The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): autopilot, electric anchor windlass, bow thruster, GPS chart plotter, air condition and it’s obligatory extras: transit log.

Why charter this Elan Impression 45.1
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 4 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 13,5 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Elan Impression 45.1 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 2 heads. Sailing crews should keep one fallback leg for wind shifts, late sea state and the final marina return.
Vulcano and the Aeolians from Capo d’Orlando
Capo d’Orlando sits under the wooded Nebrodi mountains on Sicily’s north coast, a working town with a marina rather than a resort, and the week forks between the Aeolians offshore and the Tyrrhenian coast itself. Catania (CTA) and Palermo (PMO) are each a long coastal drive, so most crews spend the first night on the Sicilian shore and read the wind before deciding. The coastal option runs west under the headlands to the Tindari sanctuary and the Marinello lagoons, sheltered short hops close in. For the islands, Vulcano, Lipari and Salina sit a short hop apart once across, though the channels are open and the anchorages deep, so pick a calm day for the crossing and keep the run home for an easy last day.
