Smart family cruiser The Dufour 412 Grand Large is a well-designed cruising yacht that suits families or small groups wanting comfort without complexity—this 2016 model offers three cabins sleeping six, which spreads the cost nicely across a group. The practicality of a bow thruster and sprayhood means easier handling in tight anchorages and more relaxed sailing in choppy conditions.

Solid creature comforts Standout features include the bimini top for shade (essential in Mediterranean summer), sprayhood for weather protection, and a bow thruster that takes real stress out of manoeuvring—especially valuable if your crew includes less experienced sailors. The Dufour 412 is a proven, stable platform with forgiving handling characteristics.

Value proposition At this size and age, you're getting established, reliable mid-range sailing—not flashy, but honest workmanlike kit that holds up well. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable, and the operator's 5/5 rating across their fleet suggests good maintenance and support, which matters when you're flying in from overseas.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in the data, so confirm your airport transfer time before booking—depending on where Boomerang operates, you could face a long drive from your arrival airport, which eats into your first charter day.

The marina & destination

Str. Panoramica Costa Smeralda Km0,100

Can Gavi be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Gavi 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 Gavi?

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.
