Perfect starter choice The Dufour 385 Grand Large is ideal for families or small groups new to sailing or wanting a relaxed, comfortable charter without breaking the bank. At 11.4 metres, she's manageable for mixed-ability crews while still offering genuine comfort across three cabins and sleeping eight.

Well-equipped for cruising Godspeed comes with genuinely useful kit, bimini and sprayhood for sun and weather protection, autopilot to ease the workload, snorkeling gear for exploring reefs, and solar panels with inverter for decent battery management. The teak deck is a nice touch that adds character and suggests decent maintenance.

Strong value proposition At under €1,400 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this boat delivers solid equipment and three cabins at a price that leaves budget for provisioning and excursions. You're getting tried-and-tested Dufour quality without premium pricing.

One realistic caveat At 18 years old, you'll want to confirm with NAS Yachts exactly what mechanical systems have been recently serviced, engine hours, through-hull fittings, and whether the Wi-Fi/internet actually performs reliably on the water, as connectivity claims don't always hold up in remote anchorages. Ask for a recent survey or maintenance log before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Nikiana Marina, in Lefkada, Greece. Godspeed is operated by NAS YACHTS.

Why this is a great starting point

Nikiana Marina sits on Lefkada's east coast, offering straightforward access to the Ionian islands' protected waters and steady northwesterly winds typical of summer conditions. Week 1 charters naturally progress south through Meganisi and Kalamos, or north toward Skorpios and Ithaca, with all anchorages lying within 15-25 nautical miles; the shallow, predictable conditions suit both experienced sailors and those returning to the water. The surrounding Ionian offers relatively short passages between islands, making it ideal for crews wanting to establish their rhythm without long overnight crossings.

Can Godspeed be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Godspeed 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 Godspeed?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
