Description

This 2006 Elan Impression 384 is a capable and comfortable cruising sailboat that has benefited from significant recent upgrades focused on energy independence, sailing performance, and cruising convenience. Known for her solid build quality, generous interior volume, and well-balanced sailing characteristics, the Impression 384 is equally suited for coastal cruising, island hopping, or extended liveaboard use.

Current owners bought in Montenegro. This sailboat had done 5-6 years in charter with Montenegrocharter.com company from 2007 to 2012-13.

They’ve sailed and lived the Mediterranean. And have sailed the trade winds to Sint Maarten in fall 2025.

Recent investments include new sails (2024), a modern lithium and solar electrical system, a solar/dinghy arch, and a rigging service completed in 2024, making this vessel particularly attractive to buyers looking for a turnkey cruiser with reduced refit needs.
