The swift, pretty Elan 40 is a mid-priced racer/cruiser designed by Rob Humphreys that is being pitched as a strong player in the highly competitive 40-foot market. I jumped aboard for a test sail on the Chesapeake last fall to see if the reality matches the marketing.

A licence is required to sail this boat, you check the list on our page “Acceptable licences in Croatia”. However, if you and your crew do not have a boat licence you can easily add a skipper at the checkout. For more information about boat licences, check out our page "Do I need a licence to rent a boat".
Similarly to renting a car, chartering a boat requires a security deposit. The deposit, refundable after check-out, covers you and your fellow passengers against accidental damage and ensures that contractual obligations are met. The security deposit varies in value depending on the model and brand of the boat. It will be returned to you after the boat has been inspected and is deemed undamaged. You can choose to purchase the refundable security deposit, or pay a one-off deposit waiver fee instead.
We have partnered with Pantaenius and EIS to provide a range of additional insurance options for your charter.1) Charter deposit insurance - secures the security deposit in the case of loss or damage to the chartered boat as a result of a naval accident.2) Cancellation insurance - covers the cancellation cost in case of sudden serious illness, accident or death.3) Charter payment insurance - covers against the potential insolvency of the charter company; boating accidents occurring before the rental period or sinking. It also provides insurance in the case of the charter not being able to provide the boat selected at booking or an alternative vessel!
Croatia Charter Fleet offers a FULL REFUND for cancellations made within 72 hours of booking .Flexible payment dynamics to make your decision easier with minimum downpayment and multiple instalments .When you book a charter within thirty (30) days of departure, we require payment in full. Cancellations made within less than 21 days of the check-in date are refund 70% of the total amount is applied. Please be aware that the conditions of our charter partners’ own policies apply.

A Transit Log is a variable payment, which can include the following: bed linen, cleaning, on-board Internet connection, tourist tax and base marina fees. The details of the Transit Log differ depending on the boat, location and charter partner. Once you choose your boat, our team will be able to outline the specifics of the Transit Log associated with your booking.

Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight – the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly.
