Ideal for active cruisers This 2019 Dufour is perfect if you're sailing a mixed-ability group—three cabins sleeping eight means families or friends can spread out comfortably, and the modern design balances performance with livability. The Ionian base (Greek islands) is spectacular for bareboat exploration or light flotilla cruising.

Well-equipped and thoughtful You're getting genuine cruising kit here: solar panels, bow thruster, diving gear, and snorkeling equipment signal an operator who understands what makes Greek island sailing enjoyable. The convertible saloon table and bimini are practical touches for anchoring in hot, shallow waters—this boat is geared for the lifestyle, not just passage-making.

Strong value proposition At 12 metres with three cabins and a 4.9-star rating from actual charterers, Argo punches above its weight for mixed groups. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and IonionSails' consistently high feedback suggests reliable maintenance and responsive support—important when you're flying in from abroad.

One practical note You'll want to confirm the base location and nearest airport transfer time before booking; Ionian bases vary from 30 minutes to 2+ hours from Corfu or Athens depending on where you're chartered. Check current fuel and provisioning policies, as Greek island logistics can be tighter than some Mediterranean bases.

The marina & destination

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

Can Argo be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Argo 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 Argo?

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.
