5 Star Luxury Sailing in Croatia with the Elan E6

Elan E6 - Contessa in Marina Zadar Port

Nothing is left to chance aboard the Elan E6 – a vessel in a league of its own.

This is one of the most majestic luxury yachts available for charter today. Combining a graceful luxury aesthetic with powerful performance, the award-winning Elan sailboat surpasses all previous levels of stability, handling, and safety.

Already in its early sea trials, the E6 exceeded performance and handling targets that were set by Elan Yachts’ managing director, Marko Škrbin. The challenge to the design and build team was to deliver an innovative dual-purpose yacht with equal potential for cruising and racing.

The result? An incredibly powerful yet easy-to-handle yacht, exuding luxury and class at every turn.

For an impeccably luxurious cruising experience along the Adriatic coast, we cannot think of a better fit than the Elan E6.

What makes it so special and the subject of constant words of praise?

Why the Elan E6 is the Perfect Sailing Boat for Charter in Croatia

The Contessa, found at Bruneko Charter, is currently the only Elan E6 on offer for charter in Croatia today. Measuring 15.3 meters in length, it has a beam of 4.49 meters and a draft that comes in at 2.8 meters.

Complete with four cabins and two toilets, Contessa has the ability to host a maximum of ten people.

As Ella Fitzgerald says, it’s summertime, and the livin’ is easy – and this could not be more

true for the Contessa. Cooking up a storm for ten people is simplified thanks to the brand-new amenities onboard:

  • Freezer
  • Gas cookers
  • Hot water
  • Oven
  • Refrigerator
  • Kitchen utensils

The convertible table in the salon makes for a cosy space to share a meal, but if the weather suffices, why not make the most of the great outdoors and eat your feast on deck?

If chartering this vessel on your own is not in the cards, you can still enjoy in all its pleasures with Bruneko charter simply by hiring out a skipper.

So, kick back, relax, and sip your refreshing cocktail while taking in the beautiful Croatian coastline, or jump in from the swimming platform and explore the wondrous underwater world of the Adriatic. With the Elan E6, you can do it all with ease.

A Performance Powerhouse For Your Yacht Charter in Zadar

The brief in creating the Elan E6 sailing boat for charter was to create the fastest, stiffest and lightest in its class.

Of course, performance is a given with all Elan sailing yachts, but this twin rudder and helm yacht have powerful engineering behind it with 3D VAIL technology and a dedicated hull with a T-shape keel.

The fuel tank boasts 240 L, while the water tank allows for 370 L, and the Elan E6 sails at 8 knots, with the capability of 12 knots upwind and downwind in the mid-teens. Make the most of those winds on the Adriatic, as we give you the option of renting out a gennaker sail

If the Elan E6 pricelist is something that’s a little too far out of your reach for your next charter, you can always look to the Elan E4 for a more cost-effective rental option. The Elan E4 pricelist comes with a more budget-friendly solution in the form of Stella Mare (2 cabins) and Cooper (3 cabins), also available at Bruneko.

Superior Award-Winning Design

Elan, as a company, has earned a reputation for quality design, high performance, technological innovation and tasteful interiors, which have long appealed to both competitive sportspeople and cruise enthusiasts alike.

Characterised by world-class quality and cruising comfort, the feeling of space and luxury on the Elan E6 is akin to what is typically found on much larger boats.

By joining forces with Italian car designer, Pininfarina, that has worked with some of the best in the business, including Ferrari, Maserati, and Alfa Romeo, the Elan E6 interior and exterior aesthetic was destined to deliver.

Sure enough, the new-age performance cruiser made waves and took top spot by winning the International Yacht and Aviation Award 2022 for design in the Sailing Yacht category, competing against some impressive maxi and superyachts.

Škrbin is more than pleased with the results, saying:

“We have always been building high-quality yachts, but with the E6, we pushed the envelope even further. Gorgeous aesthetics, combined with unparalleled sailing characteristics and construction quality. We are very satisfied with the result and delighted that this was recognised by the broader design community. I am very thankful to our partners, who gave their best to this project. Without all of them, Elan E6 would not be what it is.”
