SailChecker Expert View

Solid entry-level cruiser. The Dufour 335 is a well-established design that balances ease of handling with genuine comfort for a couple or small family. At 10.3 metres, she's manageable for less experienced sailors yet roomy enough not to feel cramped over a week-long charter.

Smart practical touches. Electric winches and lazy jacks make sail handling straightforward, while the bimini and sprayhood protect you from sun and spray, essential kit if you're crossing time zones to reach the Mediterranean or similar. Autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, and the onboard fridge means you won't live on tinned food.

Honest value proposition. A €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and this boat delivers solid bang for money if you're hiring for a relaxed week rather than seeking luxury. The 2014 build age is fine; Dufours are robust workhorses.

One practical note. We don't have the charter base location listed here, so do confirm where "Caprice 2" is moored, proximity to an international airport and availability for your preferred season matter more than the boat herself when you're flying in from overseas.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Cala de' Medici, in Castiglioncello, Italy. Caprice 2 is operated by MARINA'S SERVICE.

Viale Trieste 142

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Cala de' Medici in Castiglioncello sits on the Tuscan coast with straightforward access to the Tyrrhenian Sea's central cruising grounds. Within a week you can comfortably reach the Elba Island archipelago to the south, the Gorgona and Capraia islands to the northwest, or work along the Tuscan mainland coast toward Portoferraio; the prevailing northwesterly winds (Maestrale) typically favour southbound passages. This is a solid base for mixed itineraries combining protected anchorages with open-water sailing.

Frequently asked questions
Can Caprice 2 be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Caprice 2 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 Caprice 2?
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.
