Broker Comments
Voted European Yacht of the Year in 2006, the Elan 344 Impression makes the ideal family cruiser. With a cavernous saloon, three double cabins and an L-shaped galley, this is a very well thought out accommodation layout that arguably gives the feel of a larger yacht. An easy to handle sail plan only adds to the overall package.Afloat in Northney Marina, Confidence can be viewed 6 days a week, subject to appointment.
