SailChecker Expert View

Who it suits This is a solid choice for small families or two couples looking for a comfortable, easy-to-handle cruising experience without breaking the bank. The 2017 Dufour 350 is forgiving to sail and manage, making it ideal if you're not hardcore racers but want genuine sailing enjoyment.

Standout features The sprayhood and bimini are genuine comfort wins for longer days at sea, and the autopilot takes the strain out of longer passages. Three separate cabins mean proper privacy, which matters when you're sharing a 10.3-metre boat for a week.

Strong value proposition At €2,210 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this yacht punches well above its weight for a family-friendly, fully-equipped package. The Dufour 350 has a proven reputation for reliability and reasonable running costs, so you're not subsidising someone else's repair bill.

One honest note The cabin layout is compact—this is a nimble cruiser, not a floating villa—so manage expectations if anyone in your party struggles with close quarters. Beyond that, without knowing your specific charter base location, I'd recommend confirming flight connections and transfer time from the nearest major airport when you book.

The marina & destination

Based at Nikiti, in Nikiti - Chalkidiki, Greece. Alcyone is operated by Albatross Yachting.

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