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 Nautalins, 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) Nautalins, two sets of ample double Nautalins at each end (forward and aft) and a crew Nautalin 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).

Let me firstly say the skipper Joseph and mate George were absolutely brilliant and did their very best to make our trip the best possible. In fact if not for them it may have been a totally different story. One of the reasons we chose this yacht was for the air conditioning. However we were told on arrival that there was a malfunction of the generator meaning we would have no air con unless we were moored somewhere that we could connect to electricity. This made sleeping comfortably nigh on impossible. The one time we did morre up to an island that could provide electricity it took the crew nearly all day to achieve this, only to find on our return to the boat the supply had been cut off. We had to boil water in a pan on the stove as the electric kettle didnt work, nor the coffee machine. These l consider basic requirements, not a luxury. We were also dissapointed not to have the use of the sea scooter as advertised. I would say in all honesty the maximum people on board for this sort oh holiday should be 8,which we were. No more than that. Finally l would just like to commend Joseph and George. Ioannis states in response to my message to him re my concerns during our trip, that we were given a second crew member. That is true but we didnt ask for him. Though it turned out to be helpful to Joseph. Also Ioannis was kind enough to organise initial shopping for us. Plus arranging food to be brought to us at sea for a BBQ. He also stated that a skipper is only responsible to sail the boat from one place to another safely and not obliged to deal with anything else. Well if the malfunction had not happened and had been repaired before we left Heraklion Joseph would not have had to spend time trying to hook up to electric supplies. In summary we had a lovely holiday and have made some great memories. But it could have been more comfortable for us all.
We had a wonderful time hosting Madeleine and her company onboard. Excellent people, highly recommended customers. Thanks a lor for booking with us Madeleine !!
Amazing experience in an amazing boat with the best skipper ever! Teodoro was able to read our vibe and tailored the perfect cruise around the island, we are planning already to be back next year... was really a memorable week.
What a wonderful company !! We had a spectacular 7 days cruise with Alberto and his family. They were active, joyful, yet very respectful, and polite with the sailboat and the skipper. Looking forward to host you again the soonest Alberto. Highly recommended customers !!
