The perfect Family Cruiser as a Demo Yacht

Discover the Perfect Family Cruiser: The Elan Impression 43

The photo at the top of this article immediately evokes a dream image: an elegant sailing yacht with beautifully trimmed sails, slighty under heel, heading straight for the sunset. It's a picture that appeals to every sailor, especially during the colder months. This dream yacht, the Elan Impression 43, is not just any picture: it is the new demonstration boat of my fellow Elan dealer Blue Yachting. Blue Yachting is located in Bremerhaven Germany and not at all far to visit from Belgium or the Netherlands. We hereby invite you to get on board and discover this impressive boat together.

A brief Virtual Tour of the Elan Impression 43

Let's face it: a photo shoot in an idyllic setting like the Cyclades would have been better. But our demonstration boat is located next to Blue Yachting's office, and that also has its advantages. You can easily make an appointment, any day, to come and see the boat in detail. For now, I'll take you aboard virtually and show you why the Elan Impression 43 - recently renamed Impression 45 - is the ultimate family cruiser.

A Smartly Designed Family Cruiser

What immediately convinced me about the Elan Impression 43 is its smart layout. The yacht is designed to be both seaworthy and family-friendly. Whether you are planning a relaxing family vacation or a longer trip, this boat offers the comfort and functionality you need.

Impressive Interior: Space and Light

With a width of 4.25 meters and a waterline length of 12.20 meters (LOA 13.60 meters), the Elan Impression 43 combines speed with a surprisingly spacious interior. Her slender silhouette, as well as her interior, has been refined by Pininfarina. Despite her elegant appearance, an interior volume has been created that leaves many speechless, best described as: "a ballroom"!

Despite all this refined styling, the yacht has a fairly classic layout: so that you can find your way around it immediately. First of all, on the starboard side, an extensive navigation corner for the skipper or navigator: folding seat, large control panel and a chart table on which it is easy to navigate and in which logbook data, and charts can be easily stored. Then comes the highlight: a huge, comfortable U-shaped bench around the large dining table. ELAN provides nice, thick and, above all, comfortable cushions: it is wonderfully comfortable here!

The L-shaped galley to port is equipped with everything you need: ample storage options, a 'Corian' worktop and a harmonious look that blends in nicely with the interior!

Spacious Cabins for Owner and Guests

Forward you will find the bright and spacious owner's cabin, with large windows that provide an abundance of natural light. Storage space is practically and stylishly integrated, and the en-suite bathroom offers additional luxury. The aft cabins are equally impressive, with similarly large hull windows that provide a bright and pleasant atmosphere. Here, too, you will find ample storage space and the same high-quality finishes as in the salon.

Quality and Durability in Every Detail

Another highlight of the Elan Impression 43 is the high-quality interior design by Italian design studio Pininfarina. This demonstration boat is equipped with extra thick "Rustico" oak veneer, which not only gives an extra luxurious look, but also guarantees durability. This is a yacht you will enjoy for years to come, without sacrificing style or quality.

Why This Boat Could Be Your New Ship

Configured as a 3-cabin version, this demo boat is being made available for a special demo price of €420,000 including VAT. Whether you are an experienced sailor or just starting to dream about your first long voyage, this Elan Impression 43 offers everything you need.

Would you like to experience the boat for yourself? Make an appointment and then we will visit my colleague in Bremerhaven together. We will make sure you will get the full tour!

Moreover, we can deliver the boat completely ready to sail, including a professional underwater ship treatment with paint system of your choice! As an extra, you can choose from a wide range of additional boat accessories through the shop of Janssen Maritimes, also part of Blue Yachting.

Since Elan as a brand will not be present at BOOT Düsseldorf, this yacht is the chance to see a new model from the yard close to Belgium or the Netherlands. We would like to welcome you aboard this demonstration boat in Bremerhaven or at BOOT Düsseldorf in hall 16, stand B20.2, where we can tell you all about Elan's range.

Will we see you soon?
