Description of Ioannis's sailboat
Sailboat Elan 514 Impr.-Multi Day Skippered Cruises-Crete 16.15m
SAILBOAT OVERVIEW Elan Impression 514 (named TREATON) is a fast-cruising yacht in a league of her own. She is designed by the distinguished Rob Humphreys and is provided with the German Lloyd GL Plus Certification. The lines of the Elan Impression 514 are streamlined and elegant with luxurious touches throughout. The semi deck saloon opens into a magnificent space with overhead and side panoramic windows welcoming in plenty of natural light and excellent views. TREATON has a keel-stepped mast, and a powerful hull infused with the latest 3-D technology, with an isophthalic gelcoat finish. The hull is molded in a one step process with Elan’s highly advanced technology based on vacuum - assisted lamination, which improves the mechanical properties of the hull up to 50%. The injection - molded deck is cored with discontinuous balsa panels. The ballast keel is cast iron encapsulated in epoxy. A brand new (mod. 2023) Yanmar 4JH110 common rail engine pushes the sailboat at about nine knots at 2400 rpm with truly little noise or vibration. Under power, she maneuvers like a yacht. The large three - bladed folding prop and the powerful bow thruster make backing out of the slip a highly controlled affair. The extensive open cockpit area provides ample space and excellent comfort. The aft door opens easily serving as a large swimming platform and additional entertainment area. The 3 unfolding steps add even more entertainment space to the vast aft area. The retractable hydraulic Besenzoni 500 gangway provides easy access on and off the yacht. The electric mainsail winch, an extra fridge / freezer, a BBQ grill, and a sink on the cockpit offer the ultimate level of functionality and convenience. The forward deck sunbathing area is massive as well and equipped with comfortable mattresses. The interior uses teak wood, stainless handholds, and intimate LED lighting. There are 3 separate A/C (+ heating) units, one for the saloon, one for the forward and one for the aft cabins, supported by a powerful generator. The saloon (which converts into a double bed if needed) is light and airy. The U-shaped dinette will seat up to 10 guests when using the two additional chairs. The port settee has a small table with a hidden bottle and glass storage. There is also a radio/MP3 and a hidden flat TV that reveals electrically. The galley is very well-appointed, fully equipped (side opening fridge with freezer, gas stove with oven, microwave oven, espresso coffee machine, double sink, 12 sets of dishes, glasses, cutlery etc.), with plenty of storage space. There are five (4+1) cabins, two sets of ample double cabins at each end (forward and aft) and a crew cabin with two single bunk berths. There are also five (4+1) electric toilets with showers. TREATON is a magnificent, robust large cruiser. She is an ideal sailing yacht for families, friends or couples searching for finesse, luxury, comfort, and safety. The yacht combines high-end technology, outstanding sailing performance and supreme convenience. It is authorized to accommodate up to 12 passengers (including crew).

OMG, it is hard to put into words such a marvelous yachting experience. The owner was a pleasure to meet and work with and his captain and first mate were not only very capable and skilled, they were enjoyable to spend the trip with, as well. We felt like royalty.
Josheph and Marsha were amazing. We had a wonderful 3-days cruise together. Top notch customers, highly recommended. Looking forward to host you again the soonest. Thanks a lot for sailing with us !!
We were no experienced sailors and didn't know what to expect. It started a bit rocky with the booking. We asked a personalised multiple day offer and we accepted this offer. But he charged one day too little apparently even though the days in the offer were correct and a discussion followed. We have found something in between in the end so we could continue our trip. Once at the port of Heraklion everything went smooth and the skipper (Dimitros) and his right hand helper were very kind. Ioannis was there to arrange the paperwork and off we went. We enjoyed the trip of 4 days enormously. Communication wasn't always clear concerning the use of electricity on bord / when stationed in a harbour / .... We are sure there are still many other lovely places to discover but we had the best time with our 3 kids. It felt like camping on the water, back to basics style - not glamping :) They told us the boat is mostly used for dagtrips and we understand why. But nevertheless we would do it all over again. Thank you Ioannis and crew to be a part of our Greek adventure
Caroline and her family were excellent. Friendly, interesting, joyful, and very respectful with the boat and the crew. Highly recommended customers. Thanks a lot for everything Caroline !!
