Elan Impression 43 nominated for EYOTY 2024
An honorable nomination
We are pleased to announce that the Elan Impression 43 has been officially nominated for the prestigious European Yacht of the Year Award 2024. This recognition, often described as the "Oscar" of the marine industry, is a hallmark of innovation and quality in the world of yachting. This is the third consecutive new model from Elan to be considered for this coveted award.
A collaboration of stature: Humphreys Yacht Design and Pininfarina
The design of the Elan Impression 43 is the result of a collaboration with Humphreys Yacht Design and Pininfarina. The yacht combines functionality with comfort in an elegant way. The semi-deck-saloon design provides plenty of natural light and a spacious interior. In addition, a balanced sail plan and modern hull design offer unparalleled stability and safety.
A word of gratitude: director's response
Marko Škrbin, the director of the Marine Division at Elan, expressed his thanks at the nomination:
"Much gratitude goes out to everyone who contributed to this recognition. On behalf of the entire Elan family, I would like to express our deepest thanks to the EYOTY jury. Your recognition is not just a nod to the Elan Impression 43, but a testament to the relentless spirit and passion of every craftsman and engineer on our team, as well as our partners who worked on the project. We are both humbled and excited about the future. Thank you."
A worthy successor: Elan Impression 43 vs. Elan Impression 45.1
The Elan Impression 43 is a worthy, larger and more modern successor to the very popular Elan Impression 45.1. As such, the yacht is a serious contender for families interested in cruising-oriented sailing around the world.
A tradition of excellence: previous successes of Elan Yachts
The nomination is not the first for Elan Yachts. We have previously won EYOTY in 2006, 2007 and 2011 with the Impression 434, Elan 340 and Elan 450, and have also received recent nominations in 2020, 2021 and 2023 for the Elan Impression 45.1, Elan GT6 and Elan E6.
Conclusion: an important moment for us
For our customers and Elan fans in the Southern Netherlands and Belgium, this nomination is an exciting moment that highlights the quality and innovation that Elan Yachts represents. We look forward with great anticipation to the final announcement of the winner of the European Yacht of the Year Award 2024.
Thank you for your continued support and interest in Elan Yachts. We look forward to a bright future on the water together with you.
