Elan Elan 40 Performance: Your Premium Sailboat Charter in Split

Discover the Adriatic Sea aboard the Elan Elan 40 Performance, a sleek and performance-oriented sailboat available for charter in Split, Croatia. Built in 2003, this 12.2m (40ft) yacht comfortably accommodates up to 6 guests, making it an ideal choice for couples, small families, or friend groups seeking a private sailing holiday.

Designed by renowned naval architect Rob Humphreys, the Elan 40 Performance delivers exceptional upwind pointing ability and downwind fun without sacrificing livability. Often described as swift and pretty, this racer-cruiser offers outstanding performance in both light breezes and stronger wind conditions, ensuring an unforgettable sailing experience across the Croatian coast.

This is for people who don’t need luxury to feel rich. For CEOs, founders, engineers, and burned-out minds who understand that calm is the real upgrade. I am a professional photographer with over nine years of experience working on cruise ships around the world, including work for iStockphoto and Getty Images. In 2010, I earned my sailing certificate at A.N.A. on the island of Murter, and since then, sailing has been a constant part of my life. Recently, I fulfilled a long-awaited goal by purchasing my first sailing boat, an Elan 40 Performance. With it, I combine two things I care deeply about: the sea and photography. The result is a simple, honest experience, sailing, quiet time, and, if you choose, professional photo sessions that capture it naturally. This is not an all-inclusive or luxury setup. Food, meals, marina fees, moorings, berths, and fuel are not included and are paid separately, depending on the day and route. The boat is strictly non-smoking. Thank you for visiting my profile and for your interest in Maxim, my Elan 40 Performance sailing yacht! ✨ If you’re dreaming of a day on the Adriatic Sea, join me for a day sailing trip from Split. With a maximum cruising speed of 6 knots, Maxim is designed for comfort, relaxation, and experiencing the spirit of sailing. Instead of rushing to far destinations, I offer selected routes that fit into 8–10 hours and allow you to enjoy both sailing and time at sea: ⚓ Brač – Discover charming bays such as Milna or Bobovišća, or visit the world-famous Golden Horn beach. ⚓ Šolta – Experience the authentic Dalmatian atmosphere of Maslinica and swim in crystal-clear secluded coves. ⚓ Underwater Museum near Rt Jelenak – Snorkel among unique underwater sculptures and enjoy peaceful nearby anchorages. ✨ In addition, I offer a professional photo session on board – the perfect way to capture your special moments at sea and take home unforgettable memories. Each trip can be tailored to your wishes, whether you’d like more sailing, swimming, sightseeing, or simply relaxing on deck. The Skipper is mandatory; SY Maxim is not available for bareboat charter. Come aboard Maxim SY, and let’s make your day at sea unforgettable! 🌊⛵📸 Damir
