Dufour 350 Grand Large | Friday

Q: Can Friday be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Friday 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.

Q: What sailing licence do I need to charter Friday?

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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Great starter choice The Dufour 350 Grand Large is an excellent introductory sailing yacht, perfect for couples or small families wanting to learn the ropes without overwhelming complexity. At just over 10 metres, it's forgiving to handle yet spacious enough to feel comfortable on a week-long cruise.

Smart comfort features This boat punches above its weight with thoughtful kit: electric toilet, heating, solar panels with inverter, and a proper teak cockpit with bimini make it genuinely pleasant for a bareboat charter. The sprayhood and cockpit cushions add real-world cruising comfort that budget boats often skip.

Solid value proposition At a €3,000 deposit, you're looking at a well-equipped 2017 build with genuine cruising gear, not a stripped-down rental box. The inclusion of solar and heating suggests this operator understands charter guests want to actually enjoy themselves, not just survive.

One practical note You'll want to confirm the exact charter base location and transfer logistics from your arrival airport, as those details aren't listed here, factor in connection time if flying long-haul from the US or northern Europe. The 6-berth capacity is cosy rather than spacious, so crew selection matters on a week-long trip.

The marina & destination

Based at Yacht Classic Hotel, in Fethiye, Turkey. Friday is operated by LoveSail.net.

Fevzi Cakmak Cad. No:24

Why this is a great starting point

Yacht Classic Hotel in Fethiye puts you within striking distance of the Turquoise Coast's best anchorages; week 1 typically runs south toward Ölüdeniz and the Butterfly Valley, or east into the calm waters around Ekincik and the Dalyan estuary. The bay itself offers protection from the prevailing northwesterly winds, making it an ideal base for familiarising yourself with your boat before heading to the Greek islands or deeper into the Turkish Aegean. Most charterers use Fethiye as a springboard for 10-14 day loops that include the Twelve Islands and the sheltered bays between Göcek and Marmaris.
