Perfect for couples This 2022 Dufour 390 works brilliantly for two people or a small family wanting comfortable cruising without the complexity of a larger yacht. The three-cabin layout gives you flexibility, extra guest space or a dedicated saloon feel.

Well-equipped modern boat You're getting genuine 2022 build quality with practical touches like bow thruster, sprayhood, and Wi-Fi onboard, handy for staying connected between anchorages. The cockpit cushions and bimini canopy make daytime sailing genuinely pleasant, especially in strong Mediterranean sun.

Reasonable value proposition At this size and age with solid onboard kit, pricing should sit in the mid-range for Mediterranean bareboat. The €2000 deposit is standard and manageable for a boat of this spec.

One heads-up on location The charter base operator (NCP-Charter) has a solid 4.3/5 rating, but we're missing the specific base location here, that matters for your travel planning. Before booking, confirm where you're departing from and factor in airport transfers; long-haul flyers will want to know if it's a straightforward drive or a multi-leg journey to the marina.

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Marina Mandalina in Šibenik sits perfectly positioned for exploring the central Dalmatian coast, with the Kornati Islands and Pakleni Islands within easy reach of your first week's sailing. The marina offers good shelter and full facilities, making it an ideal base to head north toward the island-dotted Zadar region or south to Hvar and Brač, depending on prevailing northwesterly winds. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping through shallow, protected waters with consistent afternoon breezes, ideal for building confidence before venturing further along the coast.

Can Barone be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Barone 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 Barone?

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.
