SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for couples & small families The Dufour 37 "First Laugh" suits groups of 4–6 looking for comfortable, modern sailing without a steep learning curve. With three cabins, two couples or a family with kids will find decent privacy, and the 2024 build means everything feels fresh and reliable.

Smart comfort features This boat punches above its weight for a 37-footer—solar panels, inverter, electric toilet, and a sprayhood make cruising genuinely pleasant. The lazy jack and bag system mean sail handling is nearly effortless, and Wi-Fi onboard is a genuine bonus for anyone who needs to check in with the office between anchorages.

Strong value proposition At this size and age, you're getting a well-equipped, hassle-free platform with a highly-rated operator (5/5 across 12 reviews). The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and extras like the dinghy, snorkeling kit, and SUP are included—no nickel-and-diming.

One note on base location We don't have the charter base listed in your details, so I'd recommend checking with Istion Yachting directly about airport logistics—transfer times and English-speaking support matter when flying long-haul from the US or northern Europe.

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