Elan I43 world premiere at the Biograd Boat Show

After Elan successfully launched the unique grand tourer, the Elan GT6, and sporty Elan E6 which will have its Croatian premiere at the 24th Biograd Boat Show, the company decided to introduce a completely new yacht to carry the torch for the Impression Line. This is how the Elan Impression 43 was born, which will be shown for the first time in the world at the Biograd nautical fair.

Boasting a modern wide-beam hull, the yacht offers much more space than previous models. Due to the continuing tradition of a raised coach roof, what Elan calls a “semi-deck-saloon”, it holds its own against most competitors as well.

It will surprise no one that the hull and sail plan was designed by the naval architecture studio Humphreys Yacht Design. The yachts aesthetics were styled in cooperation with the design studio Pininfarina, a relationship that birthed the multiple design award-winning Elan E6 and is now continuing with the Elan Impression 43. The cockpit is built for enjoyment at anchor as well as sailing pleasure. Ample seating for up to 10 people will make sure everyone has comfort on board. Optional modular cockpit table converts into two sunbeds and enables lounging and sunbathing in the cockpit as well. The twin helm with composite steering wheels offers freedom of movement aboard.

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, and the four-cabin version adds a cabin with bunk beds, perfect for families or groups of friends.

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

Elan yacht has been designed with every comfort in mind. Leisure when cruising is guaranteed. Relaxation and enjoyment is a priority – everything from a large volume, sunbathing areas in cockpit, outdoor grill and fridge, to microwave and coffee machine options.
