2023 Elan Impression 43

ELAN IMPRESSION 43 – BAVA | 2023 | ALMOST NEW | PRIVATE SAILING OR CHARTER

“BAVA” is a superb opportunity to acquire a virtually new Elan Impression 43, combining the comfort and equipment expected from a modern cruising yacht with the flexibility to operate as a private sailing yacht, a charter vessel, or an attractive combination of both.

Built by Elan in 2023, BAVA has seen limited use and presents an excellent alternative to ordering a new yacht and waiting for delivery. She is fully equipped for comfortable Mediterranean cruising and has a specification particularly well suited to charter operations.

The yacht offers a 4-cabin / 2-head layout, accommodating up to 10 persons, making her especially versatile for families, groups and charter guests. The spacious cockpit is designed for relaxed outdoor living, with synthetic teak throughout the cockpit, seating and side decks, cockpit cushions, a large bathing platform, integrated BBQ and cockpit refrigerator.

Below deck, BAVA benefits from a well-equipped and comfortable interior, including air conditioning, a 5.5 kW Webasto heating system, additional 200-litre freshwater capacity, two refrigerators, electric toilet, 230V outlets in the cabins and galley, USB charging points and ambient lighting. A 32″ 230V TV and JL Audio entertainment system further enhance the onboard experience.

Under sail, BAVA is equipped with a classic full-batten mainsail with lazy bag and lazy jacks, while the Yanmar 4JH57 provides 57 HP of auxiliary power. A bow thruster with dedicated batteries and charger makes manoeuvring in marinas considerably easier.

Her navigation package includes B&G electronics, GPS/chartplotter, autopilot, fixed VHF, wind instruments, log/speed and depth, providing a comprehensive setup for both cruising and charter use.

A flexible ownership proposition

BAVA is particularly interesting because she can be approached in several different ways:

Private sailing – An almost-new, comfortable Mediterranean cruiser for owners who want a modern yacht without the waiting time and initial depreciation associated with a new purchase.

Charter operation – Her 4-cabin layout, equipment level, safety equipment and Croatian commercial registration make her well suited to the established Mediterranean charter market. The Croatian registry records her purpose as rental and her navigation area as international navigation within the specified limits.

Private use + charter – A particularly attractive solution for an owner who wants to enjoy the yacht personally while generating charter income during periods when the yacht is not being used.

The yacht is currently located at Marina Kornati, Biograd na Moru, Croatia, one of the key sailing hubs of the Croatian Adriatic. The annual berth and comprehensive hull insurance are paid through May 2027, providing an additional practical advantage for the new owner.

BAVA represents a rare opportunity to step into a modern, almost-new 43-foot sailing yacht with a comprehensive specification, proven charter-oriented configuration and the freedom to choose how you want to use her.
