SailChecker Expert View

Great all-rounder. The Dufour 382 Grand Large is a sensible mid-sized cruiser that suits mixed-ability groups—families, friends, or couples who want comfort without overcomplicating things. At 11.2 metres with three cabins and space for eight, it balances livability with reasonable handling for confident amateurs.

Smart kit onboard. Solar panels and a good spec of modern essentials (autopilot, chart plotter, sprayhood, bimini) mean you're set up for proper cruising rather than just day-sailing. The dinghy is included, which saves hiring one separately—handy for exploring anchorages.

Honest value question. At €1888 per week with a modest €2000 deposit, the price sits in reasonable territory for a 2017 boat of this size and spec. However, the charter base details and operator information are incomplete in the listing, so you'll want to verify location, airport proximity, and what's actually included before committing—don't assume the fine print.

Watch the logistics. Without knowing where the base sits, I can't say whether you're looking at a convenient arrival for international travellers or a trek from the nearest airport. Before booking, confirm base location, transfer options, and whether the operator (Bijoux d.o.o.) has English-speaking support—especially important if you're flying from the US or further afield.

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