Perfect for couples & small groups. The Dufour 390 is an ideal 3-cabin cruiser for 4–6 sailors who want comfort without excess size or complexity. At 12 metres, she's manageable for confident intermediate crews while offering genuine living space—no cramped bunks here.

Well-equipped and thoughtful. "Blue Dream" stands out with genuinely useful gear: bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels for self-sufficiency, snorkeling kit, and a proper teak cockpit with barbecue. The sprayhood and Bimini mean you're not cooking in the Greek sun, and the convertible table signals a designer who understands how sailors actually live aboard.

Solid value proposition. At 2021 vintage with a 4.9-star rating from IonianSails (a respected Ionian operator), you're getting a modern, well-maintained boat at a reasonable charter rate. The €3,000 deposit is fair, and the spec sheet suggests an owner who invests in the right upgrades rather than gimmicks.

One practical note: Base location isn't specified in your data—confirm whether this deploys from Lefkada, Corfu, or elsewhere in the Ionian, as that affects your flight logistics from the US or mainland Europe. International crews should verify that IonianSails provides pre-departure support in English and straightforward airport-to-boat transfers.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Blue Dream is operated by IonionSails.gr.

Can Blue Dream be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Blue Dream 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 Blue Dream ?

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.
