At Elan Yachts, we are expanding the customisation options for our popular Impression 45 model, offering more choices for interior finishes and materials. Previously available with a rustic oak interior and grey cupboard fronts, the Impression 45 will now be offered with three additional wood finishes:
- Natural Oak
- Natural Oak Brushed
- Natural Oak Brushed & Whitened
In addition to the expanded wood choices, we are now giving owners the ability to personalise the colour of the galley cupboard fronts and countertops, allowing for even greater flexibility in interior design. Customers can choose from a plethora of different color options for galley cupboard and cabinet fronts, as well as counter colorus, allowing them to mix and match - creating a virtually infinite amount of creative combinations.
A Designer’s Perspective on the New Interior Palette
To explore the potential of these new material options, we invited an interior designer to create some example configurations from all of the available options. The designer chose Natural Oak Brushed & Whitened as the base finish, noting that its soft, textured appearance provides a refined backdrop for a wide range of colour options. “This lighter oak finish works beautifully with pastel tones, offering a fresh and modern aesthetic that feels both elegant and inviting”, the designer explained.
From there, three distinct colour combinations were selected for the galley cupboard fronts and countertops:
Deep Blue – “A sophisticated, modern choice reminding us of an elegant city apartment, bringing depth and contrast to the interior.”
Cacao – “A warm, earthy tone that enhances the natural wood elements, creating a cosy, welcoming space, while keeping within the tradition of nautical interiors.”
Eucalyptus – “This is my favourite combination—light, warm, and effortlessly modern. The unique pale green tone stands out while maintaining a sense of balance between warmth and style.”
The Impression 45 is built with safety, comfort, and easy sailing in mind, and yet its performance stands out in its class. Thanks to smart naval architecture by Humphreys Yacht Design, it delivers better speed and handling than many comparable cruising yachts. What also sets it apart is our own 75-year-old in-house carpentry workshop, where our experienced craftsmen create interiors that blend modern elegance with traditional craftsmanship. The Impression 45 features high-quality wood finishes, solid wood details, and durable construction—contrasting with many competitors who rely on lighter, easy-to-assemble materials.
These updates reflect our commitment to offering more customisation while maintaining the build quality and craftsmanship that define the Elan Yachts brand. The new material options are available for all newly ordered Impression 45 models, starting immediately.
