SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for growing families The DNA is a solid choice if you're sailing with kids or want a relaxed crew of up to eight—three cabins mean everyone gets decent privacy without feeling cramped. At 12.4 metres, she's manageable for owners stepping up from smaller boats, yet spacious enough for a proper week-long escape.

Smart modern kit For a 2023 Bavaria, she's well-equipped: bow thruster makes tight anchorages forgiving, teak cockpit feels premium, and air-con plus a galley fridge mean real comfort in warm-weather sailing. The chart plotter and autopilot take the strain out of longer passages, which matters if you're crossing from mainland Europe to the islands.

Excellent value proposition At roughly €2,879 per week with only a €3,000 deposit, she undercuts comparable three-cabin 40-footers by a fair margin—particularly helpful when you're factoring in flights to the charter base and transfers. For European crews, this opens doors to serious sailing holidays without eye-watering costs.

One small note The charter base location isn't listed in your data, so I can't advise on airport proximity or how convenient the transfer logistics are from major European hubs. Before booking, confirm where Albatros Yachting operates—that detail shapes whether she's genuinely accessible for your trip.

Frequently asked questions
Can Dna be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Dna bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter Dna?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
