Elan GT5 for Sale – Performance Cruiser with Offshore Capability
This Elan GT5 for sale is a 2018 performance cruiser that blends sharp sailing characteristics with modern liveaboard comfort. Designed by Rob Humphreys and built by Elan Yachts, she’s ideal for both coastal sailing and long-distance cruising. Powered by a reliable Volvo Penta D2-40 engine, she’s equipped with recent upgrades including new batteries and twin flexible solar panels for improved energy efficiency.
Her cockpit layout is optimised for shorthanded sailing, with all lines led aft, twin helms, and a wide beam carried well aft for extra deck space. Below deck, the interior is light and spacious. She offers three double cabins, and the saloon table converts to provide additional berths. Quality finishes, smart storage, and a welcoming layout make her ideal for extended trips with family or friends.
This Elan GT5 for sale includes a comprehensive Raymarine navigation suite, solar charging, and a rig optimised for cruising performance. Whether you’re a weekend sailor or planning offshore adventures, she’s ready to go and delivers a rewarding balance of comfort and capability.

The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.
Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.
