SailChecker Expert View

I appreciate you sharing this listing, but I need to be straightforward with you: there's not enough reliable data here for me to give you a proper charter assessment.

Missing critical details: The listing shows Year "0" (which doesn't make sense), no base location, and minimal equipment specs—no mention of engine type, sails, navigation gear, or whether it's bareboat or skippered. Without knowing where "Bigi" floats, I can't advise on sailing conditions, flight accessibility, or whether it suits your plans.

Red flags to clarify: That €350 deposit seems unusually low for a 12.8m yacht, which makes me wonder if pricing or availability data might be incomplete. I'd need to know the weekly charter rate, peak season dates, and what's actually included before recommending it.

Next step: Contact Free Charter Srl directly and ask for the full specs—build year, base port, complete inventory, and total cost breakdown. Once you have those details, I'm happy to give you an honest opinion on whether this Dufour 41 is worth your money and whether it matches what you're after.

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