity to own a sought-after cruising yacht, ready to set sail with its new owner.

Disclaimer
The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety, when purchasing a yacht, you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second-hand gear.
Should you become the new owner of this yacht, the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI, or AIS becomes yours.
